ARCHIVED 1 Week Into Being Gluten Free And...
Curious121 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been feeling exactly the same as when I started the Gluten Free Diet. The thing is, though, I was never tested. I have all of the usual symptoms - C and I just experienced a very painful D episode (only one since I started the diet but I usually had D once every other week or so), bloated and always full of gas, usually painfu, thinning hair, swelling... -
ARCHIVED My Next Step
Curious121 replied to Curious121's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just a quick question. Why is it important not to use Gluten Shampoo? How does it effect my intestine when I am washing my hair with it? Can I really just some how catch a few gluten proteins by either crumbs, or beer in my boyfriends mouth, and it cause damage? I have room mates - so it is going to be challenging enough to keep somethings gluten free. So... -
I have decided to just try the gluten free diet and give it time to see if I feel better. Given all the responses and all the success stories it makes a lot more sense to me now just to start cutting gluten out of my diet. I talked to my health food store manager and he was a great help.

ARCHIVED Why Is This So Unknown?
Curious121 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My friends mother is a medical transcriptionist, so she writes down all the medical records for the hospital and has never heard of Celiac Disease or being Gluten Intolerant. Why did my doctor after hearing my symptoms just say IBS, why didn't she mention the other possible things like gluten intolerance? Is it really that unknown to the world of medicine... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Think, Could I Have Celiac Disease?
Curious121 replied to Curious121's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That is really what I needed to hear. I keep reading about people eating only certain things that cause problems but really I feel like everything is problematic - EVERYTHING. I know everyone says just omit gluten from my diet and see if that is the problem, but you are also telling me that it may take up to 6 months to feel better. I know there are false... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Think, Could I Have Celiac Disease?
Curious121 replied to Curious121's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I really appreciate everyones input. I have decided that I am going to get the tests done. I will keep posting my questions and concerns - this place is great. I am almost hoping my tests come back positive just so I will know what is wrong with me and feel a little normal. If it comes back negative I will have to work extra hard at figuring out what makes... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Think, Could I Have Celiac Disease?
Curious121 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone. I am very new to this message board and I have read through a few threads but I am still at a lost if my symptoms are pointing toward Celiac Disease or IBS. I don't know if it is IBS though because I am not always constipated or always dealing with diarhea. So, basically I am just going list my symptoms and hopefully someone can give me a little...
