    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...

    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....

    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 am very new to celiac disease and I was told that it could be very helpful to use gluten free body soaps, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, etc.... So off to the store I went thinking well this sounds easy enough. Wow was I wrong !! I started reading labels on all the health and beauty items and realized how stupid I am and that I would need a degree in...

    Thanks for the information. I have seen ALL the GI specialists in our area and NONE of them were able to come up with the reason why I was having such severe diarrhea and NO normal bm's over the 13 years this has been going on. It was my Cardiologist that tripped on the diagnoses of Celiac as a possibility she wants a referral to Mayo while there is still...
