  1. Not every Celiac has the same symptoms. I used to have diarrhea all the time but my Mom was ALWAYS constipated. Some people do fine with gluten in their shampoo and what not. I'd go gluten-free with your nail polish and make up, though, since you are new and those could go in your mouth. I personally do it all gluten-free. The best way to find out if...
  2. Are you eating more vegetables? I notice chocolate can bother me.
  3. All I know is that if I accidently eat gluten, it is way worse than it ever was before diagnosis. Probably because we heal and then destroy all that.
  4. My Brother and I (both diagnosed Celiacs) have completely different symptoms. He suffers from bad reflux.
  5. So you don't have Celiac Disease? Taking Pepto often like that doesn't sound good. . .are you sure you don't have something more than nerves? From the time I was 4 or so until 17 doctors told me and my family that my stomach issues and such were being a nervous child and then eventually that I was making myself sick on purpose. They told my Mom to feed...
  6. That sounds like a very common Celiac reaction! The brain fog can be so annoying and bothersome!
  7. I do not think gluten can cause overweigtness but it can cause bloating. I try to limit my calories, exercise, and do substations in recipes. Using some butter and the rest apple sauce while baking is a good way and eating more vegetables is, too. I also love making fries but use an oven and no oil.
  8. After you are gluten-free for awhile you just learn to know what your body says. If you can't link a change to a specific food, you can do an elimination diet. You stay gluten-free and remove something from your diet, soy, casein, etc. Keep a journal with what you ate and how you felt. Like you said though, eating too many onions can cause tummy aches...
  9. If you go 100% gluten-free for awhile (weeks or months) and see an improvement then you will know. If you want an official doctor diagnosis, then you have to eat gluten everyday for at least 2 weeks.
  10. https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...amp;#entry96891 That topic was made in 2004 by me. I have loads of nightmares still but not as much as I did back then. Still, though, I have more than any other people that I know.
  11. You have to give your diet weeks or months. This way your body can adjust. It is the same for any change whether wheat-free or going vegetarian. Good luck!
  12. It sounds like you are going through a lot! When I was a child, the doctors told my mom and me that I was making myself sick, so, I know how frustrating it can be when you really are ill. If you aren't happy with your doctors, and do not need an official diagnosis, you can always do an elimination diet. If that makes your symptoms go away, then you have...
  13. Welcome to the board! You really need to be eating gluten for a few ways or weeks to get the right test result. Maybe you were eating enough, though.
  14. Some of those sound like Celiac symptoms, but most people react differently. The wart thing may be related to a weakened immune system, but I don't know that for sure- just a guess. I am glad your symptoms cleared up after going gluten-free!
  15. Whoa! You need to be eating gluten to have accurate tests! 10 months gluten-free is a long time. Do you feel better on the diet? That may have to be your answer because otherwise you'll need to eat it again to have a valid result. Show him information from loads of sources like these two: "This test can become negative relatively quickly after going...
  16. Ohhhhh, I stocked up on that before I came home, and about last year my local stores started selling their products. Not the same exact stuff but still yummie!
  17. If you feel good off gluten then that is a big sign that you shouldn't eat it. You may have a gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease. As for the mold thing, I don't know, but a lot of people get sick from mold.
  18. It is possible that that caused a reaction. When I am working with hay I notice I get all stuffed up and sneeze a lot and the same when I am helping bake something not gluten-free. Once I stopped to think about it, I figured that was why. I also get skin reactions, though.
  19. Wow, I wonder if they will be easily accessible to buy.
  20. I always knew I had an issue with dairy but after going gluten-free I noticed it more (probably since my gluten symptoms were gone). What I did was stopped eating things with lactose in them (no improvement) and then stopped eating everything with lactose and casein (big improvement). A dietitian isn't going to run tests on you so you can be off gluten...
  21. It sounds like you have a lot of Celiac symptoms! The whole getting officially diagnosed thing is really up to you. If you do not need that confirmation and the diet is working great, then why go on gluten again? Say you do need more proof, then you have to eat gluten and I think for about 2 weeks. Some doctors can see the improvements from the diet,...
  22. It may take longer than a week for improvements to show. Were your boys completely casein-free or just off milk? It wouldn't hurt to try to have them off both casein and gluten but you have to make sure you are 100% off. This is hard at first but well worth the try. Good luck!
  23. I personally do not take anything unless I have to. I just want everything to come out of my system. However, it sounds like your symptoms are not like mine, though. So, you may try teas and peppermint to help with the tummy ache and nausea.
  24. I know I have seen books written for children, but I can't recall their names! I did a quick search and found: Open Original Shared Link and http://www.(Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)/gluten-free-Kid-Celiac-Diseas...6512&sr=8-9 Now, I don't know if they are any good.
