I had the same reaction, I think it is from the soy in the broth. I don't really eat soy usually, so I was not aware that this was a problem, but I am sure considering it now.

I can definitely sympathize! I have been going to the Drs for 3 years. After the first year they just gave up saying they don't know what's wrong with me. Then I learned about the gluten thing, tried that and started feeling a little better. I told them about it but when the blood test came back negative, and I was crying in the office when talking about...

Christopher, I understand your relief to get any diagnosis at all, and your frustration to have to change your life in this major way. I just graduated college and I find it difficult to eat our very often. I am not sure what the markets in Texas offer, but you can still get your pastas and breakfast bars (like nutrigrain bars) in gluten free versions,...

Vampire Panda, I almost feel like I was meant to read this. I was just searching "feel weak like starving" to see other people's stories and hopefully gain hope from those who are feeling better. And I found this which was actually written recently and is SO similar to me! I have also not been diagnosed celiac yet. I have had odd things going on and finally...

I have not had my period for three years. The doctors never knew why, despite their tests. At that point I also started to lose weight and then all of a sudden got outrageously hungry all the time no matter what I ate and gained a lot of weight. So i have been underweight, then gaining fifty pounds, up to the normal range for my height, and still no period...

Wow, it is insane I have almost the same exact thing. Well literally the same exact except for the itchy skin. What was your result? I'm still waiting to be tested.

Well, I just got back from the ER, and like any odd medical symptom I get, I check it on here to see if I'm alone or it might be related to Celiac. Last night after dinner, I started to feel short of breath, exactly like some of you have said, in which it feels like I have to take constant big breaths just to feel like my lungs are getting the air. It felt...

I am having the same experience. Today will be day one of no gluten-- if i can make it. I just feel so hungry and no amount of food will fill me so i just binge. I know that gluten is the culprit so I decide to start the next day by going gluten free, and since it will be for the rest of my life, i decide to let "today" be my last day of enjoyment, but then...

I get the same thing with grains, including corn. I just yesterday realized that my problem is with all starches though, including beans and rice. Is this the same for you? I am thinking I will need to limit my carb consumption to only monosaccharides--- the kind we can easily digest.

I have recently discovered that I have a reaction to corn as well. I found out that there is guar gum in corn tortillas, so that might be part of it, but even if I buy corn flour there is a reaction, so I think it's more. Do you have problems with any other starches?

Hey Rachel, I have kind of the same thing happening with me for a couple years now. The blood test came back as negative but I still have all the other symptoms and the doctor isn't sure one way or the other. He justs says that since my symptoms are better when I don't eat gluten, to just STOP eating it. Easier said than done. I do the same thing as you...

The past couple of years have been a rollercoaster for me. It started by me losing my period (at age 20) and then losing a lot of weight (and I was thin to begin with). Then like a boomerang I started getting hungry all the time. I was constantly eating and couldn't even sleep because I would have to eat all night just to keep up. If I did sleep it would...
