    So I did my research, found out that Biaggi's (awesome italian restaurant... it's a chain so some of you are familiar I hope!) has a gluten free menu. Even the bread that they first bring out to the table has a gluten-free version. I called ahead and made a reservation and told the girl I will be needing a gluten-free menu. Then I stopped. I felt almost...

    I drink diet coke every once in a while- I've only noticed that it increases my bloating and sometimes causes me to feel "gross" for lack of a better example. What kinds of symptoms are you having??

    That helps a lot- I often eat zucchini, peppers and eggplant which I am happy with- that's a good tip! I guess I was feeling like, although I have been happy as a vegetarian, I would almost be willing to eat some meat if it meant creating a more well-rounded healthy diet, but if I don't find anything that argues that meat will help my celiac symptoms,...

    very helpful! thanks guys- what about when things say 'Natural Flavor'?

    I am about a week and a half into being gluten free and not finding it that difficult at all! With that said, I have noted that many of the soy alternatives to meat are full of gluten, so I'm wondering about alternatives that are not super expensive at the "whole foods" type stores. I'm 24 and on a pretty strict budget, but want to eat as healthy as...

    I'm still very new with gluten free, but pretty used to thoroughly reading ingredient labels since I have been a vegetarian for almost 10 years. My question is- what should I look for, as far as gluten ingredients or "hidden" gluten containing ingredients in salad dressings and condiments (like mustard, ketchup, hot sauce etc...) I feel like I never...

    ARCHIVED Hot Stomach

    lischro replied to Mitzi's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi there! I am considering myself self-diagnosed and still very new to the Gluten-free diet, but completely know this feeling. Does your daughter have constipation? I have had chronic constipation for about 3 years and the hot feeling, for me, is when I am very "backed up" and it extends to my lower back. Very awful and uncomfortable and just painful....

    gfreegirlie! I am very new to gluten free eating (5 days) and am also vegetarian (10 years). If you have ANY tips or nuances or sample meals/restaurants that you enjoy I would very much appreciate it! Thanks so much in advance.... I need all the help I can get

    I wish I had the answer.... I have been having this for the last 2-3 years and have just started eating gluten free (jus 5 days so far)..... VERY curious! Anyone have the answer??
  10. lischro
    I completely agree! Just enjoy yourself! Don't put any unneccesary pressure on yourself

    I don't think I'm going to be much help, but I also suffer from horrible, chronic constipation. The only thing I have noticed about the time I start my period is that I get completely and utterly wiped out. I feel like I have the flu or something. It's hard to focus and be productive because I feel like everything is shutting down and I need to SLEEP. The...

    IngridBeth and MissCeliac- That is very comforting to know! I've kind of taken the approach that I will continue to test the no gluten diet to find out if it will help. I'm on day 3 and so far no changes, but am very opptimistic. I'm also a vegetarian, so it makes it a little extra challenging, but many of the things I already eat (dry beans/legumes, veggies...

    Thank you, Ravenwood! What is IMHO?

    Oh- one more thing- Does Iga test result of 127 and a ttg test result of 3 mean anything???? I will get a copy, but just curious if this means anything to anyone....

    Thank you for replying! I'm hesitant to get a biopsy just because I think it will be expensive. My idea is to start the gluten free diet just to see if I feel better. If I feel better than I know what I should be doing as far as avoiding gluten. I've just had it with doctors. The most ironic thing of all is when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about...

    So I just got off the phone with the b%$@#iest nurse- who informed me that my tests were negative. After a fight to get some more information about the levels, she would only say "IGA was 127 and TTG was 3." I don't even know what these mean! So any help with understanding those??? I'm on day 3 of my gluten free diet because I am convinced that is what...

    I'm brand new to all of this but seem to be under the impression that my going on a gluten free diet will help with the unexplained weight gain I have had the last couple of years. I'm 24/female and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 3 years ago and was told my symptoms would be relieved after about 6-8 weeks of taking levothyroxine, but nothing has...

    Hi flartista- I am a 24 year old female, and have also been living with the crazy bloating- the tummy bulge, chronic constipation for a few years and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 3 years ago. I finally was tested for celiac last week and am waiting for my results. I've done a ton of research and am convinced that I am (at least)gluten intolerant and...

    Hi everyone, I am still waiting for my blood test results, but am preparing myself to grocery shop/ and get ready to start the gluten-free diet next week. I was wondering if anyone has had "withdrawal" symptoms from cutting out gluten-containing products, and, if so, how to cope. Just wondering what all I can expect. Thanks all!

    I thought of another question- I know it seems random, but I have always had a geographic tongue and have noticed it's increased sensetivity when/after I've eaten something spicy or especially acidic. I use hot sauce a lot so I've noticed it specifically with hot sauce. Although I haven't narrowed it down to any specific foods, the sensetivity will often...

    Thank you! It's a scary thought to think about going back to eating meat, but I have considered it. I'm not interested in spending a ton of money on the "fancy" (haha) vegetarian food, although it has been a really important aspect of my life for the past almost 10 years. I have a whole foods in my town, so will probably play around with their options for...

    Thank you all very much for your comments! It helps a lot to know that I am not the only one going through this! I know my family tries to be supportive, but they just don't get it. Anyway, I forgot a lot of stuff when I was typing that last night- I'm 24 years old/female and did find out about 6 months ago that I am not anemic, so that was ruled out. I did...

    Hi, I'll try to keep this short. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 3 years ago after having every symptom imaginable... have been taking levothyroxine since and have not experienced relief in symptoms at all. I have regularly visited an endocrinologist and gastrointestinal specialist ever since (barium enema and sigmoidoscopy came back fine)... In my...
