    Puffee, I just posted something about this same problem! Pregnant-looking, severely bloated for over a year and a half. Cannot figure out what's causing it. Some days are better, but the bloating is taking over my life. I get very fatigued, sleepy, nauseated and unable to function. I cannot wear my clothes unless they have a stretchy waistband because...

    I too suffer from the extreme bloating, but sometimes I cannot connect it to anything I've eaten. I've been asked if I was pregnant it was so badly swollen. I've also been told by a doctor to go on Weight Watchers, and I tried to explain that if it was weight, it wouldn't come and go to that extreme. Any wisdom or advice anyone wants to share. When...

    Got my TSH results in and it was 1.340. What is normal? I took a quiz on the internet and I have 30 of the 33 symptoms of thyroid problems - weight gain, dry skin, sleeplessness, EXTREME fatigue (was in bed two days this week), ringing in the ears. I have pregnant-sized stomach that would go up and down, but it's been bloated now for three weeks. I have...

    I meant to tell you that I have a problem of looking 9 months preg one day and not the next

    Hang in there. I feel your pain, frustration and loss of *normal* life. I am fairly new, December '09, but I am beginning to see that everyone experiences days/weeks of depression. I have no words of wisdom, but praying and wishing you peace.

    ARCHIVED Bloating...

    CecilyF replied to Kelynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Does the bloating ever go away? I've been extremely bloated looking preg for a year and a half now. The bloat goes all the way around my back and is very uncnomfortable. I can't say pain, but it makes it hard to breathe. I cannot seem to get any relief since going gluten-free since December. Felt lots better at first, but now I am severely fatigued,...

    ARCHIVED Jackson, Ms

    CecilyF replied to mbrookes's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hey Jackson, MS! I am in the Tupelo, MS area. Outback in Tupelo is VERY safe. The manager's daughter has Celiac, so he's very aware of gluten-free and cc. Do NOT eat at The Olive Garden in Tupelo. Thanks for the info!

    I too have the ringing in the ears and asked my natural doc about it Monday. He thinks it is connected to my liver, which has/is congested, and thinks it will clear up when I get straightened out.

    I too have extreme bloating and the other symptoms you described. I went gluten-free December 7th and my bloating has been better, but I still cannot get into my pants. I've had NO weight loss whatsoever and am VERY discouraged. I feel 100 percent better. I also find that right before my cycle I get extremely bloated. I went back to my natural doc Monday...

    Oh, you are so right! Nothing is worth the year I lost of my life. I ordered from their gluten free menu, but it so was NOT! I am sticking to my tried and true food at home. Just wanted to warn everyone of my bad experience so they would not get sick. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thanks for your response

    Does anyone know if Obagi is gluten free? I have emailed them and no response back. It doesn't seem to be bothering me, but I do want to switch to gluten free when I run out.

    So glad to hear your symptoms. I am new to this, one month, and I was deathly ill. I never threw up or anything, just ached all over with chills and sweats. No one else got sick, but I was the only one ordering from the gluten-free menu.

    ARCHIVED Must-Do

    CecilyF replied to happygirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    After reading that article, I subscribed to the magazine!

    Have you gotten off gluten yet? Within three days of getting off gluten, I was a NEW person. You may have to try things yourself. I had been to 10 different doctors before anyone ever mentioned celiac disease to me. I tried the diet, and that was it! Sorry I cannot be more help...

    ARCHIVED Nachos-Yum!

    CecilyF replied to momtopa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm new and that sounds yummy, but what kind of chips are you using?
  19. CecilyF
    Just curious and new, but: What do you get at Chick-Fil-A?
  20. CecilyF
    I ate lunch at the Tupelo, Mississippi, Olive Garden on Tuesday for lunch. I ordered from their gluten-free menu, and immediately after eating started getting sick. I barely made it home, which is 30 minutes, from work, and I also left an hour early! I was deathly ill with flu-like symptoms all night long, high fever, chills, sweating. I missed work on...

    Lipstick! And this girl has gotta have her lipstick. Burts Bees is gluten-free and I have found some MAC lipstick that's gluten-free.
  22. CecilyF
    I am new too, so I cannot offer any "words of wisdom." I am very interested to know what you find out. I am slowly trying to change everything over to gluten free. Never thought about dishwashing liquid! I do know that All Free & Clear has been mentioned as a safe detergent to use. I am wrecked about my lipstick...a girl's gotta have...

    Thank you all so much! Stomach cramps subsided after that one bad day. I feel like a new woman after being gluten free!! I appreciate all the info. What a life-changing experience this has been.
  25. CecilyF
