    Hi, I've noticed that I feel worse after eating a product that's labelled as suitable for celiacs (doesn't say it's gluten free). I've started to feel a bit better since ceasing to eat it, but is it even possible that I could have been affected? (the only ingredient listed that gives me concern is starch). I'm beginning to think I'm being overly sensitive...

    I think I'm probably at roughly the same sort of stage as you (healing). In retrospect I've been quite stupid, I went for years with bad health (nafld/constipation) but mistakenly assumed you had to have diarrhea. If I'd only known another symptom was the opposite problem with constipation I could have saved a lot of unnecessary pain. I'm still waiting...

    Thank-you Janet, that's a very good point. Hi riceguy........Mostly I'm on a paleo diet - organic chicken, broad beans, celery, fish, fruit - blueberry's, strawberries (I'm lactose intolerant so that's off limits). The only gluten free processed food is some corn pasta twice a week (maybe cut that out) and the odd biscuit (2 a day). Looking at the...

    Hi, I've been diagnosed with celiac disease (January 2009) and follow a strict gluten free diet, I didn't expect miracles and knew it would take time for the gut to repair itself but I feel ten times worse. I've also got thyroid problems that aren't showing up in blood tests (docs think it's autoimmune thyroiditis), what's thrown me is that my thyroid...

    Hi Youdah.....I could have written exactly the same thing. I went for 12 years with being told it was all in my head, there was nothing wrong and finally told it was Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but with no advice on how to overcome it. Looking back all the symptoms were there at the very beginning but I didn't put the pieces of the puzzzle together. ...

    Hi, I think this may sound a l little crazy....I've been diagnosed with celiac and started following a gluten free diet around 7 wks ago. I'm eating loads of fruit, vegaetable, brown rice and also cheap chicken breasts from a UK supermarket chain (sainsbury's), looking at the packaging it has no list of ingredients and I assumed it was 100% chicken. ...

    I'm at the same sort of stage as you Anthony and to put it politely feel crappy. I have to keep remembering that I've lived with this condition for years and it will take time to recover. I think in way it's now more frustrating because we know what's wrong, are doing everything right but haven't felt the rewards yet. Hopefully the rewards will come...

    Thank-you everyone for all your advice. Well, I've learnt an important lesson - I'm underweight and thought I could get away with gluten free flour based products and whole rice. Everything seemed OK for a couple of weeks until the last few days and I feel about as bad as I have done with gluten and lost more weight. I've got no idea why this has happened...

    Thanks for that Larry, I think I've just lost a bit of confience when it comes to what I ingest and what harm it can do. Stupidly I've spent yrs with ill health and only just been diagnosed (didn't fit the regular symptoms), I'm eager to make a recovery but worried I may make matters worse by not being patient. I guess, give it a go and hope for the...

    Hi.............Has anyone had any experience with L Glutamine? I've found a ntritional supplement from a UK company (Biocare) that suggests it can help speed up the recovery process. I've done a quick search on google and it seems to divide opinion. Many thanks, Hal

    Hi DL............Yep, I'm in the same sort of boat as you. I've only just been diagnosed after ten yrs of being told that there was nothing wrong with me, or it was chronic fatigue. Only when I was so ill (liver, thyroid, underweight) did I finally work it out. To be honest I'm more angry with myself, I had a feeling it was a gluten problem but assumed...

    Hi, I'm following a gluten free diet but still eating gluten free flour (corn/soya etc). I've heard that because the immune system is on high alert due to the gluten we should stay away from other grain based products until the immune systen has had a chance to heal. Does anyone know if this is the case or am I being a bit over the top? Many thanks...

    Hi everyone , I'm a new member to the forum and wondered if anyone could help me out with some advice? In retrospect I've had problems with gluten for many years, initially I was diagnosed with post viral syndrome (chronic fatigue syndrome), but gradually all the pieces have fallen into place I'm almost 100% sure that I have a gluten intolerance. ...
