    This is just my theory to hip/leg pain in celiac's and others. #1 In Chinese medicine, the IT band/hip area is part of the meridian that is liked to the digestive system. (liver, stomach, spleen, gallbladder, intestines) When that area gets "sticky" i.e. glutenized, blocked, imbalanced, one feels the pain in the hip, IT band, low back, joints. The...

    I concur with the extra supplements. make sure the b12 is sublingual and that you are getting enough sunshine! You need vitamin D and K.

    I had the opposite. Hit puberty early, grew very fast and tall, have had terrible periods my whole life which I started early. My periods were heavy and horrible and I have PMDD. I figured out that the lack of vitamins made my period worse. Always had slow clotting, too. Celiacs can mess with hormones causing under or over activity. Slowly my periods...

    My allergist, a very prominent allergist in San Francisco didn't help me at all, except to give me more meds.

    I became very ill and could not work. My disability ran out, I went through my savings, was having problems getting any social services or SS. I had to get food from the food bank.(No, the food banks don't care about your food allergies, you're lucky to get what you get.) At this time I only knew about my soy allergy. I often didn't care and just ate food...

    It would be a good idea to read a few books on Celiac's. There's more to it than just not eating gluten. 1 week or even 1 months gluten free may not exhibit any improvements, for some people it does. It took 2 1/2 months before I felt real improvements. It can take up to 1-2 years for the intestines to fully heal. I've seen quite a few doctors and specialists...

    In answering this question for myself, I would just want have"proof" to give to all my family and friends that I'm not a hypochondriac and I really am sick. All those years of problems aren't just because I'm crazy or too sensitive. The doctor only gave me 1 blood test. I started a gluten free diet then went back on gluten for 2 weeks before taking that...

    This is very helpful to me as well. I accidentally ate gluten on the 24th and was in severe pain the next day. (Why there was SOY SAUCE in hummus, I'll never know) I've been pretty depressed and anxiety ridden ever since. I didn't realize it was because of the gluten. I also started taking apple cider vinegar which cleared out my sinuses and is helping with...

    In addition to gluten withdrawal and gluten ingestion, eating too many high glycemic foods can make you "crash" and get irritable. It is common to turn to high glycemic foods when transitioning to gluten-free. I made the same mistake. The book Living Gluten Free for Dummies goes over this on pages 94-109.

    It is a potassium deficiency that is causing the leg cramps and can also cause nosebleeds. I eat bananas, gluten free multivitamin, and EmercgenC to replace the potassium. Sometimes I'll have 2-3 bananas a day. I have been gluten free for 2 months and now my leg cramps are better, not completely gone, but better.
