Reactions Getting Worse: Two Years Post Diagnosis
AliciaKaur replied to AliciaKaur's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Absolutely and it makes it much harder to eat out. I have surprisingly eaten out here and there safely, but I recently took recommendations from younger celiacs (who I later found out cheat) and I got sick. We just moved to a new area and my old local celiac group was amazing. There’s also gluten sensitive people who still eat some gluten as well, and it c... -

Reactions Getting Worse: Two Years Post Diagnosis
AliciaKaur replied to AliciaKaur's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It took me so long to be diagnosed I never had a cheating period, but I do know I used to eat plenty of gluten and I baked constantly. I carry a genetic variant for the disease. My sister’s best friend was diagnosed in high school and would cheat but also has had to relieve herself in a parking lot due to explosive diarrhea. Not my idea of a fun time. ...- 11 replies

If it would help you, I would give you my miserable symptoms. Even the slightest cross contamination makes me so ill. I would probably be in your situation too. There’s so much social pressure and mainstream jokes about people who need to be gluten free. My symptoms are both a curse and a blessing. Please be positive though about your future. I...

After experiencing severe symptoms for six years, I finally was diagnosed with celiac disease two years ago. I went gluten-free and immediately started feeling better. There was a learning curve (including getting rid of wheat-contaminated spices like turmeric). Recently, I had been really healthy, exercising regularly, getting in shape, eating...

10 year old celiac and irrational, awful tantrums
AliciaKaur replied to Ari's mom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I get terribly cranky and like a dark cloud is over all my thoughts when I even get a small glutening from cross contamination. Gluten is intense poison for my body. The healthier I get, the worse my reaction is - even to cross contamination. I will feel cranky, angry, even paranoid for days. As soon as it’s out of my system, I love everyone and everything. ...
