Hi, I am now 2 years gluten and dairy free and I can totally relate to your story. It did improve slowly, but I was still struggling with morning anxiety. My doctor recommended something called the Alpha-Stim SCS. In two weeks I feel better than I have in years. I really believe gluten was the cause of my original anxiety and panic and I think the combination...

I had terrible anxiety to the point of contemplating suicide. I finally found out what was wrong....gluten and casein intollerance. After two years of gluten and casein free, I am finally off Celexa and never feel anxious. It truly is a miracle. After suffering for 8 years of my life being told it was in my head and spending $1000's on doctors, I found...

Hi, this might not be exactly the same thing but I was able to wean off of Celexa (antidepressant) since going gluten free. I had terrible anxiety and depression and once I found out it was the gluten and casein, I am almost 100% better. It did take almost two years to reach this point....and so worth it. One more drug to get off and then I will be prescription...

Hi, I take lomotil twice a day. I've been gluten and dairy free for one year now and I still have problems with nerve damage in the intestine. Lomotil is an RX and my GI doc says it is very safe. If I get gluttened I have to up the dosage for about one week. It has been a lifesaver for me. I suffer from anxiety from the spasms and it relieves them. ...

Hi Karen, I'm so glad you found out what really going on with your body. It can be a confusing and long journey. I live in the area and have two celiac children, girls, and then myself. I would love to have some of your books and other things. I would even be willing to pay something for them. I was diagnosed 8 months ago and then tested my two girls...

Yes, this forum has been such a blessing to me! I was diagnosed 8 months ago and I know I have suffered all my life, just didn't know it. As a child I had severe mood swings, pitted teeth, insomnia. As a teenager I had anorexia, mood disorders, ammenorrhea, skin problems. As an adult it finally hit my gut and have had terrible anxiety, depression, migraines...

Hi, I used to take RevitalX every day. I got out of habit and slowly started going down hill again. I am intolerant to gluten and casien. I was recently glutened and had horrible stomach problems and all my anxiety came back. I stopped eating and basically lived on RevitalX for one week and now feel better than ever. Now I'm slowly introducing foods...

Hi, Wow, your story is amazingly similar. I had horrible pregnancies too, bad morning sickness. I used vicodin too when things got bad and it was only to "settle" my stomach. It was always nervous, sick or just not right. Do the memories of what you went through ever haunt you? I can't stand going to the doctors. The thought of ever having to be...

The shoulder pain was one of the first symptoms I had. It then spread to my head, stomach and restless leg syndrome. Maybe you have an interolance to gluten and/or casein but don't have celiac disease. I have been on Lexapro and feel so much better now that I am off everthing. It took my brain about a year to finally get used to no Lexapro, after being...

Hi Patty, Wow, 20 years. That's a long time. So you know all about the doctor game! So glad to hear you're doing better now. It's amazing what gluten can do. Had no idea!

I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. Dairy and gluten were both making me ill for over 10 years. I had very strange symptoms that no doctor could understand. Migraines, pain in shoulder, severe IBS, intestinal flushing feeling, tingling, anxiety, depression, insomnia, brain fog, and the list goes on.... Anyway, I was given codeine after my first...

Thanks everyone for the advice. It's sometimes hard to do the right thing when there are no outward symptoms, but I know that keeping her gluten free is the very best for her. I didn't have symptoms until I was really sick. If I can prevent that from happening to her than it is my responsibility as her mom.

My daughter, Julia, had diarrhea when she was 14 months old for 7 weeks. I finally figured out it was the gluten. I have celiac disease myself and it took me 10 years to finally diagnose it after being sick for way too long. Once I stopped her gluten and had enterolab test her stools, her diarrhea stopped. Her enterolab tests revealed she has antibodies...

I've been gluten free now for 7 months and feel terrific except when I eat Mrs. Mays Naturals Nut mixes. I know there have been some questions about the rice malt in it. I contacted them and was told that they make their own rice malt and it does not contain gluten. However, I still don't feel well when I eat them. Gassy, anxiety back, bloated, etc.....
