Hi LM, Thanks for replying! As for drama queen, I enjoyed your post, and it is so true! Not sure what happened to me, gluten ingestion, or something else, but I was up till 5:00 am with severe stomach pains, I almost went to the ER! But at 5, when they subsided, I was able to fall asleep. No pain now, but totally drained! As for your wife and daughter...

I have been gluten free for about a month, probably only strictly, without mistakes, 2 weeks. Today, I cleaned out a cabinet, with all gluten foods, flour, crackers, snacks, and cereal. Washed it to keep my new gluten free food in, now I am not feeling well at all, could touching the boxes, and cleaning the shelf (had a bit of spilled flour) cause a reaction...

Hello all! First I'd like to say what a comfort this board has been to me, since being sick! Thanks to you all for sharing your knowledge, and helping newbies! I've been sick for several months, trying to self-diagnose, no insurance! Symptoms led me to IBS, Crohns, Colitis, and finally Celiac. I had always eaten a lot of wheat, breads, cereals...

Hi gluten-free in DC, Thank you for the info, I will give them a try! Since being gluten free, about a month, I feel much better, but not great. I've given up dairy, and am starting a diary of foods that I eat, don't know if it what I am eating, or just part of healing. I am very tired, and my stomach is still not quite right, still bloated and lots...

Hi gluten-free in DC, Thank you for sharing your insight! Do you take these products on a daily basis? The DPP-iv, do you take that just in case of glutening, as a precautionary measure, or when you know you have eaten gluten?

I do hope the bloating lessens eventually! I will check at my GNC to see if it is feasible to take probiotics, and digestive enzymes at the same time! Thanks for all replies!

HI gluten-free in DC, Thanks for responding! Well, I haven't been gluten free for that long, only about a month, with mistakes! I'm starting to keep a diary of what I eat, so if I do make mistakes, I can backtrack! I think dairy is a problem also! So that's on the no list for now! Just been eating rice and chicken for a while, till my stomach calms...

Thank you so much for sharing your insight! Yeah, I know the prego thing, all too well! I do buy all jeans, and slack that have a stretch to them, but it doesn't seem good enough! I noticed the jeans that don't sit right at the waist, a bit lower seem more comfortable! I thought it was a short term thing, but I guess I'll have to start buying larger...

Hi Salax, Thank you for replying! Yes, these symptoms are strange! You're right, the pants fit fine, it's when I sit down! I am wearing extra large sweat pants, for now, but will the bloating, ever go completely away?

Hello, I am very new to this, so I am not sure about all of the symptoms, but I know stomach bloating is a definite symptom, but I have not heard of the leg swelling being a symptom. Maybe others here will have more info for you!

Why do you say that, IBS, which I think I have also? Is the tight clothing syndrome more prevalent with IBS, than Celiac?

Thank you both for replying! So many strange symptoms, I hate to blame everything on Celiac! I am a fairly new Celiac, and this board has been invaluable to me! Though I just started posting, I have been reading it for a while! Thank you to everyone who answers questions, and posts information for us newbies!

Hello, I have been gluten free, except for a few mistakes, (vitamins) for about a month, feel a little better each day. The brain fog is gone for the most part! Still cramping occasionally, mostly at night, still eliminating things from my diet, that seem hard to digest, dairy, some nuts. But no matter how good I seem to feel, when I get dressed, with...
