  1. When I overeat, I get a reaction as well. It does not last as long as a gluten reaction, and is not exactly the same, but still painful. My doctor told me a long time ago that, since there is so much damage done to my stomach, it will take a while before I'm able to eat large amount of food again. He actually advised me to eat several tiny meals a day, as...
  2. [EDIT: Just realized you only needed one. Oh well. Maybe it'll still do some good . Haha.] 1. How long did it take for you to realize you had the disease? How were you diagnosed? I self-diagnosed myself long before I did the tests. Everything fit, and not eating gluten made me feel a hundred times better. Eating even a little would make me sick...
  3. The smell of most gluten-filled foods (if they're obvious) turns my stomach now. I don't get a reaction, but I just feel a bit nauseous. It's just my mind reminding me of how sick I get when I eat it, haha.
  4. For as long as I can remember, my periods have been irregular. They are extremely heavy, and usually come every 2 and a 1/2 weeks as opposed to once a month. I also get horribly bad pains. In one instance that I remember quite clearly, I was rolling around on my bed crying my eyes out for an entire 12 hours, because the pain was so bad that I was vomitting...
  5. Whenever I eat gluten, even in the tiniest amount, I get: -Extreme abdominal swelling and bloating. -Gas. -Constipation. -Ache-y joints. -Sharp pains in my back. -Pains in my stomach. -EXTREME fatigue. (I have to drag myself across the floor, and it takes everything I have to walk a few feet.) -Trouble breathing at times. (Maybe because...
  6. When I cut gluten out of my diet, I lost 14 pounds in two weeks, and it continued from there. I was never a big girl, but I had bloat weight on my tummy. Now I'm becoming toned and a healthy weight. But the weight loss is very noticeable. Before I went gluten-free, I excercised constantly, but it was barely noticeable. Now, it makes a difference. I...
  7. LOL! This actually reminds me of what my friends sounded like when I told them I had celiac .
  8. So, I ate M & Ms yesterday, and I had a horrible reaction. I know that the M & Ms are gluten free, but I think they may have been cross-contaminated. Another possibility, though, is that, since I've only been on the Gluten-free diet for a short period of time, my body may still be sensitive to that kind of food. I'm also lactose intolerant, but this...
  9. I'm from Newfoundland, Haha.
  10. I'm from Canada. .
  11. Hey guys! I'm 18 years old, and I'm starting university in September. My doctor has unofficially diagnosed me with Celiac Disease, and I am waiting for my results to come back to make it definite. I've been living gluten-free for about 6 months, except for the period when I had to eat it to make my blood test accurate. (The first blood test I had came back...
