vey interesting... I'm also 30, and it sounds like our schedules were pretty similar with growing into them. It definitely makes sense though... that perhaps something like Celiac would cause our bodies to suddenly react differently to certain things. Thanks for the response...

Just a quick question here... Since one can "grow into" allergies, does anyone know if you can grow out of them too? I've had lactose intolerance for about 12 years, maybe which was caused from glutening up all the time, who knows.... but in the past 2 years, I've started to get an allergy attack when ingesting any dairy... ie. my throat swells a...

I know this is a sad thought, but for me, being so scared of getting glutened, I just try to avoid eating out. I find that even though restaurants I've tried are boasting gluten-free menus, their staff doesn't necessarily always understand the importance of it. 3 days ago, i asked for a hamburger with no bun and a side salad with vinaigrette... I was so...

Thank you all for writing... I'm curious as to whether or not I might be suffering from asthma at the same time as going through this new gluten-free lifestyle. I left for a week vacation on the 4th of July and that is certainly when I was feeling the best. In a way, that makes me wonder if there might be something in my own place that makes my symptoms...

I was getting some intense anxiety, especially when I was experiencing any pains associated with my intolerance. My GP gave me xanax... well, actually, the cheap imitation version of it, which unluckily for me, contained GLUTEN. Awesome. Needless to say, he's no longer my GP.

gluten-free since the 3rd of July now... and still trying to debate whether or not I am feeling better. I understand that it has only been 2.5 weeks, but what I find odd is that within 2 days, my stomach was feeling considerably better, and then, after 5 days, it has gone back to where it was. My tingling fingers and sweaty feet are nearly back to normal...

Truth be told, while even questioning whether or not either of these conditions do in fact exist in me, I was a little upset thinking of foods I wouldn't be able to eat... although after looking around online, it seems like there aren't necessarily limitations, just cations. that makes me feel a bit better too.

So so interesting that it is dramatically different in each individual. Thank you all so much for writing and helping me with this. This, believe it or not, has been my most productive day in weeks, and it's a Saturday! I'll keep on it for now, as much as I'd love to just know if it helps being off of it and I'll be sure to come back on here and mention...

Thanks again for writing. I think I should take your advice and just get tested right away then. At least then I won't need to worry about any backlash when having to put gluten back into my diet later down the road. I appreciate the advice, always, and I'll let you know how things turn out once I get some results back. Hopefully, thanks to this forum...

Allison, That is unreal, yet makes so much more sense that I would only start to notice symptoms once quitting. I smoked considerably more than you of course, but it just shows how much their theory is being proven. Not to dwell on old habits, but do you think the development of this intolerance was inevitable, or do you think that possibly starting...

I have insurance that has a SERIOUSLY high deductible, which I have now just accepted that I am going to reach before the end of all of this. I'm originally from Canada and not used to the high cost of medical attention in the US. I've never really been sick enough to need medical attention in this country before. It threw me off a little bit, but I just...

thank you! are you serious??? it can mask it? that is unreal that doing something bad for your health can prevent you from seeing what other sort of damage you are doing in the meantime. thank you very kindly for the reply... i'm definitely not going back to smoking, that's for sure.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I found myself spending a Saturday in front of a computer trying to figure this out... how fun. I really appreciate the advice, and I will be sure to get my doctor to test me... regardless of how unappealing an endo sounds. As of this morning, I stopped eating gluten, but maybe I shouldn't do that just quite yet...

Hey all, Very new to this forum, and also to the thought of possibly being gluten-sensitive, or having Celiac. I am hoping I can pass over what I am experiencing to you all and perhaps get some thoughts back on whether or not I am dealing with the right thing. Since quitting smoking, nearly 7 weeks ago (go me), I've had the weirdest, most debilitating...
