    I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 8 years before Celiac's and since going gluten free, most of my symptoms have gone away. I've always had troubles with my stomach reacting to medications so I haven't tried Savella. I've noticed that I'm more sensitive to gluten now and if I get glutened, I will be in so much pain.

    You sound a lot like how I was. I'm 5'2" and used to weigh 140+ even with working out and not eating many calories. Now I'm usually around 125 without trying. Even though I'm not skinny, my body seems to like being this weight. If your doctors don't take you seriously, find a celiac specialist who will. I took the celiac test after being gluten free...

    Thank you. I am going to look for one on my way home. I have an 8 hour drive through some big cities. I am craving pizza so bad. I also found online that there is a gluten free pizza place that I'll be driving by. I am so looking forward to stopping there.

    I totally laughed out loud on this. Stray people at the gym would always ask when my baby was due or if I had just had it. I worked so hard on excercising and eating healthy (what I believed at the time) but my stomach always stuck out. Once my gut started healing, my waistline shrank and I look normal now. Even though I have to watch everything that I eat...

    Yes, this sounds exactly like what I used to go through all the time before I quit eating gluten. If you read through many of the other celiac symptoms, see if you may be experiencing other things that seemed totally unrelated to gut issues. I totally agree with this and I'm glad that you are taking this seriously and getting the tests done imeadiately...

    Thank you so much. I guess chapstick is one of the most important products to check out the ingredients. It's become a lot easier for me to figure out what makes me sick now that my body has healed so much.

    Wow, Yum! I'm salivating now. I'm going to try both of these recipes. Where do you find a pizza stone? & what is it exactly? Does it make a big difference?

    Thank you Gemini, So I wonder if I don't have a topical wheat allergy, then is it ok to use regular lotions, etc again? Although a couple weeks ago I was transplanting some grasses and my forearms broke out in a mild rash that was gone by the next day. It wasn't like DH at all though. Blue eyed vegan, I'm glad your depression is going away. Mine did...

    There is a gluten free pizza dough mix by Bob's Red Mill. I had a heck of a time flattening it out because it was so sticky. Even though it was lumpy, it tasted so good I actually ate until I couldn't eat anymore. My boyfriend knows how to make a real pizza crust so he's going to help me make another one. He said that we could use some gluten-free flour on...

    To me, it sounds more like DH, but I am not an expert on any of this. My DH has always been more like acne/cysts on my arms and sometimes blisters with itching. I've had it as long as I can remember, until I quit eating gluten. It always comes back with even the slightest bit of gluten. I have 2 other celiac friends who's DH looks totally different: one...

    I had lost most of my hair one time in high school and the hospital said that I was severly vitamin deficient. My hair grew back but has had periods where it started thinning again. Now, 28 years later & gluten free, my hair is healthy and my nails have gotten much stronger too. I guess that I should start paying closer attention to my shampoo too. ...

    I used to work in a "beer bar" with rotating kegs from micro-breweries until I got diagnosed. I started craving beer really bad after quitting, even though I never drank very much. I would occasionally have a glass of red wine but it's just not the same when the weather is over 100 degrees. I've been working in Yosemite this year and after talking to the...

    I had stopped eating gluten for a couple of months and felt amazingly better when I took the blood test, which of course came out negative. The doctor just told me that I didn't have it. I later went to a Celiac specialist who told me that the test is only acurate while still eating gluten. I get extremely ill even with small amounts so I have not been willing...

    I used to have major "brain fog" all the time before I quit eating gluten about 2 years ago. I had been diagnosed with Fibromialgia about 10 years ago and had gotten much worse until I became gluten-free. I had also started having small strokes (TIAs) and partial seisures which were interfering in my life. Coincidentally, the TIAs and seisures became less...
