As a biopsy-diagnosed Celiac for the last 6 or 7 years I've been relentlessly strict with my diet. I feel pretty much fine now but sometimes I get down about being a Celiac...I worry a lot that they'll be complications down the road, in fact, I think I tend to over worry. Can any long time Celiacs add some good positive comments about being a Celiac so I can get some perspective again?

Cheers, as always... :D

Amanda, I have only been gluten free for 2 years, but I will tell you I'm reading Wheat Belly right now, and if I ever had any doubts about eating gluten free...this has solidified it for me. I believe everyone would be healthier cutting most to all wheat out their diets. You are doing your body a huge favor and adding years to your life. I think that as long as you remain strictly gluten free, you don't have to overly worry about complications.

      How to keep water down?

      Prolonged dehydration can cause kidney damage. How long has this been going on? Are you have diarrhea also? That's what the dyclomine is for I think.

      Thanks for noticing my avatar, or "profile pic" as you call it. It trust the ichthus symbol is meaningful to you as well. It's certainly nice to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease if that is the problem but I think you have discovered by experience in changing your eating habits that you either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten...

      Thanks for noticing my avatar, or "profile pic" as you call it. It trust the ichthus symbol is meaningful to you as well.  It's certainly nice to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease if that is the problem but I think you have discovered by experience in changing your eating habits that you either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). With either condition, the antidote is the same, total abstinence from gluten for a life. In some countries, like the UK, there are government subsidies for offsetting the cost of gluten free food and some additional follow-up support if you have an official diagnosis. Many people find themselves in the same boat as you by experimenting with the gluten-free diet before getting tested and unable to endure the "gluten challenge" in order to get testing done for an official diagnosis. It is very common for people with celiac disease to develop other food intolerances/sensitivities.
