    Back in 2012, I had an endoscopy and they found slight villi blunting as well as severe chronic gastritis. Gastro dr told me he didn't think I had Celiac but in his mind I had a sensitivity at least and suggested I go gluten free. But I had just beeb diagnosed with the Lupus which I was told was incurable, so that just took over and I went downhill in the...

    Hi Notme, I no longer drive truck, wish I could. I intend to go back to gluten free. I have been thinking about it for several months and I just needed something to give me the motivation to do it. The diagnosis, of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis the day before Thanksgiving did it. I wanted to wait until after the holidays and tommorrow is the first of the new year...

    I am supposed to have a check up in another 2 weeks to see how it's working. Dr. started me on a low dose of 25, then she will up to 75 and so on. Thanks for that link StephanieL, I will definitely check that out. And Molly, yes, I am lactose intolerant so that may explain it. Thanks everyone.

    I was put on Levothyroxin around Thanksgiving due to finding out I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I read somewhere that Levo has gluten in it. Does anyone know if that's correct. I have actually felt worse ever since taking it.

    Hi everyone, well, I guess i'm back with my tail between my legs. I left back several years ago because of several problems. Mainly I quit working because I got really sick. I nearly died. I was hospitalized with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. I already had Fibromyalgia. Anyway, the lupus was attacking my kidneys and dr. told me I needed to go on disability...

    Grrr, Kareng, That just kind irritated me just a bit more. The first 1 seemed to go a good way towards being Celiac and the second just blew it out of the water because it could be something else. But the 1 thing that sticks out is my immune system. Lupus, Connective Tissue Disease, Rynauds and other stems from immune problems plus gastro problems....

    Hi everyone, I use to be on here almost everday for a long time but the crazyness of not knowing if I had Celiac or not and my SO not believing it I went back to eating gluten after being gluten free for several years, loosing weight and feeling lots better. Well, since I been here I went back to being sick, gained back all the weight I had lost and have...

    Hi Kristen, I have had Chronic anemia all my life and I have been taking 325 mgs of iron 3 times a day and told to eat liver every night but I kept getting worse and worse. Finally went to a Nuerologist and she said I have Lupus on top of needing a blood transfusion. My GP Doc didn't think I needed anything else done because it was chronic. But I cant get...

    My Neuro diagnosed me after she checked to make sure I don't have Epilepsy and MS. She checked me for almost everything else.But it is Lupus for sure. But she said something that i'm confused about. She said I had a low positive ANA. I'm going tomorrow to get my paperwork. I am so Chronically anemic I need a transfusion. I cant get the transfusion until...

    Not just gluten but soy and dairy also causes me to have depression anywhere from 12 to 48 hours.
  12. txplowgirl
    It could be withdrawal or it could be an intolerance. A lot of secondary intolerances pop up when going gluten free. Dairy causes my sinus's to act up so bad my sinus's swell as well as the roof of my mouth swells and blisters pop up. When that happens I usually have about a week and a half of pure heck.

    I have a cousin who has a son who has all the signs of Celiac and is so allergic to MSG he has to carry an epipen with him. H'e like 12 now, and she would rather him have his epipen than try to avoid MSG let alone gluten.

    I have never been able to drink coffee. Always made me sick to my stomach, headaches and put me to sleep even the smell would nauseate me. What was interesting is cigarettes did the same thing. Found out a few years ago it was due to the tannins in the coffee and cigs. Didn't like the taste of cigs or coffee anyway so no biggie.

    Justaguy, I'm sorry to say but some people don't see an improvement until about 3 months in and for others not until a year or more. All you can do is just give it time and try not to rush.
  16. txplowgirl
    Thanks for that Kareng, but that dosen't quite help. Arrrgghh! I've been trying to find more info. Oh well, i'll just have to wait and see and i'll let everyone know how well it works for me.

    I ordered the nutribullet here a couple of evenings ago. Just wondering if anybody has tried it?

    Ex pres Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea. They seem to be embarassed about it though. Chelsea's wedding cake was gluten free when she got married.

    Just because it says gluten free dosen't mean it is. It still has trace gluten in it. Under 5 PPM. You may be supersensitive and reacting to that trace of it.

    Thanks everyone for the welcomes. I appreciate it. Yes, I ate for gluten a good 2 months before the bloodtests. 2 cheeseburgers a day for 2 months plus Macaronie and cheese. The more gluteny the better and it didn't work. Just felt like crap and visiting the bathroom a lot. And no, it wasn't a gluten free cake, but knowing how I would react I restricted...

    Hidy everbody, Well, i'm back, i've been gone awhile, a liitle over a year and I came back because i' m having some issues and i'm alittle ashamed because I knew better. Oh man, lets see if I can get all yall up to speed. Was a truck driver battling Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue and supersensitive gluten issues. Well, it got down to where...

    I was gluten free for over 2 and a half years then went back on gluten for tests. I was fine for about 2 weeks then everything started happening. From D to anxiety, stomach pains etc. It takes time for the antibodies to build up in your system and then you start getting sick again. You need to be eating gluten for at least 3 months and the equivelant of ...

    Bummer, the dr's office called late this afternoon with all of my results. Celiac negative, Lupus neg, Lyme neg, cortisol fine, thyroid neg. I had 15 different tests and every single one of them negative. All I wound up getting out of it was being put on Paxil and Nueronton for the pain and fatigue of my Fibro and Chronic fatigue. On top of that i've been...

    Well i'm 2 months in on my gluten challenge. I'm being tested on the 13th. If I don't have official Celiac, I know i'm at least gluten intolerant and no matter what the tests say i'm back to being gluten free. Almost everything that had resolved has just about come back. The nueropothy pain and tingling in the extremities, insomnia, restless legs, brain fog...

    I LOVE the books, have the whole series but I can't stand the movies. Just dosen't follow the storyline all that well for me. I know they can't fit everything from the books into the movies but I come away feeling dissatisfied. Oh well. Now, i'm getting into the Percy Jackson series and the Kane Chronicles. I'm an adult but I love these books.
