Hey there everyone, it's been awhile sense I have checked the sight and wow looks like everyone has been busy. I just thought I would check in and say "hello" to everyone and see if anyone has big summer plans yet ? Thumper

Thanks everyone that helped me to remember why I am staying gluten-free. All of you are correct and I have been feeling much better it is just so very hard and time comsuming to stay gluten-free that you forget how really sick you were before you felt better. I know it must sound stupid the question I had asked but I just needed a reminder that this is...

Ok I have reached a point where I have been gluten-free for 2 months and doing fairly good but I have lost sight of why I am doing all of this again. Following a gluten-free diet so could everyone chime in as to why I am doing this again ??? Thumper

Hey everyone, I have been gluten-free for alittle over a month now. I have had my ups and downs and I still have ALOT to learn yet, but I have great friends in this wonderful group that have helped me tremendously. Well once again I find myself over my head this is the second day of having really terrible symptoms return to me, Imodium has helped some and...

Sense I have been gluten free sinse Feb. 6, 2008 which I realize is only 3 weeks I have been on a mission to learn as much as possible about celiac as fast as possilbe.. Maybe it is just because I was so very sick for over 13 yrs before getting a right diagnoses and maybe I have my expectations too high. I truly thought that by this time I would be feeling...

Question....Are you absolutely sure that this is chicken pox? Because you are Celiac...it may be Dermatitis Herpetiformus (sp?). I thought that I had poison Ivy last fall, before my diagnosis.....except that it didn't really look or act like poison ivy, wasn't helped with the usual treatments, and lasted a loooooong time. The blisters burned, and I wanted...

No actually I am not for sure it is chicken pox but it sure looks like it but what you just discribed sounds like it too... I know that when my children (all 4) had chicken pox I never got them and they had them really bad in fact I was still nursing my youngest (he was about 9 months) when they had them and I never got them... that was about 19 yrs ago...

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can treat Chicken Pox at my age, 44 yrs. ?? I never had them as a child and it appears to be a very good chance that I have them. I want to itch my skin off !!! One would of thought if I had made it this long without getting them I was scott free of any chance of getting them, guess not. UGH !!!

Hey All, I love the CSI humor going on right now I laughed so hard. I agree that humor is great to destress but I also have found out that stress certainly makes my symptoms worse. I just started to feel alittle better and then wham came the stress.... I do things like reading, knitting, crocheting and walks when I am not running to the bathroom...lol....

Hey thanks for posting the link, I found it very interesting. So much so I printed it out for what I call my "Celiac learning binder" Thanks again, Thumper

I did forget to mention that I started a gluten-free multi, a gluten-free B complex, with the other stuff. I forget that I have been sick for over 13 yrs w/o a diagnoses and just recently correctly diagnosed. I guess I am so very worn down for so long and sick and tired of not feeling better that I expected I would feel better over night. Supid I guess or...

Wow I have been sleeping alot lately and even after sleeping about 10 - 12 hours a night I am sleeping my days away lately.

I just started on a probiotic and digestive enzymes to try to help...
