Sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time. This site is full of wonderful, helpful, information. I would suggest trying to visit as often as possible and pick up knowledge a little at a time. The learning curve is quite high at first. I would say for myself, that this site has allowed me to get on the road to recovery. I try to learn something...

I found out about celiac disease from research online about gallbladder problems...which I was having. It seemed my whole gastro system was ill. I lost 26lbs in a few weeks and no longer wanted to eat. NOT GOOD. I found a web site of a kind lady from Canada who described her childhood indicators of celiac....short stature ...extremely thin as a child...many...

The possibility of new hair growth is such good news! After a DX of hypothyroid, I resigned myself to constant hair loss. I thought I would eventually have to go to the head scarf look. Not a bad choice all in all but the hair loss has troubled me for years. It is a sign of poor nutrition. Today, after being gluten-free for only six weeks, I can tell...

I agree, the learning curve for this is rather steep. I try to learn a little something each day. Af first I was overwhelmed! Also it seems that, as you heal you will be more sensitive to gluten and perhaps other foods. I started out with just getting rid of wheat and then found all sorts of other gluten in my kitchen and that I could not digest soy very...

But about ten days ago I started to feel a cloud of fatigue descend then two days ago I started with the gas and bloating and.....guess what, the loose stools where not far behind. I have looked for the cause and discovered that I had been making my husband toast is the same skillet...
