Self-diagnosed with my doctor agreeing. We were going to do the blood work and biopsy, but when I tried to eat gluten again to get ready, I was completely miserable. So I didn't bother. Nothing could MAKE me go through that again. So here I am, going almost a year gluten-free (though I've only gone 3 months without CC, simply because I live in a house...

I will feel a little light headed, or slightly drunk/brain foggy within about an hour of eating something containing gluten. However, I rarely notice this until the next day when the symptoms are much worse. When I go to sleep, I get severe nightsweats, the completely soaking my bed kind. I wake up in the throws of a severe fibro flare up and I typically...

I'm sorry to hear that. I have such bad luck when I go to eat out. So I just don't do it anymore. Pineapple?

Thanks for the link. This is something I tried a few years ago. It was a very very tiny component of my migraines. And only red wine (or beer) would trigger a migraine attack for me. -------------- Thank you for your very indepth and thorough reply Takala. I have read it a few times. I've got this thread bookmarked. I'll admit I probably should...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm still reading through them and soaking them up. I just wanted to let you know I am paying attention lol. A note on caffeine. I drink it because it helps with migraines. But if I drink too much (like in a cup of tea or coffee) it makes me feel all shakey and anxious. It's really uncomfortable. I'm not sure why...

I second that. It sounds delicious.

So I've been gluten free for a while. I think that I get hit with low levels of gluten from the things around me. I haven't got that down yet. But my main concerns at the moment are feeling hungry all the time and getting hypoglycemic. I have had issues with low blood sugar, usually when having a lot of pop and not eating anything, for a long time. ...

I know my situation isn't exactly the same. But I'm going through something simmilar. Only I get nauseated when I go hypo too. I don't know what to do about it. I've got like no food at home and I have to eat contantly. I don't understand. And I'm so hungry and sick feeling and there is a plate of banana muffins my mom made on the counter that I can...

I have had chronic migraines since I was a child, and that of course comes with a whole closet full of neurological symptoms, so it's difficult for me to seperate what is caused by gluten and what is caused by my migraines. I have noticed when I am glutened though that I have sore legs, muscle spasms when I try to sleep, and it makes it very hard to sleep...

I'm sorry that you're feeling so rotten. I haven't tried chex cereals, but I have read on these boards that many people do react to them. Might be a good idea to cut it out for at least a little while to make sure it's not what is making you sick. Condiments, especially shared items with gluten eaters have such a high risk of cc, it's best to have...

I have to second this. I'm still starving and I'm on month 4 now. I am ravenous all the time. But it does give me a good indication if my food has been contaminated with gluten, my appitite just shuts down. For me, my first worry about that was gaining weight. I am small, I have a small frame, so it was a little odd at first to actually experience the...

I was given the IBS diagnosis when I had my colonoscopy and gastroscopy they didn't see anything indicative of anything else. So there, I got IBS. That was when I was 16. So, 9 Years ago. The only medication that ever seemed to help was buscopan. Nothing else seemed to do anything. I tried diets and food elimination. (Not going gluten free though, I...

As far as I know, I've been sick with something since I was 12. Because that's really when my ibs, migraines, and general issues all sort of started. I'm 27 now. It takes a long time for us to figure out what is happening to us, and even longer for the people who are just listening to us. One thing that really helpped me was mindfulness training. I am...

THIS. I tried it... for three days. That's it. It got so bad I couldn't eat, I could barely walk, and I couldn't sleep (well, not without help). If you find that going gluten-free makes you feel better, healthier, then there is your answer. It was so horrible, I just figured, why go through all that suffering if you don't have to? Best of luck...

I have been told I'm one of the most picky eaters that my family and friends have encountered. Before going gluten-free I would tire of foods even after just having them once in a longer time span. Now, it takes a little longer. I can have the same thing about six to eight times in a row and only then do I get sick of it. I think it is partly because...
