    yes the same thing is going on with me! i have lost 7 lbs since starting gluten free and 1 1/2" from my waist ... miracle! i want to lose 40 and its all on my waist ... i figured i was stuck with it because of my thyroid. i couldn't figure out why i can't get it off because we eat pretty healthy (of course i do snack on sweets)! but i was shocked the...

    i've been carefully monitoring everything i eat to keep gluten out of my system and 12 days into it and feeling a major difference i think i accidentally ate some. i thought some of my symptoms were the beginning of maybe "withdrawl" but then the all too familiar and painful stomach cramping/bloating developed that i had finally had relief from! i've been...

    i am 12 days into gluten free while still waiting for labs to come back and i am feeling some of the symptoms you are. yesterday seemed particularly difficult and i thought maybe i accidentally ate gluten because i was feeling anxious and a little irritable the whole day. i got bloated and my joints were hurting pretty bad too. i still haven't slept good...

    well its great to hear that they can go away. today i am 10 days into being gluten free and i have already been relieved to see some very noticable changes. i hope that is another positive change as well!

    i was just curious if anyone has ever heard of Petechia (small popped/red blood vessels under skin that do not heal) being a problem/symptom for someone who is gluten intolerant? thanks for the help!

    i am waiting for enterolab results and i am curious as to what you mean by "not a real diagnosis"? i tested through them because of all i read about their integrity and accurate testing.

    that's fantastic! i too have heart palps/racing. (i was on metaprolol but weaned off of it). after reading your post, i am hoping this is cured for me as i eat gluten free (day 3 today). could they possibly go hand in hand?! good luck!

    i am waiting on results to come back as well. about a year or so ago i researched via internet what the "gasoline swirls" could be an indication of and it said excess proteins. (i get them when i pee). unfortunately i don't recall which site i found that on. when i asked my doctor about it, they said they had never heard of such a thing. my kidney/urine...

    i'm just getting started with learning about gluten being the possible cause to my problems and am in the process of going through testing right now. so far i have only had (an incomplete) c panel done by my skeptical doctor. my doctor frankly told me he doesn't know a lot about celiac but suggests i do a "gluten free month" based on my panel. then he...

    i'm seeing my doctor next week but i am also thinking about going through enterolab after reading about them. i need to know that i've exhausted every possibility regarding gluten. its hard to get a doctor to truly listen because in the medical field now a days it feels like we are "herded" through the office like a bunch of cattle. he was skeptical but...

    i read that some insurances may reimburse you if you use entrolab but it looks like its case by case. (i believe it was either here or on entro's website ... sorry i can't remember which one).
