Could It Really Be My Problem?

I have been gluten free for a month now. I am still having good and bad days, of course, but they are better than they were two months ago.

I am self-diagnosed, because everything came back negative. But if I am getting better, then gluten was my problem, right? This would all be easier if my family just got tested.

My sister has an obvious gluten intolerance. She has hidradenitis supparativa bad on her armpits. My mother has IBS. There are a host of autoimmune diseases in my family.

It feels like it is all in your head when you don't have an official diagnosis or that it is something worse.

I am just feeling weird today.

You described me exactly. Yesterday, I found out all my results which were.negative. I told my dr..but I feel.better being gluten-free how do you explain that. She said I cant...all my evidence says you do not have.a.gluten issue. I was not.gluten.free until after testing..

I had a.bad day yesterday and today. Im doubting everything. I.feel like I imagined feeling better without gluten. So now there is nothing to do but challenge myself I guess.

I have been gluten free for about 4 months now. I was not tested, but am allergic to so many other things the doc suggested I try removing gluten from my diet. My 2 year Migraine, and 2 year long sinus infection were gone by the end of the first week! I was not tested, but I KNOW when I've been glutened! I have the big D within 1/2, sometimes followed a few days later by terrible muscle and joint ache, and Brain Fog! I have not accidentally glutened myself for 9 days strait now, and have felt great!

It can ONLY be the Gluten!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
