    I've been reading lots of people's stories on the site. I can see that different people diagnosed as celiac have different recuperation times before they begin to feel better. And depending how long they went before diagnosis and eliminating wheat and grains from their life, their GI tract state would be different from other people, as they started their...

    Some more ideas Cooking from scratch has been the biggest help to me in getting wheat out of the diet. Running the cost count, it's also cheaper than buying processed foods, and you avoid all those additives that are iffy healthwise, but aren't strictly a problem for celiacs. People have given good ideas for lower budget eating in this thread. ...

    My problems with wheat and milk showed up during the time in which I was perimenopausal, so it has been impossible to know which was setting off night sweats. I had a very definite correlation between night sweats and being fatigued, however. That could trace back either to celiac or to menopause issues, or to both at the same time. When I got rest...

    A small give-back in appreciation for this site, which I've discovered a few days ago. It's been so helpful. As I have been reading past threads, getting to know this site I remembered something. Some users have written about problems with diarrhea. This is no cure for the underlying cause of diarrhea, but it may help a diarrhea suffer get through...

    Hi andie Interesting thoughts. I don't know what triggered my problems, but I've always wondered whether it was coming down with viral meningitis. I also read that celiac sometimes crops up midlife, or at menopause. All 3 of those converged for me.

    OK, I was raised eating oatmeal some mornings....it was probably missing that, but when I heard about quinoa, which is a seed, a "pseudo grain", not a grain, that shows up in the "OK to eat" lists for celiacs, I tried it. It has a spot in my mornings, definitely. It cooks up in 15 minutes, on a conventional stove. Put whatever you'd put in dry...

    That's true. These markets also have gram flour, which is chickpea flour. The rice flour usually comes in fine and coarse. I use a little rice flour instead of cornstarch to thicken a stew gravy, sometimes.

    My first post after registering is a rant about my frustration with my doc over in the false negatives thread, so I won't repeat it here. My golly, these docs we're writing about all use the same lines! "I don't believe in..." "Here, take a pill, to sleep better..." My max out was that despite 1) reporting a ton of symptoms for 2 years and 2) then...

    Thanks, happygirl! That description of seronegative celiac disease provides good vocab to use to talk with doctors. That last sentence pretty much encapsulated what my HMO doc was doing. And thanks for the idea of finding a support group for recommendations. The ones around me don't seem to have been active since 2004, but I can cold-call individual...

    I've just registered on this site. What got me to do it was beginning to read about these negative tests. And wowsie, Peter, I had your same experience with the doc. I can tell already that parts of my story are frequent for a lot of other people on this site: I had a pretty sudden onset of extreme fatigue, no rest at all when I would sleep, pains...
