    Hi guys! Im in my second week of being gluten free and have already had some set-backs! :-( I noticed in the shower this morning that both my shampoo and conditioner contain a whole bunch of different 'wheat' ingredients. One ingredient is even listed as 'Wheat Protein'. Should I be buying new shampoo and conditioner? I went and checked all mother...

    Hmm, I didnt think about that, I'll check to see what ingredients are in my lotions and body washes, I may have to switch. Thanks! :-) Im feeling much better today, Im a little fatigued and have a headache (thats normal for me) but my tummy feels heaps better! I realise everyone is going to react differently, I guess I just have to wait and see...

    Hi Guys! Im new to the gluten-free diet - Ive only been gluten-free for 4 days now. The first few days I was feeling a little better, I didnt have any nausea or tummy aches after eating but last night my mother-in-law-to-be made me a dessert which I though was gluten-free, after eating it, she tells me there is some wheat in it!! Because im...

    Hi everyone! Last week I had blood tests done for Celiac, Tyroid & a bunch of other things. To my dissapointment all the tests came back negative/normal. The only thing that showed up was a low iron count...indication that I could be anemic. This would explain why I am so tired all the time but it doenst really explain all the other symptoms I...

    Hi! Thanks for responding! I know, its so frustrating! Every doctor I have seen in the past has just told me to eat more fibre and drink more water!! The last doctor I saw diagnosed me with over active thyroid (a known side-effect of celiac) but refused to test me for celiac because I dont get a lot of diarrhea (im constipation 90% of the time)! He...

    Hi Guys! I havent been diagnosed with celiac yet (mostly because my previous doctor was an uninformed, arrogant wanker! - im getting a second opinion this week) but im pretty sure that I have it - the more i research, the more im convinced. I suffer from daily constipation (with bouts of diarrhea), bloating, cramping, headaches, foggy brain, fatigue...

    This sounds a lot like me! I havent been diagnosed with celiac yet but the more research I do, the more im convinced that thats whats wrong with me! (ive been fighting with my doctor to get tested and am getting a second opinion this week!) Ive always had problems with constipation and lactose but over the last few year my symptoms have been getting...

    Cathy, That is just how I feel. I dont like calling it depression either - I havent been diagnosed with it. I do have hope for the future, I do want to live but I just have my 'blue days'...or 'blue weeks'. It just feels like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and like you, some days I feel very disconected from my life. Im really...

    Hi guys! Im new to celiac and have not been formally diagnosed yet. In fact, im having trouble getting my doctor to listen to me (he thinks I have IBS and is refusing to test me for celiac!!) Im off to see a specialist (soon I hope!!) Anyway, im pretty sure I have celiac...I suffer from: constipation/diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, cramping, bloating...

    Hmm, sounds to me like your room mates dont really understand your condition. I had the same trouble with my room mate...we've been living together for years (about 6 years all up) and we used to always cook our meals together but a while back I switched to a lactose free diet (believing I had IBS and dairy was my trigger) and that was really hard, she...

    Yeah, ive also found that my symptoms fluctuate. Over the last few months ive been back and forth to the doctor trying to work out whats wrong...(I havent been formally diagnosed with Celiac but im sure its whats wrong with me!) I had terrible bouts of constipation (a problem for the last 7 years!), fatigue, headaches, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, cramping...

    Thankyou all so much for responding to me! Its encouraging to know im not alone in all of this! The more I talk to people the more im convinced IBS isnt my problem and that my doctor is wrong! Im seeking a second opinion - hopefully i'll be able to find a doctor who will listen to me! Thanks again for the encourangment, advice, opinions.....

    Thanks for responding guys! Im actually in Australia...so cant get to New York unfortuntley! :-) But, im having exactly the same trouble as you! I went to see my doctor today and he told me that I couldnt possible have Celiac becasue I dont have rampant diarrhea and im not losing weight! Im so frustrated! He wont even test me for it! He thinks...

    Hi guys! Im new to this forum and don't really know that much about Coeliac! A little bit about me: Christmas last year I was diagnosed with an over-active thyroid, which I had re-tested in Feb 08 and I was apparently fine. Then my doctor diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome, told me to eat more fibre and he put me on a stool softner. That was...
