Jaimek, As I'm sure your aware, our bodies and circumstances are different. Therefore, to give you an accurate response would be a long shot at best. But to be completely honest, it took me 8-12 months to regain my balance so to speak. A large part of my recovery can be attributed to this website. I began visiting celiac.com around 2 months ago and...

Richard, You have a good point. In a lot of ways I think you have to fine tune your diet and find out what works best for you. My assumptions and opinions aren't based on any facts that I can substantiate without question, but my personal experience with these products. Take care, Terence

I wanted to add one more peice of information that I left out of my previous post/ short novel. I often see posts on this sight regarding depression. I can relate to where individuals are coming from. When I first developed the problem (3 yrs ago) I was going through serious issues in my personal life along with the gluten problem. There are a few things...

Kaylee, I contacted Abbott Labs directly to inquire about there ingredients. The individuals I spoke with told me that the suppliers of their ingredients all claim that they are gluten free but they (Abbott labs) do not independently test for gluten. Levoxyl is essentially the same drug but with different fillers. I switched and have noticed a change...

Deb, I have heard there is a link between ADD and the celiac disease. I think at has something to do w/ gluten penetrating the brain barrier??? I'm not a doctor. I got on Adderall a few months ago and have noticed a dramatic difference in my overall sharpness, memory and focus. Also, adderall is gluten free. Have a good one, Terence

Beverly, I've heard that there is a link between celiac disease and attention deficit in many cases. I understand what you mean by reading things over and over. I currently take Adderall and have noticed a dramatic improvements in my attention deficit symptoms. I have become sharper and am able to retain information more effectively. This might be...

Hey Tammy, Good news. The gluten free diet is one of the healthiest diets out there. If you are eating a well rounded diet, lots of fresh veggies, fruit, meat, eggs (lots of eggs!) ect. you should be a bombshell in no time. I am a health nut and typically work out 3-4 times a week. You might want to try some light weight training (consult a personal...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed w/ the gluten allergy roughly 1.5 yrs ago. It has been an uphill battle for the majority of that time. I wanted to share some insight with regards to my diet for people that have been recently diagnosed and are trying to get on track. I am not a doctor and don't claim to have a "sure fire" way to get better. If anyone wants...

Mario, I know exactly how you feel. I recently gave up smoking about 4 weeks ago. I have been with the habit for about 4 years. I typically would have half cigerettes, about 4-6 a day. I started as a result of many extremly difficult things going on in my life. One of which was this problem with gluten. I felt that smoking helped me cope with a physical...

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with the celiac disease roughly 5 months ago after having the problem for 2 years (finally leaving he**). Believe it or not, this is my first visit to this sight. I have local grocery stores that sells gluten free products and I have made a concious effort to avoid all of the suspect ingredients, as if it is possible?...
