ARCHIVED Pitfalls Of Self-diagnosis
henrietta replied to JerryK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Reading everyone's posts I tried to think how I feel. To me eating bread is equivalent to sticking my hand in the fire, I have learned from trying it again after a few months of none that the reaction is sudden, violent and I feel ill for several days afterwards. So it isn't a lifestyle choice more a necessary one, if I tuned up at the Drs' daily with a... -
Thank you for posting about dapsone and DH, I am reasonably certain I have this skin problem as for the last few years I have had identical symptoms to the photographs found elsewhere on the site. I have the lesions on both arms, shoulders, and now it has spread to my legs. They start as itchy red places, drive me insane with burning heat and itching,...

ARCHIVED How Long 'til I Feel Better?
henrietta replied to teamworkjr's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
[i agree it takes time for your gut to settle down, I am now several months on from eliminating gluten and it has obviously healed a little, because now I can "test" foods to see if I can tolerate them, and some I can, some I definitely can't. Any form of bread is a total no no apart from gluten free, it provokes an instant (30 min) reaction of strong stomach... -
I hope this works, the screen has shown your post too! Firstly I am glad you have a firm diagnosis, I too endured (!) the camera up my nether regions but mine showed I was in excellent shape, something I wasn't expecting after the symptoms. I think if I were you I would still stay clear of gluten for a few months, it obviously doesn't agree with your body...

ARCHIVED Can Anyone Shed Any Light On These Symptoms?
henrietta replied to henrietta's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Quick update, well after a few months on a gluten free diet and weekly acupuncture I would like to report all my symptoms have vanished. I have normal toilet habits (yay) and only get stomach cramps when I cheat and eat things I shouldn't. It has got easier to eat the diet, I eat more cheese than previously and actually enjoy the true free crackers instead... -
Mine seemed to suddenly become much worse after we bought a home bread maker. My symptoms which I had lived with for years became ten times worse and I deteriorated from then on. It had only become obvious what was wrong with me since I gave up all gluten products as the Dr advised as a trial. I am very much still finding my way through this and one of...

ARCHIVED Update On Henrietta
henrietta posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello everybody, and thank you for the advice I received when I first found the forum! I thought I would update you after my three weeks of gluten free eating (well not free as I am still discovering gluten hides in so many places..) Within three days of stopping gluten the majority of my symptoms disappeared completely. It took a week or so to actually... -
ARCHIVED Can Anyone Shed Any Light On These Symptoms?
henrietta posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone, I found this site through a search and hope you can help me. I've been ill on and off getting steadily worse for eight weeks. It started when we bought a home bread maker, the bread was fabulous and immediately I noticed I had much less trouble going to the loo, as before I was often constipated. i didn't eat any commercial bread again...
