    Dry eyes are typically associated with arthritis. Maybe that's another auto-immune diease that might be related to celiac disease? Either way, my mother complained of dry eyes to the doc and he said, 'Oh, you have arthritis?' Something about the fluid in your joints affecting your eyes, I'm not sure why....

    Actually, depending on the source, I think it's 'malt' vinegar specifically that's wheat derived. Maybe it's a wierdo mayo brand?

    I say check the salsa and review everything from the day BEFORE, mine always takes a while before I know I'm glutened.

    Hi LA, I take Garden of Life's Primal Defense. You can get most stuff way cheaper at Vitacost online, including lots of other supplements, but for this stuff it's better to buy in bulk because it's cheaper. I think it works fabulously, I'm much healthier than before, but if you're also looking for something that you take a lot of after a stomach illness,...

    Now here I have to disagree Jerry. I have known a plethoraof men, including my friggin father, who wll discuss the frequency, texture, and smell of their bowel movements with an unreasonable amount of glee. Maybe there's just something in the water in CT......

    There's also the fact that the wheat grain itself is not really nutritious at all. It provides almost no essential nutrients, has a very low protein content, and is actually full of something called phytic acid that will behave as an ANTI nutrient, carrying vital things OUT of your system. That's why bran is such a good cleanser! So maybe being 'able' to...

    I SO feel your pain!! You know my biggest problem, which is wierd because I've always had such a sweet tooth? Garlic toast. You know, the Texas toast or the kind you get at Chili's or Ruby Tuesday's? Oh, do I miss garlic toast..... You just can't get something gluten-free so light and fluffy, you know?.....

    Kimberly, is there any chance you've taken a strong antibiotic or anything like that lately? I took Cipro once and turned BRIGHT LOBSTER red and very itchy for about a day....

    Also try plain yogurt with applesauce, it's really surprisingly good, however strange it sounds... You might want to check any vitamins or pills you take against the list of unsafe ingredients on the website here, it's easy to pay attention to your food and forget about the other things you ingest. And if all else fails, just buy rice cakes!

    For the first six months I couldn't tell if I'd been glutened or not, and then it started being obvious and now when I do I'm down for the count for three days. Maybe it depends on how long it's been that you've been gluten-free?

    I just ordered a mixed case of things from Chebe bread.com, I tried one of their mixes and I'm a loyal customer for life! And you save a lot online with them too if you order a bigger case that's not mixed, I just wanted to try everything! They use tapioca flour, they have pizza dough and bread mix and cinnamon mix and focaccia and just wow..... It's in a...

    Hi acod, it actually took me a year before my mood returned to 'normal'. I was a pretty even-keeled person before my celiac disease was triggered, and then I was very depressive for the six months I was the most sick. Once I went gluten free there was a small immediate improvement, and then slowly back to all better after a year or so. I think I would have...

    Actually, I used to have anxiety issues before I went gluten-free, but since a few months after going gluten-free I've only had the GI symptoms when glutened. And brain fog, but I dont get crabby, I'm too confused to be crabby. I only had active GI symptoms that made me truly ILL enough to go to the doctor for about 1/2 a year though, I had that stress-triggered...

    Oh, and the heartburn could still be dietary, I usually hear people recommending to cut out starchy/sugary foods for a while and also caffeine? Or at least coffee, because it's so acidic and oily. Never had it, just an idea.

    Think of it this way Jerry. There are more nerve endings in your gut than there are in your brain. Your gut is responsible for creating more then half of the hormones that keep you functioning every day. And NOW your gut is no longer being attacked on a daily basis, it's healing. OF COURSE you feel better! Yay for you!!! You know what? I feel better...

    Dear confused, I started gaining wieght when I went gluten-free too, however, I desperately needed it! I'm 5'7" and I was under 110lbs. I'm much better now, around 130. Anyway, it's absolutely true that your body is now actually absorbing nutrients and will start retaining them. Keep in mind that up to now your body has been 'starving' and is going to...

    For Jenny and Minx: Please keep in mind, going gluten-free CANNOT hurt you. Eating it can. I am a self-diagnosed celiac disease sufferer, I was very ill for half a year and lost a great deal of weight, had all sorts of stomach issues as well. I had those headaches too. I had a biopsy done for Celiac disease that came back negative. Doctors do NOT know...

    Hi Aura, I agree with everyone, those are very promising signs of improvement. I actually took almost a year of healing until my mood started to really elevate. I also had a few setbacks, like breaking up with my boyfriend and my Dad contracting leukemia, so I think I would have been 'happier' sooner if all that hadnt happened. But you actually sound pretty...

    Hi Meg, I'm 22 and I know exactly how you feel. I got tossed around to a world of different doctors and had a negative endoscopy and everything, but I stayed sick until I went gluten free. It was obvious that was the problem, I was able to stop calling out of work within weeks, but it's very hard to learn what you can have and what you can't. The easiest...

    Hi Amber, here on the Celiac website's FAQ's there is a list of celiac-safe and non-safe ingredients, I'd get the bottle and sit in front of the computer and make sure every ingredient is not on the unsafe list. Melatonin works very well, I've had problems falling and staying alseep all my life, but especially in the first year after I found out about my...
