Many of us have other things in combination with celiac. Overstressing the body could perhaps cause a flareup of something else. For me over doing physical activity or getting overtired can cause my fibro and/or arthritis to flare but it doesn't cause the GI and neuro symptoms that I get with a glutening. Perhaps that is what is going on.

I do know my body does not handle stress very well at all after I developed celiac. And it was stress that woke up my celiac to begin with.

Can you tell me what kind of symptoms you're talking about?

How can I put this with out it sounding gross. After the second week of working out, I had diarrhea for several days, my intestines seemed aggravated the pain was horrible, constant discomfort and bloating not to mention my abs hurt really bad. I finally stopped working out after that and it all went away. I am assuming no one else had this happen to them.

Do you mean that when you do those things, you feel the symptoms you get when glutened?

Yes, for example I went back to working out three times out of the week for two weeks. Next thing I know I was sick just as if I was having a gluten reaction. I do know that stress can set off celiac to act up. So, I am wondering if from working out may have stressed my body and caused my celiac to act up or maybe I am just paranoid and wanted to know if any one else had experienced this.

For example, working out, biking, jogging or even mowing the lawn cause your celiac to go hay wire?

It sucks, I know, lol. New things will pop up, but I have found that over time it will all diminish. It took me 4 months but am better under control with reactions to foods. I am sure it will turn that way for you too. Just patience, it takes time and yes it is a hard road.

Thank you all for for your comments and advise! I am gonna have to mentally take it step by step in learning to now deal with this. Just glad to know I am not alone on this matter.

I have been dealing with celiac disease since Feb, I beleive. It was hard to deal with for sometime, but I have managed to accept it. NOW the crazy thing is I can NOT tolerate garlic, onions and olive oil right up there with tomatoes! I use olive oil in every thing I make. It is very, very difficult for my self and my family. Can any one please recommend what can I add in it's place?? I am Italian so it is or was in everything I ate. And does any one know when I could be able to tolerate it again? This is something that just popped up two weeks ago and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. Does stress seem to play a factor in it or is it because of the celiac disease any thing could arise with no need for explanation?

Thanks ahead of time.

Everything you describe sure sound like celiac disease. You need to have your self tested for it. Since your grandmother was diagnosed with it then chances are you have it as well. The only way to get celiac disease is if it runs in the family. Best of luck.

I am not sure if it is because my time of the month is due and it has or even can set off my c.d. but I have not been my self the past week. I was fine before hand. Besides the sick stomach from nausea, I have been dealing with severe bloating, painful stomach cramps and contstantly running to the bathroom. I have also been dealing with real bad acid reflux. Olive oil, chicken seem to not like me right now and I don't know if it is because my period is due this Friday. I have never had a prob with chicken or olive oil. I had stopped taking my vitamins for a while and started back on them two days ago and that through my digestive tack over the edge withevery thing else that has been going on. I feel most better when I don't eat anything, but I'm gonna have to eat any ways.

Welcome to the board!

I have read pregnancy can trigger celiac disease, so it sounds like in your case that is what has happened. Glad you feel better now.

I know what you mean. After I diagnosed my self with celiac disease I noticed I was having an upset stomach after drinking caff. coffee. It made me want to vomit. Haven't touched it since. I thought it was all in my head so I am relieved to read that it wasnt, lol.

Hi Jackie,

I have never heard of any one needing to go on disability because of celiac disease. The court system can be very tough and will most likely not have any one suffering from celiac disease get disability. They will find other solutions, but the chances are very, very slim. We are fighting to get my father on disability because he suffers from dementia and they are even being difficult about that!

Boy, do I understand your frustration! ...I never had any allergies till I became lactose intolerant in 2007, which if any one is you usually get c.d.. now I can't eat any shell fish, drink caffine coffee, or eat acidic foods and eat meat or fatty foods, for ex.greasy chips.which I miss, they had the best flavoring. I'm waiting to see if any other "food allergies" will pop up. I am so hoping NOT. It's not easy at all as I am sure you understand.

If I can add, chills may be knocked out if you eat some protien an hour before going to bed, depending when you go to bed. Like chicken, bannanas. I found this to be most helpful when I was getting chills, which is not uncommon with people who have c.d.

I am having a hard time losing the weight I have gained since having celiac disease. Some advise I may be able to give is to not eat after 8pm. Eat more filling foods that are not necassarily high in carbs, such as salads with tofu, very good and it holds me over, grilled chicken veggies and of course fruits. You may even want to see a nutrionist. Don't be afraid to talk to people who work at the grocery store. I have found them to be most helpful and most have nutrionists on hand, like whole foods market:)

I am the same way. Seems to be a lot more of my ummm situation when had gone to the bathroom. Your b.m will never be like it was when you did eat wheat. I have learned that. It sure does not sound like a contamination issue at all.

Well first off I want to say you do sound like you are putting up with a lot there. I am no doctor but some of the symptoms you explain I had with celiac disease. I didn't even have a doctor diagnose me, I did so my self. I have been on B12 and magnisium and calcium, multivitamin and removed all wheat from my diet and I am all better now. The horrbile symptoms went away. OR you could be dealing with Chrons disease. I would talk to your doctor about both because it could be either or.

Hi there!

I think for good measure you probably should. All the nonsese you are putting up with, it wouldn't hurt to do so. celiac disease symptoms gets confuced with ibs all the time.

Ooo thank you. I am going to book mark the link.

I had the same similar probs.No appetite, constant joint pain I also felt like some one was pressing down on my rib cage stopping me from taking full deep breaths, etc. All classic signs of celiac disease. Are you taking any vitamins? Get on calcium and magnisium vitamins as well as b12 and multi vitamin. As soon as I started taking those vitamins I felt 100% better. Also, for good measure I would recommend seeing a doctor, just to be on the safe side.

I have been having nite-mares more often than I normaly do. And they are so vivid that when I wake up I am seriously bothered by them. I have been blaming it on some of the food I have eaten just before I go to bed. Before celiac disease I don't recall having such disturbing dreams. So, you are not alone in this. I have recently been listening to calming music before I go to bed and prayer to help ease my mind.

Hi, I have a quite large amount of the symptoms of celiac disease, but I don't want to go to the doctor unless there could be a real chance I have it (they think I'm a hypochondriac because during my teen years I had asthma problems which they told me I was faking/not taking my drugs - until I was sent to hospital and those doctors found out I DID have something very wrong with my lungs).

The syptoms I have are very bad stomach pains (usually after I eat - sometimes its so bad I won't eat for a day, at the end of which I feel a lot better). I flit from having constipation, then diarrhea, and bloat. I feel very tired a lot of the time (not related to the days I can't eat!), and get mouth ulcers very regularly.

I know that there are diabetes and thyroid problems in my family (diabetes is more distant, my mother has thyroid problems, also her father died of bowel cancer at a young age, along with his sister.), along with other autoimmune diseases - asthma which is very common in my family.

Am I being a hypochondriac?

I'm thinking of having a trial gluten-free diet, to see how I feel. What do you think with the symptoms?

You have alot going on there through genetics. I can't tell you if it is celiac disease or any thing else. Only a prof. like a doctor can tell you that. And that would have to be done through tests. Sorry I can't be of more help though.

I very much love my Lord. I even sing for Him in my church choir.

Lactose intolerance is hereditary, I got mine from my aunt. My symptoms were vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, body chills. Basically I felt like I had the body flu for 2 weeks before I realized what it was. Some people get eczema, or rashes. I have been on soy milk for almost a year now and feel great. Soy milk has even improved my eye sight.

I can't get mad because they are not in my shoes. The haven't been through the pain and discomfort I have been through. So, they can take their "story" and shove it.
