About Me

Hi, I'm Hyacinth. I'm trying out the gluten free diet to see if it helps my migraines. So far it does. My dad was diagnosed with Celiac disease a couple of years ago. I am finding it a hard diet to follow. It is making me frustrated and cranky. Still, the headaches are better, so it seems to be worth it.

  1. I think that airborne gluten is a definite danger to some individuals. My dad for instance can and does get sick from being in the kitchen while my mom is kicking up a dust storm of baking flour. I (luckily) don't seem to have a reaction from that.

Doctors kept telling him he was fine. When he went off of gluten it took him like 6 weeks to even start feeling better. But once he did start getting better, it was...
  6. HI! I'm new here too. I also have taken myself off gluten, and have been off it for one week now. My dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about two years ago. I have suffered from chronic headaches and also migraines for many years. Suddenly about a week ago my boyfriend came up with the idea to take me off gluten and see if that helped. Holy Cow!...
