hello, I also have had recent history of menstrual irregularities but only since going gluten free! I am a normal body weight actually always been bigger than average. Had normal periods until I started detoxing heavily and reduced calories and protein trying to "heal my intestines" I stopped menstruating for over 7 months and as soon as I began eating more...

I have taken L-Glutamine for a few years now and it really does help ( when you remember to take it regularly ) I have a powdered form with aloe and licorice root added made by Metagenics. It was expensive but I like to take it in powdered form. I bought it at my doctor's office, she recommened it and she told me to take it mixed with a half cup of warm...

I am starting to wonder whether I have a soy intolerance also. I've been vegetarian my whole life so it has always been a big part of my diet. I have been gluten free for four years and finally broke down and admitted casein problem and eliminated it completely two years ago. I have been wondering about soy.... I live in India where the diet is very starch...

I got sick right after spending a semester in France where I ate all the bread, esspreso, refined sweets and goodies you could imagine. I got a really bad flu and took an overthe counter french medecine called "DOLI-RHUME" which I checked later contains gluten!!!!! Anyway following my return from France I was sick for 6 months until I started an elimination...

I have been Gluten Free for almost 4 years ( but it seems to be a cyclical healing process) I am still VERY sensitive to other foods especially caffeine. I stopped drinking caffeine 10years ago because of bladder issues but still recognize how great it can be sometimes. So whenever I convince myself that its ok to just have it this once or decide I"m healed...

Once I asked my mom if I could look at her poo becuase I wanted to know what "normal" meant. My father who is also celiac when going gluten free said "wow, I guess I've never had normal solid stools my whole life!" Even after being gluten-free for 4 years I still have a spectrum of poo.... I wish it were normalized but when its a good one, yes I'm so...

This happens to me too often and its so aggravating to think of the unnnecessary pain we have to live with because of unclear food labeling. Its really hard because I live in a country that doesn't require proper food labeling and emulsifier and stabilizers are often gluten products but its just a guessing game. This time I got sick but it was my fault for...

I hadn't really thought that there was a connection between the celiac or DH and my itching problem but now that I've seen all of your comments I think there must be. I had itching when I was on the pill almost 5 years ago. Itching only on the legs and no rash or sign or allergy just unexplained unrelenting itchingt! IT went away no idea why but now it has...

Thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate your responses. I'm going to call both doctors suggested and try to hook up with the local celiac support group. thanks, julie

I have been gluten free for almost a year now, but have had no positive diagnosis. I had one doctor (gastroenterologist) who didnt really listen and prescribed a drug called raglan- which "empties the stomach out faster" in his words. I started to read up myself and decided to stop eating wheat, at which point my symptoms decreased and I started feeling...
