    I will just be another person that chimes in and says...yes this sounds similar to my symptoms. Now I never have bad stomach problems or feel gassy at all. The only time I had a problem was when I was on vacation a month ago and kept drinking soy lattes from Starbucks...then the gas was pretty awful and foul (tmi...sorry). I've since dropped soy and coffee...

    Yes. I think you need to stick this out while your system adjusts. I discovered my intolerance to gluten (and dairy, soy, caffeine) while on a detox diet so I felt awful for 2 weeks. I think my body was just getting rid of so many things that were poisoning me it made me really sick. Now I've been doing this since March and I'm still trying to figure...

    Before this (self) diagnosis, I had perfected my pizza crust, and my spaghetti recipe. (And muffins and cookies...sigh) Haven't quite figured out an edible pizza crust yet (mostly because I'm only 5 months in and my system can't handle a lot of the flours) but I made my spaghetti sauce with rice noodles and it tasted the same! I'm still sticking to whole...

    ARCHIVED Grief

    srall replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank you. This is very nice to know (about Italy). The only trip now I have on the horizon (besides family homes) is Disney World in the spring. I know if was just discussed in another thread, but I'm sure I'll be on posting many questions before we go. But yeah, figuring that I'd never be able to go to Europe again, that was too depressing to think...

    ARCHIVED Grief

    srall replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I could be all pollyanna with a reply and say something like "At least you're probably eating a much healthier diet." But I know I know I know. I was reading a book about Italy and wondering how I'd ever be able to travel to another country, much less one where I can't speak the language. It truly sucks. No other way to put it.

    I realize this is along the lines of the summer rant post the other day, but here goes. I miss so much that at the end of a very stressful week with my daughter (when does school start again?") I can't just inform my husband that we are going out to dinner because I was too stressed out to cook. Now I have to convince him to watch a crabby child while I...

    ARCHIVED Corn ....?

    srall replied to tweeks2010's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    So far it seems like I can eat a little corn off the cob, but anything like a corn tortilla or corn bread will set off an attack like a gluten attack. I've even tried gluten free. I think it's either cc or I do have an issue with corn. Actually the day I made myself corn bread was one of the sickest days I've had since going gluten free. My husband had...

    I'm sorry your girlfriend is struggling. This reaction, including the joint pain sounds so similar to my symptoms. I'm only 5 months in. I have good days and bad days. Her intestines may have a lot more damage than mine, because I'm like the others with good days and bad days but definitely major improvement. I guess I would just reiterate whole foods...

    I just started eating gluten free (dairy free) in March. I started from only eating whole foods, then was ecstatic to find the processed gluten free foods...YAY convenience. Well, personally I had a really hard time with the processed foods, and they are very expensive. I am back to whole foods and preparing all my own foods as much as possible. Even...
  10. srall
    I am. It took me awhile to pinpoint it...I was so happy that I could still have coffee with soy milk, and then the symptoms started. I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

    I know I know. Last night was a girls' night. Pasta, bread and butter, wine, dips, (ladies, please don't dip those chips in my hummus), truffles, chocolates...and there I am with my glass of water and bean soup which I had to spend the afternoon making from scratch! I do feel so much better but it's tough. We couldn't go to a restaurant because of me...
  12. srall
    I'm so thankful for the "gluten-free" fad. It literally saved my life.
  13. srall
    I don't understand how Celiac's could be over diagnosed? If you have a positive test you have it right? And if you do an elimination diet and you feel better, and by better I mean no more D or C, no more migraines, no more joint pain, no more brain fog...maybe you have an issue with gluten and shouldn't be eating it? I wish when I was trying to get pregnant...
  14. srall
    Absolutely. And it's a relief to hear it's common. As of right now I have moved to a completely whole foods diet. When I first started this diet I felt great cutting out dairy and wheat. Now I feel like one slip will send me on a downward spiral for days. I avoid wheat (obviously), dairy, corn, soy, wine, and coffee and am now wondering about eggs...
  15. srall
    I don't have any advice...just hoping you don't get symptoms.
  16. srall
    Yes I've been tested for a wheat allergy. I am NOT allergic to wheat. Gluten intolerance is a self diagnosis...but years of arthritis, brain fog, migraines, stomach issues, brain fog, fatigue cleared when I eliminated gluten.

    Hi everyone. I am really new to this site but have been getting so much good info from it. If nothing else it helps to make me feel less crazy. Here's my question (which I'll try to keep short and sweet) with a tiny bit of background. When I found out I was gluten intolerant back in March 2010 I was on a whole foods detox diet. After two weeks I felt...

    I had my daughter at 35. Got pregnant immediately and had a very healthy pregnancy (except constant nausea). Immediately after she was 1 yr I started trying to get pregnant again. FOR YEARS. We even did a year of "outside help" including IVF. I was told I needed donor eggs and though we were heartbroken we just couldn't go on. Coincidentally this is...

    Jackay, I agree. And I shouldn't be too hard on him. He's the foodie in the house and he's saved me in restaurants when I ordered a gumbo...he's the one (or was the one) that knows how food's cooked. I'm getting pretty good though. And also, he's seen the vast difference in my energy level and (tmi) how I have no gas/stomach issues anymore, plus he's...
  20. srall
    Interesting. I was just going to post a question about if products with gluten are only harmful if swallowed. Good to know...sorry you are having a problem though.
  21. srall
    I have to be honest here. I found out I was gluten intolerant by doing a detox. That's a little "faddy" But oh do I feel better. It's life changing. But my husband will make comments like..."Oh, Stacey (me) and her special diet" when in the meantime I've been bedridden from being accidentally glutened, and years of health problems have corrected including...
  22. srall
    I think I am very nice when I order. :-) I was sort of making a joke about the huge paradigm shift it's been going from ordering anything and everything on the menu to having one or two options. For years my friends were so jealous that I could eat so much food and never gain weight...well now we know why. I just went off gluten this spring so it's very...

    Listen, I am such a PITA in restaurants these days I am always fearful someone's going to spit in my food. The most wonderful eating out experiences have been the two times the server was also gluten/dairy free, for whatever reason. Both took time to go over the menu with me and make suggestions and steer me away from things I would have assumed were safe...
  24. srall
    This question has been on my mind too. I just joined this board and wanted to ask this question, but assumed that it had already been posted by somebody else. In trying to make sense of all of this on my own, I saw an allergist in May not realizing there was a difference between being allergic to wheat and having an auto immune response. She did test...
  25. srall
    I have the same response. I have joint problems right now, knees especially which drives me crazy since I don't sit down during the day. I am sure mine happened eating out with friends last weekend. May I ask how long your symptoms usually last after you get glutened? I had a really bad experience in May where I was bed ridden for two weeks. This is...
