It has been a few months now and I have been so careful. My darling hubby made me a home made gluten-free pizza (we thought) two nights ago and the morning after I ate it I had terrible tummy cramps the first half of the day and then had a headache for most of the rest of the day. We narrowed the culprit down to some gherkin relish he used, that had...

ARCHIVED Easy, Yummy Bread In Minutes
WideAwake replied to lonewolf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Please help I made the original recipe (not the one in the first post) and it was thick and eggy. I substituted buckwheat for the flax meal. It came out flat, quite chewy (not like bread) and definitely has an eggy taste. It's sort of like a really odd omelette LOL It is also very very dry - quite hard to swallow. Any ideas on what... -

ARCHIVED All Day Headache For The Last 4 Days - Withdrawal?
WideAwake replied to WideAwake's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Around the front of my forehead. Am thinking it may be caused by pollen as it is spring here. Maybe it is particularly bad this year (spring did start very early) -

ARCHIVED All Day Headache For The Last 4 Days - Withdrawal?
WideAwake replied to WideAwake's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If you can have one with no other symptoms LOL then it is possible. Last night I started improving thankfully, will see how I go today. I do know bright lights and loud noise did make it a bit worse. -

ARCHIVED Bran Muffin Troubles Pre-diagnosis?
WideAwake posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did anyone else have really bad times with bran muffins before diagnosis? For all of my adult life and part of my late teenager years I could NOT eat a bran muffin or I would have terrible "d" and a horrid stomach. Looking back now I wonder if it was gluten even way back then.... -

ARCHIVED All Day Headache For The Last 4 Days - Withdrawal?
WideAwake posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been off gluten for over a month now, and the anxiety and fatigue and mildish tummy problems cleared up overnight. However, for the past 4 days I have had an almost continuous headache. Not a really nasty one, just enough to let me know it is there. I am drinking enough water. I never get headaches, well very very rarely. Is it likely to be... -

WideAwake replied to leadmeastray88's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is interesting. I am self diagnosed and have felt a lot better off gluten for the past month and a bit. Normally I never have headaches, but I have been having oatmeal every morning the last 3 days to see how it goes, and each day I have had lingering dull headaches most of the day, which only started when I ate the bowl of oatmeal... Can you have... -

I can't remember him ever mentioning gluten or celiacs. I just stumbled across it when trying to cure Dyshidrotic Eczema. Someone had mentioned it could be related to gluten... and well here I am LOL I have been off gluten for over a month now, but less than two. -

No treatment, just blood tests every 3 months with my diabetes tests. I can definitely feel them, they feel huge to me of course. You can just see it on my neck (but I am ummmm not skinny LOL ) My doc could definitely feel them too, but my tests all seemed to come back fine. I did have an ultrasound, which showed I had quite a few nodules but none... -
ARCHIVED Anxiety Gone In Less Than 24 Hours?
WideAwake replied to WideAwake's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
What I mean by that is not even close to being celiac as far as damage goes? Maybe I caught it early? Saying that I was diagnosed with IBS when I was a teenager and have always been tired. used to fall asleep at work, which is why i work from home now - easy to catnap LOL -

WideAwake replied to WideAwake's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks for the welcome. Does this sound like I am only slightly gluten intolerant - the fact those two things cleared up so fast? -
I have been gluten free (self-diagnosed) for over a month now, but the biggest mental change I have noticed is that I no long have high anxiety. It cleared up overnight. Of course I still worry about some stuff like "normal" people do, but nothing like I did before. I was spending all day worrying about stuff that might not even happen. It was driving...

Yet another Cantabrian here, wondering where our winter has gone. I just joined this forum, have self diagnosed and am feeling so much better. When I was eating gluten I was perpetually tired, brain foggy and had very high anxiety (almost to a paranoia level). After suffering for months from Dyshidrotic Eczema I read about how someone went off gluten...
