Stress can DEFINITELY cause symptoms to flare up. I hadn't eaten anything containing gluten but my stomach was KILLING me. Then I realized it was because the boss of my company was coming in for a visit and I was nervous. The whole week before he showed up my stomach was killing me. Once he was gone I was back to normal.

I have a question for the people writing about having swollen intestines. For about 5 months I have a part of my intestine that rises up out of my stomach, only when I lay down at night. I went to the dr thinking it was a hernia but they said it wouldn't come out when you lay down, it would fall back into place if it was a hernia. They sent me for a CAT scan...

I'm newly diagnosed and I know they say Celiacs don't absorb vitamins from food, but I'm wondering if that doesn't also apply to actual vitamins?

This forum has been so helpful since I found out. I'm still...

I was just reading a list of gluten-free medicines and my pill was on it, Aviane. Like the previous posters said, you should ask your doctor. Good Luck!

I am also new to all this, having just been diagnosed last week. I was wondering the same thing about makeup and shampoo as I see on the forums a lot of people talking about using special products. Is it because it is absorbed or do some celiac's have a skin reaction? Thanks!
