1 Month gluten-free

Today, is my official 1 month gluten-free anniversary and I cannot believe how much better I feel!! :)

I have had GI issues most of my life as do most of my father's side of the family. I have always been told I had IBS. I had horrible D with major urgency. I have also suffered from migraines, muscle aches, easily breaking bones (especially in my feet and toes), and this weird flush to my neck and face. Of course, the doctors never put all of those symptoms together. I was doing research on IBS and found that most got better being gluten-free. I decided to try for one-month and see how I felt.

D is gone as is the horrible bloating I had. I have lost 5 pounds. I have only had one headache all month and it was a day that it was storming. I can deal with weather related as long as it isn't daily. Muscles and feet feel much better and no more flush (or rash). YAY! I am confident that I will continue to feel better the longer the poison is out of my body!

I am going to tell my doctor about it next time I go in, but I don't need an official diagnosis. I will call myself NCGI and go on with my life! Family and boyfriend are very supportive and have seen the huge improvement in my health and my mood.

I just wanted to say Thank you to all of you. I have been lurking and reading for the past month and will continue to do so. I have found a lot of tips on here that have made this so much easier!

Thanks again!!! :lol:

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!
