ARCHIVED Weight And Waist Loss Going Gluten Free
Aligray replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have lost 34 pounds in eleven months on the gluten-free diet. I definitely had weight to lose. That's for sure. When I found out I had Celiac i decided that if i was going to have to cut all that stuff out of my diet, i would be real careful what i reintroduced. I only have dessert as an occassional treat. O no longer overeat and i feel better. I also cut... -
ARCHIVED Food Question
Aligray replied to blondebombshell's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
From my understanding, each reaction is individual but in my case I will react immediately upon entry. My mouth and throat will burn and sores will develop on my tongue or inside my mouth. Other symptoms wil come within 15 minutes to a few hours. I have a co worker w Celiac. It takes a few hours before she will have a reaction. -

Hey there! Well, for TWO months I have not been feeling well. About two weeks or so ago I came on here to find that after being gluten free for awhile we can develop other intolerances So, I began paying close attention to what I ate and drank and my reactions to each.

ARCHIVED Food Intolerance Diagnosis - Need Help!
Aligray replied to Newbie789's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome! The most important thing here is that you feel better. I also had a negative bloodwork test for Celiac. This is common. If you try the diet and it works then you should continue it. I think everyone is different as far as when they started feeling better. I began to feel better probably within the first month. The bloating was the first... -

My son is 9. He has had severe irritabilaty/anger/defiance/anxiety issues since he was 3 yrs old.
