I need help trying to figure out some new symptoms that I am experiencing. My knee swells off and on, all of my joints are achey and I have dull pain in my shoulder, back, and hips. Whenever I sit for 20 minutes or more, I become very stiff and sore. Getting up becomes hard. My muscles in my arms are weak. After I get up and move around for a bit, the stiffness...

I was diagnosed with Celiac last year. It has taken me a whole year to finally start liking the taste of the gluten free breads. I tried eveything and baked so many kinds of breads, but I hated everything! Now my taste has finally started to change, and I am finding some of the things I hated, don't taste too bad now. Maybe it takes time for your body to...

I contacted the Ferrara Pan candy company back in October and they emailed me a list of candies that are gluten free. Open Original Shared Link all gummies Ferrara or Black Forest all Jellies (gum drops, orange slices, etc...) all the Lemonheads, Appleheads all JUJU all jelly beans sour Jacks Cherry Sours Boston Baked...

I'm Irish, English, Scottish, and German.

I have Barrett's Esophagus. This occurred after 7 years of having really bad acid reflux. When I was diagnosed with Celiac last year, my acid reflux almost completely stopped when I went on a gluten free diet. I go for a EGD every couple of years to check for cancer, and I still take my Prevacid and Zantac to keep the reflux from returning. It was amazing...

I have been gluten free for one year, and a vegetarian for seven years. I am now lactose intolerant (this just started a couple of months ago!). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get enough protein into my diet? I don't eat dairy at all (the lactaid pills don't work for me, they make sick). Cheese doesn't make me as sick as the milk, but it does make me...

I have 3 daughters, ages 18, 16, and 14. The two younger ones have argued and fought since they were big enough to do it! Even though they are teenagers now, nothing has changed. Over the years I have tried anything and everything, but had no luck in stopping the madness!! I gave up. Now when they start, I go to my room for a mom's timeout. That way, I stay...

Maybe you have refactory celiac that doesn't respond completely to the gluten free diet. This would explain why your nutrient absorption isn't improving. If you have a type of refactory celiac, then your intestines wouldn't heal.

Maybe you are having a reaction to corn. I also have a problem with dairy and when I accidentally eat some, I get really bloated and have lots of gas that lasts for probably a week and a half to two weeks sometimes. The bloating and gas then goes away. Maybe the casein hasn't completely cleared out yet.

Some people have Celiac with no symptoms, but the damage is still be done to their intestines. They are at greater risk of getting cancer later on because they let it go on for so long without knowing.

I keep my PB in the fridge, but I microwave for 10 seconds before using. It softens it a bit.

Hi, when I was first diagnosed with high cholesterol, I went on a strict diet and exercised daily. After six months of this, my doctor ran the test again. Guess what, my cholesterol was 50 points higher!!! After this news, I was so discouraged. I did some digging and found out that there was 10 people on my mothers side with high cholesterol, and 8 people...

Count me in too. I bruise easily, and they last a long time. Maybe my vitamin levels are low. I will have to check it out. If anyone has any other ideas please speak up. Thanks. Oh, by the way, welcome to the board.

I was dealing with anemia for several years on and off. The doctor couldn't figure out why I was always anemic. I was taking supplements and eating the right foods. She didn't know that I had Celiac at that time. Once I was diagnosed and went gluten free, the anemia cleared up! My body could actually absorb the iron that I was eating.
