    There is a condition called refractory celiac, where they immune system doesn't seem to know how to back off when the gluten is removed. You could have that I suppose, but it is supposed to be very rare. Have the put you on any immuno-suppressants? That might help if you are still producing antibodies. I am not a doctor either but my brother had both...

    Hey Zack, From what I've read here, neuro symptoms like ataxia can be kinda slow to go away. So, don't expect them to clear up in two weeks. They may improve tho. When you want to check a product, try Google like was suggested, and you can also check the nutrition info on the manufacturers site. Or the FAQ which often has a blurb about gluten content...

    Yes, it is normal for it to take some time to feel better after going gluten-free. Some people feel better very quickly, others take a long time. You are not throwing a light switch, so don't expect it to be instantaneous. There are real biological changes going on in your body. Your body needs to wind down from producing antibodies to your intestines...

    Open Original Shared Link Looks pretty bad. The fault line seems to run across the road in this video. Could be the worst damage is long that line. Lots of people walking around tho and cars even able to drive down the street, so not total devastation. Buildings are still standing right along this fault line, if that's what it is. Hopefully Schroomster...

    Yep, sounds like withdrawal symptoms. They should ease off in a few days. Drink lots of water and try to get some rest.

    I think everyone is at least a closet artist. It seems to me that all kids like to draw when they are young. Even if it is stick figures they like to do it. Then at some point most of the kids get turned off on drawing for whatever reason. So they become repressed artists. So my figuring is that there are lots more artists in reality than ESL teachers...

    Hopefully you like sweet potatoes or yams? They are not the same family as regular white potatoes and probably won't make you sick. I can eat sweet potatoes just fine, but not the white potatoes. Sweet potatoes are good you anyway, they have lots of orange stuff in them. By the way , coconut is just something that bothers me, it may not bother...

    Food allergy testing is not a bad thing, but it won't tell you about food intolerances. Allergy tests are based on an IgE immune response, vs food intolerances which are an IgA, IgG etc response.

    I fart, belch and scratch my rear at inappropriate moments. I am a male so what do you expect? I also am a network project manager and work at home coordinating contractors doing network installations for the military. That's a bunch of fun so I do art on the side to keep from going wacko. I mostly make abstract encaustics right now. By my count...

    Hmm, I've never seen Twilight so I voted can't decide. Is that so wrong? Wringing hands here. I'd prolly vote for the hottest female lead if I had any clue who they were tho. I am more partial to Buffy and Angel myself, having seen them. Between those two I choose Buffy tho, um and Willow, and Anya, maybe Darla ain't so bad. Nah, no Darla. Then again...

    That's great that you are finding things you enjoy eating. You may find that your appetite for food diminishes some over time on the gluten-free diet. That might happen if your intestines heal and you begin absorbing nutrients (vitamins/minerals) that you were low on before. No guarantee that will happen to you, but it could. I ate a lot more food before...

    Hi, welcome to the board. I don't know that I have had a yeast infection but I have had plenty of other symptoms. There are quite a few threads about yeast problems around though so maybe one of them can help you.

    You have only been gluten-free for 3 weeks! Don't expect to learn everything you need to avoid and also heal in just 3 weeks. Your body needs time to adjust and so does your mind. Keep going and try some probiotics once in a while. And keep reading here on this forum, including older threads.

    I can't eat nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) or coconut. Maybe you are reacting to those also?

    ARCHIVED Night Sweats?

    GFinDC replied to mcbeez's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Similar threads: Very Bad Night Sweating...what Could It Be? I'm Hot Can We Talk About Body Temperature Regulation? Is this celiac-related or something else? I had the night sweats too. Gone now but I had to eliminate a lot of foods besides gluten to get rid of them. I think they are caused by a constant low level fever from irritation of some...

    Hey Beth, I was vegetarian for 5 years. But I went back to eating dead animals and wouldn't change that. I think they are really yummy! It is much easier to get the protein you need if you eat meat. I can't eat soy so most vegetarian meals are out from the get go. It is generally better to eat whole foods instead of processed foods at the beginning...

    You are just starting on the gluten-free diet. Your instestinal flora will adjust to gluten-free over time. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take some probiotics though to help with the adjustment.
  18. GFinDC
    I think your doctor should mostly not shoot himself in the noggin. Maybe just a little bit won't hurt him though right? When you went gluten free you had probably been suffering damage to your instestines for quite a while, months or even years like some of us. You aren't going to go back to that level of damage from an isolated incident. But that...

    It doesn't hurt anyone not to eat gluten. So there is no harm in trying it for a few months or more to see what happens. It can only help if there is an issue with it. So I think you are on the right track. The gluten free diet can be a very healthy diet also, if you follow a whole foods diet. A whole foods diet as in eating foods that aren't processed...

    Hi Padma, I suggest you review the ingredients of all the gluten-free products that you removed from your diet. Look for all common ingredients. Many, many gluten-free baked goods have both soy and potato flour in them, and dairy and eggs are not rare either. All of these are common food intolerances for many of us, although not all will have any particular...

    You are sure right about the flourless peanut butter cookies, they are really easy to make and good too! I like to add whole peanuts to them sometimes or some gluten-free cereal like Bakery on Main granola. I don't know if this is the same corn bread mix you are talking about, but this one has wheat flour in it, so it is not gluten-free. I don't think...

    Your doctor might be interested in reading this article: Study Shows Gluten Intolerance Without Celiac Disease And the Journal article it was based on: Open Original Shared Link Scott (the site admin) posted these a few days ago.

    I have digestive symptoms from dairy also. I used to not be able to sleep if I ate any dairy, it kept me mentally wired all night. I don't eat it tho. You can try an elimination diet to learn what foods are problems for you. There are tons of threads on them.
  24. GFinDC
    Good one! They should make all endocrinologists watch this.
  25. GFinDC
    Your improvement after going gluten free certainly means something doesn't it? It could be celiac or it could be gluten intolerance, but either way it is a gluten problem. Welcome to the site!
