ARCHIVED Is Anyone Else Contastntly Hungry Or Craving?
HS7474 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I always seem to be hungry. Or if I'm not necessarily hungry, in general, I seem to be craving something. This causes me to go into the kitchen raid the pantry. It seems to be sweets that I'm driven to. And I can't let myself make any type of gluten-free dessert because I will eat the whole thing by the end of the night, no joke. I figure it may just be... -
I have a bit of a strange question, one mainly of curiosity. If I wanted to try to either verify that I have celiac or to see what my symptoms are to gluten and I started to eat wheat containing products, how long would it take to react to just the gluten? What I mean by that is that if I've been gluten free for 2 years, I figure that ingesting wheat...

ARCHIVED Diagnosed 2 Years Ago Only By Blood Test, Could It Be False?
HS7474 replied to HS7474's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you all so much for your replies! Today is my second day without the gum or the cocoa. I had a couple of pieces of gum last night and think my belly started to react - I'm doing my best to go cold turkey with the gum but I do have something of an addiction to it! Is there any way to test for other intolerances that gives accurate results,... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosed 2 Years Ago Only By Blood Test, Could It Be False?
HS7474 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was tested back on November 13th, 2008. I didn't think much of it since my doctor called and said "You have celiac disease". I've been living gluten-free since. However, I've been having the same symptoms I had before: Gas and bloating. I had a biopsy done in May of last year and it came back negative, which isn't surprising since I've been gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate - Have You Ever Had A Problem?
HS7474 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm feeling pretty awful today and have not had anything out of the ordinary. I did, however, chew nearly an entire pack of Orbit Tropical Remix (I admit to a gum addiction )! The ingredients seemed safe but I did see, after my syptoms started occurring, that one of them "Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate" may contain gluten, according to this site. Has anyone... -
ARCHIVED Am I Being Glutened Or Could It Be Something Else?
HS7474 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello! I've been struggling for awhile with symptoms I would associate with being glutened: highly unpleasant gas and extreme bloating. However, I eat pretty much the same things every day and have verified over and over again that they are gluten free. One thing that I do consistently that may be an issue is chew gum (sugar free). I can't find any... -
ARCHIVED Mother Diagnosed, Wont Go On Diet
HS7474 replied to ratty89's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I can relate- I'm almost positive my brother has celiac disease but won't get tested. However, even if he found out he had celiac disease I doubt he would go gluten free. He doesn't have the willpower or the care. -
ARCHIVED Just Hit Me That I Can't Have A "normal" Thanksgiving
HS7474 replied to lpjourney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm so sorry to hear that I'm going through nearly the same thing. It will be my second Thanksgiving, however, but I wasn't nearly as careful last year, I just avoided the obvious. This year, I will be abstaining from all of it due to the risk of CC and I was glutened recently. It's at my boyfriend's brother's apartment and I'm terrified of being the odd... -
ARCHIVED Anyone And Everyone: Are Your Gluten Exposure Symptoms Usually Consistent?
HS7474 replied to StacyA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Lol! What a perfect (and of course horrible) description. I'm not sure much can make a person feel more unfeminine than that one symptom! Febreez has my eternal gratitude -
ARCHIVED Anyone And Everyone: Are Your Gluten Exposure Symptoms Usually Consistent?
HS7474 replied to StacyA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know my personal symptoms of: Gas (very frequent and very unique scent), bloating, and irritability (debatable) are always there. It's possible that I have other varying symptoms but I know if I have "that gas" that I've been glutened. I'm in a very "dangerous" household so it's hard for me to say whether or not I have other symptoms since, until I get... -
ARCHIVED If It's An Autoimmune Response, And The Amount Doesn't Matter...
HS7474 replied to StacyA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm completely with you on your thinking on this subject. I'm "celebrating" my 1 year anniversary of diagnosis/gluten free and I'm incredibly tempted to eat a tuna melt bagel, my favorite muffin, and a ham and cheese sandwich on Wonderbread... just to see what would happen However, from my experience, the amount of gluten does make a difference. If... -
ARCHIVED Thanksgiving With The Boyfriend's Family, Without Offending?
HS7474 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello, This Thanksgiving my boyfriend's brother and his fiancee are holding Thanksgiving Dinner at their apartment. It's been (possibly to the day, today) 1 year since I was diagnosed by blood test for Celiac Disease. Last Thanksgiving I recall avoiding the obvious- stuffing, rolls, etc. - but still ate with his family. I was glutened recently and have...
