Hi there, I can sympathize with the pain your teen is feeling. I had the same sharp pain in my ribcage/chest area. It's finally gone away after 3 months gluten free. I just wanted to suggest something to you about the recovery process that may help it proceed faster. As you know, the villi in the small intestine are responsible for nutrient absorption...

I got your reply. CassP is giving you good advice also, those foods are staples in my diet. Good luck with your recovery.

Hey there, Headaches are definitely normal during the first couple of weeks, especially during the first week. Your body is detoxifying itself and that can lead to a lot of symptoms until you finally get over that hump. During my first week of gluten free I had a rollercoaster ride of symptoms but most went away shortly after. Also, remember that everyone...

Mark, Thanks for your reply! I have been gluten free for 1 month now and feeling so much better. My only complaints these days are some bloating and shortness of breath (which is probably caused by the bloating). My diarrhea has passed and I'm back on track with my stool quality. I just had had my orientation week for dental school which was 4 days...

Hey, I've been gluten free for about 3 weeks and I still feel a little nauseous at times. I'm taking vit b6, b12, calcium, vit D, Magnesium, Zinc, Fe, omega 3,6,9 and probiotics. Your body has been suffering malabsorption for some time and it will speed your recovery time to supplement with vitamins and minerals. Try and find options that are easily...

Thanks for the support! I have been feeling so much better these days and I started taking a liquid iron supplement, hoping it will boost energy. I've eliminated the nightshades already, along with dairy and soy. I don't think you need an MD to tell you that you have celiac disease, gluten free is good for you and good for me!

I've been gluten free for 3 weeks also and it feels great. Congratulations on gaining 4 pounds. Jakey

Mushroom- Thanks so much for your response, it means a lot to me. Sometimes you just feel alone going through these things and it's nice to hear from somebody else who has experienced the similar things. I've learned from reading other posts on this forum that my journey hasn't been as difficult as many others, yourself included, and I remind myself of...

Background: I have been in good health most of my life and my digestive/neurological issues didn't start until recently...I'm 25. I have an honours degree in physiology and immunology and I'm currently in dental school (I have some backround in medicine is what i'm getting at). The earliest symptom of my health problem that I can remember started in highschool...
