    well hopefully since you said you forced it you didn't strain something. for me, after a glutening my body seems to have this same cycle/sequence of recovering as far as my digestive system- start with bloating, gut wrenching pain and "d" and then i seem to go to constipation but still feel bloated and gut pain, and finally the bloating and pain subsides...

    i dealt with this too and noticed a huge difference since going gluten free. i am not in the medical field but can tell you long story short after MANY tests they determined i had SVT. it feels like a-fib and i have sometimes remained for days with the condition where my heartbeat stayed upwards to almost 200 bpm. it was scary and i truly thought i was...

    sounds like you inadvertently confirmed it! i noticed you said you were a thyroid cancer survivor ... celiac disease certainly attacked my thyroid. if you wouldn't mind answering ... did you have any symptoms before finding out you had thyroid cancer or was it discovered "by accident"? glad to hear you are on the right track ... it takes a while but...

    yes for me it hits in a matter of hours and lasts around 2 to 3 days.

    i agree. it sounds like they are trying to help you in anyway they can but don't fully understand how easy cc can be for you. we get together with our folks every other week specifically for supper and we have them come to our house. i cook, they bring something (since that makes them feel like they are contributing) but i KNOW what exactly is in my food...

    my husband and i recently celebrated our 15th anniversary by going to disney for a few days and i am relieved and happy to report after constantly eating out that i had NO incidents with gluten or contamination. no matter which restaurant we went to the chef personally came out to talk with me and discuss my options and assure me they have dedicated equipment...

    i have dealt with dry achy eyes for several years now. i too was hoping for relief after being gluten free by now. i notice if i don't get enough sleep (most nights) that it tends to aggrevate the soreness even more. they just h.u.r.t. some things that my eye doc told me to do often: take fish oil, eat fish, tomato based foods and green leafy ...

    i have svt after years of tests done. my heart rate will do the same thing ... i've had it in the 200's before on several occassions. i have noticed a MAJOR improvement since being gluten free. i will notice around my cycle that it will act up and that is quite possibly the hormonal fluctuations that naturally occur. i was and sometimes still stop-in-my...

    i just don't eat over sparing their feelings (moms included). moms generally want the best for you but if they don't fully understand the disease they don't *know* what the best is for you. so you just gotta be tough and more insistent then they are. EVENTUALLY they'll get it. oh and give them information overload.

    for me, my chronic insomnia has taken months before i saw improvement. its by no means cured but i have noticed a significant difference. on that note, i also notice if i accidentally eat gluten that my nights will consist of mostly tossing and turning and no matter how tired i am i will only get a few hours of restless sleep. i seriously do not understand...

    i'm 3/4 of a year being gluten free for the most part except for accidents and a challenge but the bone/joint pain for me is magnified a great deal if i eat gluten. its awful and scary to feel that poorly. hope you feel better soon.

    i was told by my doctor that "perhaps i had a little IBS and a case of hypochondria". that was several years ago ... and i never went back to him. it took me over 13 years to get diagnosed properly. and that was the beginning of this year with enterolab testing and then confirmed with endo in may. for many it takes so much time to get diagnosed you can...

    yes, i struggle with bone and joint inflammation and pain. it's s.l.o.w.l.y. on the mend. it seems to be noticably aggravated if i get cc'd. have you had your vit. d levels checked? you might be as surprised as i was to find them depleted (even if you take supplements or are regularly outside in the sunshine). you will find many people on here that struggle...

    for me its my right side. at the beginning of the summer i had the colonscopy and endoscopy but it didnt reveal anything about being "lopsided" so hopefully it will be something that improves with time. my own theory is that maybe because i have mild scoliosis the slight curve naturally crunches everything together?? who knows ... but it kinda makes sense...
  22. bluebonnet
    well my gi doctor suggested sustenex which doesn't require refrigeration (due to the improved research to keep it alive). they have a website that you can print a coupon. you want atleast 2 billion (min.). take it daily. there are several good ones out there. there is another one he recommended that started with a c and i can't remember the name right...

    yesterday i made a big pot of soup beans (used pintos) and threw ham in it. usually i keep the bone of a ham from another supper for flavor but didn't have one so i got some boar's head ham and shredded it. i made a salad and some bob mill's gluten free corn bread to go with it and OH MAN i wanted to eat the whole pan. it was sooooooooooo good. no one...
  24. bluebonnet
