    It took me approximately 9 months of going gluten free before all my issues cleared up. I have been educating my 3 adult children for about 5 years. They have almost completely healed during those 9 months. My condition was severe. I went on disability and remained on disability for about 1 year and hope to return to college to retrain for the work...

    I think it would be cool to have a gluten-free establishment.

    Other intolerances/sensitivities are probably rearing their ugly head.....after a year of trial and error I discovered I was GI, THEN I diagnosed myself with Oral Allergy Syndrome before allergist confirmed it. I'm allergic to at least 77 items to varing degrees. The primary are dairy, wheat, raw vegatables and fruit, as well as nuts and tree nuts. Extremely...

    I finally booked an appointment with an allergist after I initiated an eliminations diet 5 years ago. The list of allergens was growing. I was tired of the restriction,frustrated and desperate for answers. I gave him a list of suspected allergens, and he added a few that I suspected. The test was positive for all of them. Self diagnosed as gluten...

    I had to give up cat sitting for a friend because the cat was making me sick whenever she licked me. It was even harder to leave a relationship because of the gluttening from kissing. As much as we love our SO they can make us deathly sick. He didn't wash his hands or brush his teeth before establishing contact. I was sick for 6 weeks after. He met...

    I started seeing a doctor, when I was about 10 years old because I would get an occasional irregular heart beat. He said it was a heart murmur and that I would grow out of it. I went to another doctor because I wasn't convinced it would go away. Also, I complained of migraines and constipation. The doctor prescribed aspirin and laxatives. For...

    I shopped for a doctor who would listen to my concerns and understood celiac disease/gluten intolerance. Now, I plan to return to a specialist I met 17 years ago after my thyroid stopped functioning. I self diagnosed my condition of food sensitivities, then I went to a Naturopath to confirm my diagnoses. I returned to my GP to order blood tests, then...

    I went for allergy testing on Jan 20th. Glutened a few days before appointment, and I prepared a casserole of suspected allergen ( items I haven't consumed for sometime). Tested positive for 30 allergens. I began an elimination diet in 2005, by fasting for several days then introducing one food at a time. Had no idea this was considered an elimination...

    Be careful with items that say traces of such and such. Especially, if you may/maynot be allergic to it. I am allergic to items that never bothered me before. For several months I thought I was just getting gluttened although I was being ultra cautious. Then, a light bulb went off....I must be allergic to something. After eating strawberries, nuts...

    Boy.....where to begin. Started dating new guy 2006. I had 1st blackout in my life on our first date. Fortunately, my friend joined us that eve. He told bf that it isn't me. I don't usually talk like that. I don't remember what I said, but the look on bf face said it all. He finally left me last year, after an on again off again relationship. ...

    I've had gluten intolerance all of my life. Whenever I started consuming too much carbs I would get the crazies/ADHD. The digestive tract converts it into an opiate/morphine type substance. This worsened as I go older. 2009 was milestone for me because I decided to kick the carb addiction. I wondered if I should check myself into the psych ward....

    The panic attacks I've experienced were related to allergic reaction to chemicals, and certain food. Daily yoga sequences helped me overcome the ADHD/OCD and addictive behavior. There is a sequence to help reduce the severity of brain fog. Since I am a spiritual person, my yoga practice nourishes my body, mind and spirit. Once the panic attacks and...

    I followed an elimination diet to determine which items were allergens. Once I eliminated those items all my symptoms cleared up. I occasionally become glutened even with the best intentions. Those flares are unbearable. As my digestive system started healing the reactions to an accidental gluttening decreased. It did start to get better. Hopefully...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    Wonderful You sure lifted my spirit, with your thoughtful point of view - the SO. I'm on the 3rd day of recovery from accidental glutening. My spirits are lifting, and I think I can venture outdoors again. The fear of being accidentally glutened can be debilitating even if my loved ones are doing their best to keep my environment clean. Trying...

    After diagnoses my symptoms took approximately 6 weeks to start to to diminish. By 3 months I was feeling almost symptom free. My twitching was almost constant and on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the least, it was about 7. Yes the healing took longer after diagnoses compared to isolated incidents of ingesting gluten. 3 months for recovery after...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    CarbQueen replied to jackay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Gluten Intolerance is a painful condition. Each time I am glutened my immune system is compromised. When I caught the flu, my reaction was the worst by far. I could not get out of bed for 2 hours because there was no one around to help me. I used the wall for support for a whole week to navigate my way around the house. Every muscle in body felt sore...

    My last boss had the same attitude. I thought he would be understanding since he has Chrohn's disease, and his boss gave him several sick days. If you love your job, like I did mine, then I would tread very carefully. Some people at the work place do not like to deal with emotional people because they don't think they are trust worthy or reliable. ...

    The walking does make the twitching worse initially, but subsides after I resume gluten-free diet. I eases back into walking. Started with a block then worked my way up to 2k, 3Xs per week. Baby steps are the key. I've learned to be patient. I practice yoga on a daily basis. It reduces the severity of my flares. Cranial sacral therapy helped me...

    Thank you for the support. This is is about my 9th relationship, and I am trying to put the prior experiences behind me so that I can give this man a chance. My last partner left me 4 months ago and it took him that long to realize how much he hurt me. He contacted me Saturday to talk about our last relationship, and possibly get back together again...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    CarbQueen replied to jackay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have to educate my new boyfriend. Hopefully, he will be cautious. You are right some people can't or won't understand or take me serious. I try to tell them that it is like a severe case of indigestion that can be non stop for days at a time. They can understand that an antiacid will not fix this. I use to hide my symptoms, but now I let everyone...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    CarbQueen replied to jackay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I left my last boyfriend because I became extremely ill after kissing him a few times. My bacterial count reached 19 out or 21. Took me 1 month to bring it to 3 out of 21. Last count was 1 out of 21. He claimed he was clean, but even a trace amount will cause a flare in my body. I have multiple allergies. My reaction to each allergen is different...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    I kissed my BF after he had whiskey...I suffered the consequences. What a way to find out I couldn't tolerate his brand of whiskey. I stick to items labeled gluten free. I think for alcohol to be safe it has to be distilled a few times.

    I haven't had a flu shot in over a decade, and I don't plan to start. H1N1 was a nasty flu. I felt like someone just put my whole body in a vise and twisted it. I swear portions of my lungs were expelled with each cough. The experience was like being glutened to the nth degree. Hey....what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...lol!
