I dont see the hair coming out as much any more ...gluten-free since Feb04 ..... but its also not growing back Thankfully I had thick hair to start with.

Shayladad.... was the little girls diarrhea a frothy consistancy? if so I would have to say look at the casein foods ..... with it being foul-smelling and usually not happening for a few hours sounds a lot like how I react to casein. so just a thought but also sounds like your in a tough spot with her diet...... so good luck hope you find what is causing...

I used to be on pain meds daily for my back and hip pain..... since going gluten-free have been able to use the meds on a PRN basis. I noticed that when I had an accident with something I shouldnt have eaten the back pain was back. My Dr thinks its the reaction in my intestines causing the pain. I would run it by your Dr and get their advice. Pain can indicate...

My Grandfather died from colon cancer , my father had had polyps removed , and one of my brothers has had them removed, both did not show cancer. My other siblings we all tested as was I ( the only one with confirmed celiac disease ) and none of us had any polyps. They tend to run in families. As someone with celiac disease we do have a higher risk of developing...

B4 going gluten-free I had joint pain that led my dr to Dx me with Fibro and put me on pain meds for almost 3 years. Now that I've been on the diet I'm off the meds and the pain is under control its not gone 100% but then like Deb im getting old and that could bet more the problem then anything. At leats now I dont feel like im ready for a wheel chair

I agree with Deb , the diet wont hurt you but you have to be strict or you wont know if it is helping you. You may also want to do the genetic testing if you think that you have to know 100% . For me my blood test was positive and the diet made such a difference I didnt see a need for the other tests. Just an added note .... when I started the diet I went...

I had nausea all the time as well. I used to tell people it was like having the flu everyday for months. Been gluten-free since Feb04 and I can at least say that I dont feel like I have the flu everyday now. Still have the fatigue issue but hope that will get better soon
