I just wanted to post to thank the large number of you that have posted replies and sent private messages. Your stories, questions, and support is very encouraging and much appreciated. I hope we'll keep hearing from people who've recovered in the future . . .

Thanks for this helpful if unpleasant news! Now I really don't know what to do. I have been gluten free for 3 months and I am just starting to see some real improvement. I can't bear thinking of getting sick again for 2 months + recovery after that. At the same time, I need to have these tests to know what's wrong with me for sure. I just had my first...

I have been gluten free for 3 months and I am still having symptoms. My GP has sent me for a biopsy to test for damage to the small intestine due to celiac. Does anyone know how long (if at all) I'll have to eat gluten again before I take the test? My GP does not seem to be aware that the tests can give a false negative if I've been gluten-free for some...

Hi everyone, Not to be too negative, but it's getting a bit depressing for me to keep reading about people who have been gluten-free for so many month and years and are still having symptoms and all sorts of other problems. Is there anyone out there who can say that they've had complete cessation of all their symptoms after going on a gluten-free diet...

I have this problem, too, and it is ruining my life!

Can I ask those of you (and anyone else) with this symptom who also thinks it is a sign of having been "glutened" to let me know how long after you get glutened it happens, and how many days the symptom lasts? This sounds obsessive, I know, and everyone is different. But I'm almost certain I'm not getting glutened; knowing other people's experience with...

This may sound strange but I wonder if anyone else has had the same symptom. I've been gluten-free for 6 weeks. About two weeks ago, I started getting the sensation of bubbles moving under my right rib and down the right side of my abdomen after eating, especially mid-day. Sometimes the bubbles are accompanied by an audible gurgling sound. Other times...

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my post. It's been a real up and down few days. I've never been so moody in my life. Thanks for the suggestion about the dog food. I don't eat dog food obviously (the only thing I know of that tastes like dog food is the gluten free bagels I've got) but I guess it's possible to get it on your hands, etc. I checked...

Hi everyone. I am male, 38 years old. I have not been formally diagnosed. About 6 years ago, I became a vegetarian and had a bad diet and ate bread at almost every meal. I was going through an incredibly stressful time, and I became very sick with a flu-like virus that kept me in bed for 3 weeks and I went on antibiotics. After that, I developed digestive...
