    Has anyone here suffered from foot pain that improved once going gluten free? What were your symptoms and how long did it take to improve?

    Welcome to the forum, Ben. Before you know it, you'll be posting like crazy. Are you seeking further medical advice? Not sure, but it sounds as though you may need to talk to someone who knows enough about Celiac and gluten-intolorance to really help you. Also, it really helped me when I went to the library and read books about Celiac and...

    Just wanted to say again: I am so glad you posted this! Now that my biopsy is over (still waiting for results), I'm eating gluten free again, and I am excited to see if it will help my sinus problems, too.

    This is going to be a long one . . . Thank you for posting this. Yes, I do, too. I just posted in another reply that when I am gluten-free, even a little gluten throws me to the moom. However, when having to force myself to eat gluten for a prolonged period of time . . . at the very end of all those weeks of my gluten challenge ...

    That happened to me. Before I realized I needed to be tested, I had a few true gluten-free weeks (where I finally learned about the hidden gluten in food) . . . but I still had a lot of learning to do, and I accidentally ingested gluten twice. Both times, my body exploded -- it was a much stronger reaction than I had had previously . . . and previously...

    How did your test go? Thank you for asking about mine. I had my endoscopy and biopsy on Monday and am still waiting on the results. I went gluten-free THE MINUTE the test was over and am feeling better all ready, psychologically as well as physically. I've never been so happy to leave a food behind. Good riddance!

    Jillian, thank you! I hope others with sinus infections will post their thoughs. I am so glad to know I am not alone.

    Even if I eat a small amount of low calorie, low fat food, if there's gluten in it, I feel bloated and I get the same feeling I get when I overeat -- similar to that "uh-oh, I feel like I'm putting on weight" feeling that I get when I blow it on a weight loss diet. Stuffy, hot, cranky, tired. Sometimes my nose runs. I will feel a slight heavy pressure...

    Now that I've been on a gluten challenge for over six weeks (prep for my celiac test), my symptoms have started to improve what's with this? I seem to be able to eat more gluten without getting as strong of a reaction. Is this common for some?

    Thank you, Jerseyangel! Here's a note for those reading this thread who may have to go through the same thing: Amazingly, the laxative has been fine -- no problems, and not really any changes (and they say I have a lot to clean out). Without the Immodium, it is knowing I need a bathroom close by if I eat gluten, but I haven't had any other...

    As I found out this morning, it is, it is, it is! That's why I was so tanked up on Immodium! I couldn't do the gluten challenge with out it, well, unless I wanted to carry a wardrobe with me everywhere! Thanks for the words of support.

    Hi, Everyone: I'm sure this has been posted here before, but as an update I'd like to tell you about my experience with planning a gluten-free Disney World vacation. My husband and I go to Disney in October. (I am the one who needs gluten-free.) I called for dining reservations 90 days prior, as is recommended, and I let the reservation desk know...

    Luv ya, Happygirl! Thanks for the support.

    From what I've learned, you absolutely MUST eat gluten for at least six weeks to get a proper diagnosis. I totally understand how you feel about not wanting to eat gluten. I've had to do it for the last six weeks so I can test, and it's not easy . . . but it is what it is. No fun, but necessary.

    Hi, Please help me get through the weekend? I go in for my endoscopy/biopsy on Monday. In the meantime, I am told my Deamidated Gliadin is high (86) but my antibody inflamation is low (less than 9). I spoke with the office to get the results, not the Doc., so I'm unsure how to interpret this. Might anyone offer some thoughts? In the meantime...

    You ROCK!!!!!

    Thank you so much for this post. I, too, didn't know about the flex spending option. I don't know if mine will cover it, but it's worth a check. This was an excellent article.

    The weight gain alone could be causing it. Adjusting to carrying around more weight can put stress on joints, back, etc. Vit. D deficiency -- he might want to ask to have this checked. I was seriously depleted of D and my joint pain was HORRIBLE. I also became very weak and tired. Note: Do not self-diagnose this one -- it is important to not take...

    Tobasco, You might enjoy reading Jillian Michael's Master Your Metabolism: The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot and Healthy Body. It addresses some of the issues you mention.

    Ravenwoodglass: Wonderful words of wisdom, as always, from you. You -- and so many others here -- are such a blessing to this forum. It makes me think that all your years of suffering were not completely in vain -- not sure if that counts as a silver lining or not, but for those you've gone on to help from all you learned in your hardships, it certainly...

    In my case, I have a horrible time losing weight when I eat gluten, and I have diarrhea as well as bowel incontenence. Just want to say thank you for all the posts here. I am going for my second opinion tests this week and I am actually living in fear of the tests coming back negative. I have horrible bowel incontenence and loose stools shortly after...

    I've since talked with others who have the same problem. We're sooooooo not alone. Problem is, we never want to talk about it, so it goes hidden. I'm so glad for the responses to this post. Thanks again.

    I found this: Open Original Shared Link You'll find a nice selection to get you started. Weber Grill is one of them -- it is indeed a wonderful restaurant. I haven't been there gluten-free yet, and I'm happy to see here that they're Celiac friendly.

    Thank you!
