Coffee does terrible things to my stomach and sleep patterns. I drink green tea with soy milk!

I have had serious problems with depression and mood disorders all my life. At one point I was even diagnosed manic depressive. But that doctor was stupid because I am not manic depressive. Once I stopped taking all the meds I was on (which were actually making me worse) and changed my diet I started to get much better. I started eating really healthy...

I have just recently gone gluten-free. I have felt leaps and bounds better, however, I still LOOK terrible! My skin has started to clear up (acne), however my skin just looks unhealthy. I look like I'm sick and tired (I have horrible dark circles no matter how much sleep I get.) People always ask me, ARE YOU OK CAUSE YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD?!? hahaha...

sugar doesn't give me gastro problems as long as there is no gluten in it, however I DO have a serious problem with sugar. Whenever I eat sugar, even if it isn't very much, I become depressed the next day. The more I have, the worse the depression is. It's terrible! Even before I discovered my gluten intolerance I knew that sugar negatively effected me...

Yes I totally agree with this. I have been thinking a lot about this today and I have talked with my family about it. It makes SO much more sense to just forget the "official" diagnosis and just do what feels right. It's just such a weird thing when your doc tells you DO THIS and you know that makes no sense. But I should be the last person to listen...

I just went to the doc. today. I've been eating gluten free for a month with wonderfull results. After explaining my situation, he said it sounded a lot like Celiac. He drew blood to test for antibodies even though I've been gluten free for almost a month. He said that it could still show antibodies. Has this happened for anyone else? Anyway he...

I am not sure if I have celiac disease or not at this point. I have a GI appointment on Thursday so I will talk to a doctor about it (for the first time). However, I am not all together trusting of doctors for many reasons some of which I'll talk about in this post. So I was wondering if anyone could give me any comments/ideas about my story please!!!...
