    Hi Yes I have taken supplements like calcium/magnesium and B. Vitamins for years although I have only just started taking the sublingual B12 in the last week, so perhaps when that really gets into my system I might get some releif. I did have very bad experiences when I was a child about being and feeling safe and lots of other issues. I suffered with...

    For years since I have been ill I have suffered with severe anxiety. Although I have been gluten free for 3 months it doesn't seem to have gone down and it has got to the stage when I cannot make plans even to go on holiday abroad or in this country with my family because I just go into complete panic mode. My daughter and my husband are planning to go...

    Hi Ohsotired. I cannot help you with the thyroid issue but some years ago was on Cortisone for a year and weaned myself off it by taking Pantothenic Acid and Borage oil. Both of these feed the Adrenals and I am still on them now.

    Sorry pressing all the wrong buttons today. In answer to your inquiry about what I can and cant tolerate. Garlic and onions upset me make me have a bad head really bad with pain on the one side and I feel like I am hung over for a couple of days. Coconut oil has the same affect. Soy makes me feel tired, Maize upsets my stomach, haven't really noticed...

    Just want to thank you for your replies, this website is fantastic and so many of you are there for support. I am finding each day foods that are telling my body or my body telling me that they dont still like the foods I am putting into it. Like yesterday I went out shoppping and bought a "natural" fruit drink with no additives unfortunately after having...

    Hi everyone, I read all your imput and sometimes I wonder if anyone recovers from this illness. I have been gluten free /dairy/soya/nightshades now for 3 months and apart from the swelling going down in my feet I really cant say that I have any other improvement. My shaking doesn't seem to improve one bit and this I find is one of the most frustrating...

    Hi everyone, just reading your reply's makes me feel what a long road to recovery this is. I have been gluten free for 2 months and 2 weeks and counting! It seems that everyday I become more intolerant of everything that I eat. I cannot have any sugar as it makes me feel crap and during this last week I made a healthy gluten free meal with lamb...

    Thanks for all your replies which I am taking on board. The blood vessal blood is on the white of the eye and is now beginning to clear. I have always had low blood pressure and whenever it is taken at the docs it is low but I think sometimes it can suddenly shoot up although I have no proof of this. My eyes have been badly affected by this gluten...

    Its okay I'm not going mad but am thinking about what I am eating everyday while I am looking at other peoples problems and one thing that I have increased by having practically every day or every other day and that is baked Red Potatoes (potassium) is this lowering my blood pressure and causing the problems? I think the first couple of weeks when I...

    Hi everyone well here's another puzzle to get your heads round. I am one of the "newbys" have been gluten, Dairy, Soya and Nightshade free for 2 months. Up until the weekend I have been coping but then on Sunday morning I woke up with a burst blood vestle in my eye which has gone on to become dry eyes in both eyes and then to top it all Tinnitus,...

    Yes I think it is to hell with the doctors. Went yesterday to see my consultant for a check up about my hip arthritis and bursitis and told him how much better it felt with going on the gluten free and he replied " well it is common knowledge that arthritis does improve in the summer" The ignorance is just unimaginable with these people and some of them...

    I've only been on the diet 2 months and have ME/Chronic fatigue for 25years, joint pains before I started the diet were getting worse but I knew even before going on the diet that if I had any milk products or any of the Nightshade family ie:- tomatoes, white potatoes, peppars, aubergines etc this usually really upset me and made my joints ten times worse...

    Have you tried cutting out Nightshade food such as Tomatoes, Peppars, white potatoes, aubergines etc, I find that these cause me joint pains, also all grains can have a bad effect such as maize. What about your calcium levels, do you take any supplements, you dont say how old you are. If you are starting the menopause you could need some extra natural hormones
  15. Jackpru
    Yes you are right. When I used to live at home with my parents, my mother who had Rheumatoid Arthritis and also bowel problems probably celiac, she never ever got ill with any colds virus or anything, not even the flu when everyone else in the house caught it. My experience is this I went on the gluten free diet 2 months ago, the first week I felt really...
