    I'm 9 months gluten free and I keep hoping I will outgrow my dairy intolerance as my body heals my villi. Any hope for that or am I dreaming? Go ahead. I can take it. If there's no hope I'd rather resign myself to it now.

    Thanks so much for your post. It is so helpful to read about people overcoming things rather than trying to figure out how to deal with constant obstacles. Cheers to you!

    While it does sound from what you write that your bf is lacking in compassion, I thought I would respond to the things I think you, yourself, might consider doing differently, since that is the only part of this you really have control over. First, I would say that you (singular, not plural) need to sit down and make a list of foods you can have on standby...

    As others have mentioned, your biopsy will not yield anything if you have been gluten free. But here are some tips for when/if you do finally switch over. If you have a Trader Joe's in reasonable distance, print out a list from their web sites of products that are gluten free and high light what you think you might be interested in. Take it with...

    I hear you! I think sometimes people think they do us a favor by rolling their eyes and assuring us we look great, but honest sympathy would be much better than trying to make us feel better. If you are gaining weight despite increasing your exercise and your diet has remained great, there is something going on. For me, the only time I drastically gained...

    :lol: Would that we could all react this way!

    YES!!! I have been eating non-stop. It is starting to get better, but only after many, many months off of gluten and a huge increase in probiotics and other supplements. My great new filler while I am busy preparing my next meal is to pop some left over quinoa in the oven with whole almonds on top. Lots of proteins and good fat to hold you over for the...

    Thanks, Sophie. We will get there, I think. I recently walked in on him explaining to a guest that they could not use my special utensils or have any bread in a certain place, so that is already a great improvement. I will enjoy that step in the right direction for a while and then, maybe in a few weeks, talk to him about cleaning up crumbs. We are moving...

    I have been gluten free for 9 months, now, but noticed more improvement (i.e. some weight gain) only after drastically increasing my probiotic intake. Like most of you probably also experienced at first, I have been eating enough for a few people and absorbing almost nothing, and I am thrilled to have finally found something that seems to help me get...

    poor thing! Are you already doing colon massage? It is somewhat painful when you are so stuffed, but it works really well. I can't recommend a particular web-site, since my physical therapist taught it to me, but I think you won't go wrong by just slowly tracing (circling, nudging, massaging) from the lower right beginning up around and down to the bottom...

    You are not alone in any of these frustrations. I have not figured out how to handle the family angle... I finally sectioned off a gluten free part of the kitchen, and, the same day I had spent oodles of time cleaning and prepping and announcing, I came into the room and found a bag of rolls open on that section. I reminded my husband that it was totally...

    It is so great to read this thread. I have been gluten-free since September, and I hugely increased the probiotics about two months ago. My body is starting to absorb more from the food, so I at least no longer feel like cooking and eating is totally consuming my life. Still very time consuming, but I can get by on 5 meals or so, now. But in that first...

    Does anyone else suffer with joint pain from being glutoned? I don't know which of my symptoms is worse... The GI symptoms, or the pain in my joints. Absolutely! I was at the point where I had a lot of difficulty walking and was being treated for arthritis when I switched doctors out of frustration (they wanted to medicate me like crazy) and found...

    I'm so glad to read this post. My husband is really into his bread and cookies and not very good at seeing things when he cleans up or paying attention to where he puts things when he is preoccupied. I have talked to him about keeping his bread in a designated area and only cutting it on a certain cutting board, but we have not yet managed to completely...

    I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and recently was diagnosed with Celiac. Unfortunately, I now also can't process dairy... so I am vegan and gluten-free, which is manageable at home but makes me phobic about restaurants or going to friends' homes. I decided to try to return to meat to make things easier, but could not get myself to eat it. I can...
