Hello. I definitly get a lot of lower back pain when I get sick from some type of food. I always wondered if that had something to do with the food or what. I never really understood. I also have had problems with foods combined at times when they are ok by themselves and sometimes food is ok by itself when it makes me sick combined. it's REALLY weird. I...

Amen THank you so much for your reply. I am very interested to try this. I was eating very few complex carbs the past couple weeks and then a couple days ago I had this starving, dizzy, crazy attack and went crazy on carby foods (hummus, rice cakes, corn chips.. all gluten free things.. I really tried to avoid gluten hah) and now since then im craving them...

Hello. I see that there are a lot of things you are unable to eat. I have a lot of problems and Im almost positive it is mostly caused by foods. How did you come to find out what you could and couldnt eat and what CAN you eat?? I'm 25 and pray it doesnt take till I'm 35 to feel better thank u. Jenn

I was just wondering if anyone on here has pernicious anemia and if you do.. how did you find out? I have a lot of the symptoms and would like to look further into it. Thanks! Jenn

I feel like you do a lot of times. I also have hypoglycemia and have realized I feel much better when I avoid almost all complex grain carbs. I know some people say it's unhealthy but from my personal experience it helps. Also I have to eat at least every 2-3 hrs. If i dont I get horrible mind fog, anger, dizziness, ect that can also occur with gluten intolerance...

Wow! I have so many of those problems as well. it's amazing how many things gluten can do to your system. I feel so drunk sometimes and I never drink. I cant ever think of the right word and my thinking has become VERY slow and I was always an honor student. I get lightheaded and weak often and since I was little I've always had lots of nightmares, but really...

Hey Nora. I have two questions. Firstly, I love mustand and bell peppers and eat them a lot. Do you know why you'd have a reaction to them?? Also, I was diagnoised with hypothyroid last year and also had borderline number. You said that the thyroxine first started to work well on a low-carb and gluten-free diet. I also realize I feel much better digestively...

Hey there. It's really wonderful that you have a positive change with the gluten-free diet! i was wondering what you mean by a strict gluten free diet. I am also trying to figure out if I have gluten problems or something else. I know my problem is dietary, but not completely sure what yet. I know I have a bad reaction to dairy and when I eat too much carbs...

Wow... that is exactly how I feel!! Except I also have lots of stomach/GI probs. I took the blood test one random day after not eating gluten for a little over a week and of course it came back negative. Then I had an edoscopy w/ colitis but the doc didnt see any reason to take a biospy and specifically check for celiac. She wont have anything to do with...

Im not sure but ive heard something about gluten addiction or carb addiction. People say a lot of times we crave the things we are allergic or intolerant to, so, perhaps that is the case?? maybe your body is craving it and having a euphoric (sp?) moment before you feel like poop again. Hope this might help. Have a Grace filled day! Jenn

Hey Jessy. I was wondering how long you were back on gluten before you could take the blood test and what were your results?

Wow. This is truely incredible. I never would have thought the two problems go hand in hand. Thanks for sharing. I have another question for ya though. How soon after you started the gluten free diet did you begin to feel improvement? and Did you get the gene test done? Man, physical problems are so lame and really disturb your day to day living, ya know...

Thanks so much for saying that! I thought I was going crazy. It's good to hear someone else has gone through the same problem.

Hey fellow seekers I went off of gluten between 2 and 3 weeks and saw a little bit of change, but not a lot. I decided if I want to get the blood work done again I better be eating gluten (last time I hadnt been eating it for about a week when I did the test). So, about 4 days ago I ate my first gluten item (chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream!) It was...
