I'm feeling very overwhlemed this morning! I really do not know where to turn. I had a positive blood test and endo in May. My tGA levels were high. I was having more pain free hours, but now I'm not. I wake up and I feel okay for the most part. As soon as I get up, move around and drink water my right and left sides hurt (cramp up and feel hot inside.) I have given up coffee and my much loved diet pepsi. I've eaten gluten free and have taken extra cautions with soap etc. I don't know where to turn to with this pain still. I am going to be asked to have food testing done.

I'm bloated and wonder if it could be the Metamucil free and clear my dietition recommended.?? That's new and my like for brown rice chips.

Does anyone have any suggestions on laxatives? I'm all for a natural laxative. Also, has anyone ever drank Aloe juice to help heal you?

Thanks in advance I'm feeling lost.

I hate that happened to you! I have eaten out 3 times since learning of my Celiac status. I had one good experience. My dietition said you have to live, but right now, I'm having too much pain in my own home. I hope you feel better soon!

I found out today that Caswell Massey has a Natural line that includes hand soap, hand lotion and bar soap that is gluten free. It has it printed on the actual product. In case someone likes that company.

I went shopping today for any gluten free cosmetics I could find. I went to Sephora and got some Tarte lipstain. The one I looked at had no glutens on the box, but the color I brought home, I cannot find that on the box. I also found a line of baby products there that have Organic- NO Nuts, Glutens, Soy or Dairy. She said a lot of adults use it. It had a few lotions/creams and a body cleanser. Line is "the Healthy Baby" by Lavanila Labs. It has a light baby powder sent to it.

I also have 2 questions. Have any of you used Zu Zu make up? Have any of you tried AVEDA? Thanks!

Thank You!!

I've been reading all morning and yet, again my side is in really bad pain. I know what's coming next, the brain fog and headache. Thanks for all the post's here. I finally don't feel so alone. I still have moments I want to bust out crying in the middle of Trader Joe's or the other market I drive to. I'm really overwhelmed with figuring this all out. I have one friend who actually knew what Celiac was. Other people look at me like I'm crazy or that I'm being too extreme. Thanks again

Thanks for your response! I'm going to start the food diary today. Right now, I'm working on cosmetics. I have been having some numbness on my face and icky skin. Thanks again.

Help, please! I found out a month ago that I have Celiac after 7 months of tests and scans. I'm learning alot, but still in pain. I went to a wonderful dietition who helped alot, but I'm still making mistakes. I have some pain free hours and I'd like to make them days. Right now I'm getting the handle on food, but want to go gluten free with my cosmetics, lotions etc. If anyone knows of a good line to try, could you please let me know. Any other advice, help, or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks!
