Ursa Major,
Thanks for the link to the article. I read it, and it's quite interesting. So, where do you get the Himalayan salt that you mentioned? I've been using Sea Salt for the last 2-3 weeks. Is that good too, or is the Himalayan stuff still better? I try to really limit how much I even use of the sea salt.

SheRides,
Oh, by the way, my blood tests came back negative for Celiac disease, too. My Allergist warned me in advance (as did my regular doc) that these things aren't always (or even often) accurate, and that I needed to try the diet to be sure if it would help or not.

SheRides,
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!! Thank you, thank you for your reply!!! Hidden in your answer was a gem that I will hold onto - you have no idea! I have been sleeping practically sitting up since Oct. I simply cannot breath at night. I'm so congested. My one great goal in life is to be able to sleep lying down again (as you mentioned!!!) I am SO hoping...
Flourgirl,
Thank you - you are very kind. I do wonder how many little things that have plagued me over the years (that no one has really had an anwer for) might clear up now that I'm gluten-free. It will be interesting to see how much of it is related to celiac!
flourgirl,
That's interesting . . . . how long have you been gluten-free? I'm anxious to see results, but I've only been g.f. for two weeks now. Maybe I'm expecting too much, too soon?

Thank you everyone! At least I know that I'm not alone and suffering some strange, unheard of symptom! It is so nice that this website is available - it's helping me not to feel so isolated!!!
Thank you! I was wondering if a meal high in salt made my hands more puffy, but I thought it might only be my imagination. Is it typical of celiacs to react poorly to salt?
I've just recently been told I'm gluten intolerant, and I'm only on my 13th day of a gluten-free diet. I wonder when I'll start to feel really good? I've so far been experiencing...
Hi, I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone else has water retention or edema as a part of their celiac disease or gluten intolerance? My primary complaint is puffy eyelids and puffy fingers in the morning. Am I alone in this? Perhaps it's not even related to my gluten intolerance? Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks for any help/advise you can...
