    So sorry to hear what you've gone through, and I appreciate your sharing. Don't worry. I jumped right back on the wagon, and haven't gone off since. Don't plan to ever--even more now that I've heard your story, and another. Thanks. Take care of yourself!

    More good advice and kind support....All of you supportive, helpful people who've commented on this subject have really meant a lot to me. I think I've gained strength, and a new way of looking at things. Not that it's always going to be easy, but I think it will get easier and easier. My sincere appreciation to all!

    Thanks so much for ALL your support! It's nice to hear that it was also extremely difficult for you in the beginning. It's not just me. I'm feeling like I'm grieving, but I thought maybe I was being too dramatic or something. Hearing you describe it as that also is really helpful and validating. It seems like people who don't have this don't really get...

    Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to try it.

    Thanks! I should make something positive out of this experience. I have been wanting to order from the gluten free mall, and should go ahead and make an order.

    This is the kind of support I needed. Just someone to understand what I am going through, and offer some advice. Thank you so much!! It's nice to feel like somebody out there understands. I don't intend to deliberately eat something with gluten again, but it's nice to know at least 1 person out there besides me misses some of the food, and thinks about...

    A bowl of cereal is not worth it, that's why I was asking for some words of wisdom and support. This is a very difficult transition. I'm having a very hard time, and I feel like crying after reading your reply. I was afraid of getting unsupportive answers like yours when I posted this, but I decided to think positively. If you didn't have something kind...

    I've been gluten free for a week, and I already slipped. I love cold cereal with milk, and I miss it so much! Last night, I ate rice krispies. I'm pretty sure it's not gluten free, but I figured since it's made from rice, it wouldn't be as bad as some others. I have terrible insomnia right now, and late at night is the hardest time to stay on the diet...

    I don't have any suggestions, because I am only a week in. I just want you to know I totally understand what you're going through, and you have my support. Hang in there.

    I've just started on the diet and need something easy and simple to use. Preferably with all kinds of food in it. One that's available on the gluten-free mall would be great, because I live in Saudi Arabia and haven't found anything available here.

    Thanks for the interesting info. I am a woman, and I will mention this to my ob/gyn. I read in your bio that you had kidney damage. Celiac can cause this? I'm very curious, because recently I've been feeling pain in the area of my kidneys when I'm sick. It's only been a week since I started the diet, so I'm just starting my recovery, and I'm still experiencing...

    Thanks so much!! It's really encouraging to think this cough will probably go away! It's always been so annoying. I'm happy for you that yours is almost gone. I also have had several sinus infections, and almost every time I get a cold, it goes straight to my chest. I've also had bronchitis many times. I'm just learning about all the problems this can...

    Hi everyone...I was just curious whether anybody experiences face flushing or gets a cough from gluten? I've had a chronic cough since I was a kid which has been attributable to nothing, and now that I've been diagnosed with celiac's, I'm wondering if it's related to that, and if it will get better now that I'm on the diet? I also get terrible face flushing...

    I'm not sure, but speaking from personal experience...I often get everything at the same time. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they're all related to "getting glutened".(like that:)) I'm feeling it all today. Guess I ate something with gluten yesterday. Only thing I'm not sure was gluten free was some chocolate. Do you or anybody else know much about...

    This is the second time today I'm taking your advice! Thanks so much! Will all different kinds of gatorade do the job? Can't wait to try it. I'm going to have my husband get me some on his way home from work today!

    I am soooo with you!! It's only been a week for me, and I just have slight dizziness, but the fatigue and insomnia are really getting me down. Finally slept a good 11 hours last night. Felt fairly good when I woke up. Ate my gluten free breakfast of eggs and coffee. Now all the nausea and especially fatigue are back. Feel like I don't want to eat anything...

    This info is so helpful! Just diagnosed with celiac disease and I was trying to figure out which books would be best. Was planning to get The First Year..., but now I won't. I'm definitely going to get Living Gluten Free For Dummies. Thanks!!

    I've also been recently diagnosed. Only about a week ago...Had an endoscopy yesterday. The dr took several biopsies. Said he'll give me the results in 2 weeks. Also said he found some damage to my small intestine just by looking. I'm 39 yrs old, and I'm sure I've had this all my life, but for some reason the last 3 weeks I have been so sick--terrible...
