I'm your age and male. Had the same problem off and on all my life, worse when I ran while wearing a shirt. Would get bad enough to bleed often. The friction of clothing agravated it, a little vaseline helped. Since going gluten-free 30 days ago my knuckles on my hands have gotten really dried out/itchy painful, like that. I read a few things about HD...

ARCHIVED Real Good Gf Blackened Seasoning
McDougall posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This stuff is great on Tuna steak with olive oil and the company responds to questions fast. here's an email regarding gluten I just got "Many thanks for your message. Our Blackened Seasoning contains no gluten. Only our blend of pure herbs and spices. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks of using the Cajun's Choice brand!!" -
Hey Tom glad you're feeling better, me Too!!! I feel like a million bucks. My nausea is much much better, bone pain a hair better maybe, my insides feel way better! I'm sleeping about 10 hours a night, real tired, but overall about 50 times better than 9 days ago. I feel like I'm waking up from a nightmare. I think I might have a peanut allergy, had...

ARCHIVED Old Time Www.celiac.com Members
McDougall replied to McDougall's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm having many of the same feeling. Like there is no profit in helping celiacs so we must find out on our own, left to fend for ourselves by the medical community. There is little press on the issue, why? I can't figure that out, I would think and editor somewhere would have this and make a stink. And because the doctors ignore the problem everyone else... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms
McDougall replied to Iheartbostons's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Everything in there sounds like me including the feeling of fainting, and the bad 4th-5th day. I feel much better today on day 8 but definately light headed still to put it mildly. Lemmee see "Cold hands,pale color,nausea, fogginess, weak, sad and lately the worse yet the feeling I may faint" yep same as me. My nausea is way better. Make sure you eat... -
That's good new Tom I really like those nuts, I was hoping to be able to still eat them and was disapointed when I thought I coudn't. I don't have a bag in front of me but the other ingrediants looked pretty basic and gluten-free.

It was "xanthan" I found to be with gluten, not "xanthan gum" maybe there is a difference? It still could have been the cheese, or just a normal setback I'm sure. My bowels are still fine. My appetite is gone completely and I have always been the type to be hungry at all times.
-
Thanks again for all the help...it looks like I did glutten myself, I had a small bag of planters honey roasted peanuts late Sunday night, I meant to find out what xanthan gum was but never did until I just now backtracked the things I ate. I guess this xanthan gum has gluten. The bone pain was really bad yesterday, better today, I like to hear about others...

Last night I was feeing real good and got it into my head I could eat a chunk of cheese, it was gluten-free but It didn't sit good then and now today I'm feeling pretty crappy, more like day 1 than day 6. That's it for dairy for me for a while. I guess it just didn't scare me as much knowing there was no gluten in it.

Star I have always been lucky dealing with the "jump out of the bed leg cramp pains" by being very careful with my water, salt and potassium intake, and over working your body, especially in the heat. Some people find relief with leg cramps with quinine(sp) but not with me. I have read that celiac can cause problems with water intake, I have always had...
-
I'm not sure I can help here. I do have terrible leg pains at night, but I have a steel rod in there so it is different. However I think you are talking about that same deep down ache I have that can't be stopped. If it's more of a sharp, cramping pain I do think I can help, I have had those also and have a few helpful hints. The ache of bone repair is...

I was wondering how long this board has been here? I feel like there is an epidemic in our society that is being ignored. I do get overdramatic at times so maybe it's just me whose life is forever changed (I know it's not JUST me I have talked to many others) but how epidemic is it? Is it the 134-1 numbers commonly seen here or is it just the rare poor...

ARCHIVED Anxiety?
McDougall replied to LynnR's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was with some friends and we were on vacation in a large van. We were all excited, alot of fun. I'm in the back of the van organizing it, but I'm all over the place. Putting clothes in this bag, cleaning that seat, telling a story, stopping and discovering our lost tickets in a corner, after 5 minutes I look up and my 2 friends are looking at me like... -
ARCHIVED Anxiety?
McDougall replied to LynnR's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Lynn you descibe exactly how I feel alot of the time. Clearly it is NOT abnormal for us celiac sufferers (well as clear as my foggy head can comprehend). It is a very unique and strange feeling that I am shocked to see someone acuarately describe. -
ARCHIVED Gf Antacid Brands
McDougall posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I already posted on meds here but I am having a hard time getting up to date accurate non-conflicting info. I have used Pepcid complete chewables for about a year and they do an excellant job at reducing the acid in my belly. I read a post here after a search on "pepcid" a letter from the manufacturar was provided with a very vague,clearly uninformed description... -
Maggie, yep that broken thermostat and then the pain after, my neck and back are the worst, and in the long run the anxiety and depression have probobly been the worst for me, I feel alot less of both right now and have progressivly so the last few days, still have the hot/cold bone pain and tiredness but I have hope in time from all I'm reading it will get...

Freya, that is exactly what I mean, my migranes only started a month or 2 ago, gone since gluten-free. I like your answer, Thanks.

Another thing I blame the disease on is my broken leg, I broke it after a crash on a bicycle going about 10 miles an hour and slipped in mud, a minor crash, very minor. My foot got caught in the rat trap pedal and I twisted around, Femur broke 100% horizontaly and had several large splits running the whole length, also there were spiral fractures all through...

5days gluten-free. Maggie I know what you mean, it is worlds easier for me to see what foods don't agree with me now. It used to be everthing made me ill so I coudn't differentate any (except dairy which made me sick right away and more noticably). I won't eat anything unless I'm 100% sure it is gluten-free right now, I have no desire to, I don't even...

I'm just a hiar over 4 days gluten-free, I am in the middle of having a cold spell, I know a few people here talked about the Raynuads(sp) it makes my bones ache and shiver, my teeth clench, I get nervous and so cold, I shiver, trembel and feel weak, it doesn't last more than an hour usually and I use sweaters and blankets, and heat to stay warm (in south...

Something else I just noticed, it may sound small but it isn't to me. I've haven't heard of others with this problem. Starting about 2-3 years ago brushing my teeth became a nightmare where I felt like gagging the entire time, having to stop reguraly and try again, brushing the toungue was even harder, a real pain in the butt, and every day without fail...
-
86 hours gluten-free. You guys are great, you're really helping. Peanut Butter and rice cakes are #1 on my list of things I need now. The best thing so far is the doubling over pain is all gone, I had just gotten used to having to curl up in a ball in pain once a day or so and that ain't right, all gone. Also no more runs, none. Still pretty gassy,...
-
My 3rd day, defiantely feeling better. Alot of the feeling better is the knowledge I'm not putting poison in me anymore but things are clearly quieting down in my gut. I am sticking to very few things so far only rice, black beans, chicken eggs and a couple rum and cokes. I just had the eggs and not sure they are settling great I may cut them out also...

ARCHIVED Getting Celiac At A Later Age
McDougall replied to McDougall's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Once again everything sounds like me. I had the same diagnosis Melinda (not the acne or hormones). I also have become lactose intolerent over the last few years and gave up dairy for the most part a year ago. My surgery and death of my Mom have always been the clear beginning of my problems but until now it was atributed to post trauma and stress. I'm...
