Hello ladies and gents. Pleased to meet you all; this is exclusively my first post. You all seem to be quite knowledgable in this forum. May I summon your expertise? What were your symptoms; at the onset of your suspected gluten allergy? How long has it been since your diagnosis; and are you still having said symptoms?

7 years with "fibromyalgia" severe and profound muscle weakness, migraines, weight gain, sores on arms and face that would burn and weep and oooze at night. Itced like crazy resulting in excoriations. Diarrhea, nausea, depression, anxiety. Well, found this site and got better by going gluten free immediately 2 years ago. Welcome! Good luck to you. You will get a wide variety of responses to this question as there are over 300 symptoms of celiac. Hey Doc! I don't have fibromyalgia or neurotic excoriation after all. I have Celiac disease. Doc says...yeah, I bet you do.... This after 7 years and 25 Dr.'s.

2 years gluten free and I don't have anything wrong with me except some residual flashbacks and PTSD from no Dr. listening to me all those years. But otherwise...healthy and happy. Muscles work and no headaches or rashes.

Five years ago I was really rough.

High blood pressure

Blood pressure would plummet when I stood up.

Irritable and hopeless.

Weight 30 lbs of water.

Extreme constant fatigue/mind fogginess

Mysterious bloating.

Unexplained swelling, I was told was my imagination.

Shortness of breath.

Numbness.

rashes

Periods very heavy.

I could fall asleep between words on a spelling test.

I began a supplement program with help from a chiro. I improved my blood pressure, weight, and fatigue. I was much better and out of major threat. Still I had mysterious problems which would crop up.

Six months back with the help of my chiropractor, I decided to try gluten free. I did a classical gluten free diet for two months. After that I have been doing grain free. My mind has cleared and I have not been suffering from fatigue. I am starting to see how my symptoms are caused by gluten contact.

I did a genetic test and found I had 2 alleles for gluten intolerance and 2 for Celiac. Now, I am trying to get further testing for allergies and nutrient absorption.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
