    Thanks for the post! I've been feeling awfully low as I recover, not all better and it's really wonderful to hear that you did finally feel better. I've been eating nuts, fruit and vebetables. Still off though...

    Has anyone had a problem or NOT had a problem with Standard Process's Zinc Liver Chelate? My nutritionist has me on it --but it has oat flour in it. I'm a little worried about it. But I KNOW I need the zinc.

    My mom has been a great help. And I also love to cook / bake and have made some scones, cookies, bean recipes that the whole family likes. Just...not everyone realises how important keeping gluten things segregated is; and they don't want to give up their comfort foods. It's scaring my dad, I think. And being this sick and 21 makes it impossible to ...

    Thank you! I needed the encouragement. My family also has a long list of autoimmune diseases on its hands. Do you mind if I ask how you got your doctor to diagnose? Mine has been less helpful as I had "inconclusive" bloodwork and was already gluten free...or trying to be due to symptoms. Again, thank you. I'm going re-read your post a few times...

    Has anyone good stories about how they're loved ones managaed? Or are any of you loved ones of celiacs and can tell me how you worked on coping with the disease? It's been terribly difficult for my family to figure it out--though my mother is wonderful. I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago...I got even more ill with parasites soon after and am twenty pounds...

    I've had the same problem. I was...am, twenty pounds underweight at best--I've done a lot of nut butters and nuts (like Mama above) it's helped me gain a little.

    I had the same symptom for more than a week or three after going gluten-free--I think it was a combination of gluten withdrawal, the fact that I was still eating grains and that my gut is likely a bit leaky in its healing process. It went away finally. What really helped me was eating mostly fruits and vegetables for a while. A little bit of soy seemed...

    I've done a ton of slippery elm and marshmallow--and they've both been soothing. I can't speak for how well they keep you regulated as far as crap because I have parasites I'm fighting right now too. But they've been great for healing; less pain; less bloating, I think.
  10. mellowyellowmushroom
    That was EXTRAORDINARILY helpful. Thanks! It parallels some of my experience, though I went the other way and had a ton of parasite stuff show up as I seemed to begin to heal. How long did it take you? I've been starving because with parasites and celiac, I weighed barely 94 lbs at 5'7" a week or two ago. But I can't eat normally or a lot without pain...

    No one else? In the healing /detoxing process?

    You can go to an ordinary medical doctor and request that they take stool and urine samples; blood samples as well. Mine showed up in a blood test. But I also had enough symptoms to make it fairly obvious. It can be hard to get someone in the mainstream med. community to take parasites seriously. But then, it's hard to get them to diagnose celiac often...

    Hmm. It isn't letting me, either. I'll mess around with my settings to see if I've blocked messages. You can just e-mail me at jess_clawson@yahoo.com if you want!

    Oy, that makes a lot of sense. I have parasites and I certainly had gluten "withdrawal" and I'm going through a bloody hell of a die-off / detox weeks into my gluten-free-ing it. I wish it WEREN'T true. It's not fun. But it's a good hypothesis for the way people react, me included.
  16. mellowyellowmushroom
    I guess being gluten-ed to heck and back weakened my immune system--I'm full of parasites too. Has anyone else gone through that? I was just thinking I felt better as I got through a few weeks free of all gluten, and then I started getting more GI symptoms and I've PARASITES. What to do? Or I'd love just to hear if anyone else has gone through this...
  17. mellowyellowmushroom
    Thanks. My system needs carbs as I'm an athlete--so I hope it needn't be limited much forever. Anyone else though who ran into other bad allergies? or who felt highly sensitive on first few weeks/months sans gluten?
  18. mellowyellowmushroom
    I just went gluten-free after diagnosis. How strict to all of you or any of you have to be about what foods you ate while healing? I seem to be having mild reactions to most complex carbs, maybe some fruits...and I'm worried. Though I haven't had any gluten explosion since I ate cookies last week before the diagnosis. Did any of you develop food allergies...
  19. mellowyellowmushroom
    Thanks both of you! Yeah, I just went off gluten last week entirely. I suppose it has to be individual; I'm just not very patient. The overexercising tip is a good one, thanks; I'm sure I probably have. FMcGee : Did you / have you gotten joint or knee problems? (how long off gluten...?) My left leg started killing me when I had to eat a lot of wheat...
  20. mellowyellowmushroom
    Hey... I'm insanely athletic; I ran every day, even on gluten--in fact, got a high from it and felt so anxious I was nearly wearing myself into a rag when I was really ill (rather a long story). But is there anyone else here who is or was an athlete, went off gluten, and had the detox leave them drained? I feel better...but so weary. Like I need to...
  21. mellowyellowmushroom
    Wow. Thank you both so much--just your personal stories are encouraging. I've been eating less and less for a year since it seemed like everything made me ill and I never knew what it was. I just started TRYING to eat and, ironies of ironies, my mom bakes really brilliant "Trail Mix" cookies that have lots of complex carbs, good protein and fats from nuts...
  22. mellowyellowmushroom
    I've just gotten a probable-celiac diagnoses (waiting on blood results and how I do off ofgluten...); but how many other people have had their hair fall out? And long before they got all or more serious symptoms? I had my hair start falling out FOUR years ago, and it's been downhill health from there. (On top of that, I was in "great" health. I could...
