About Me

2004 - milk intolerance

2005 - diagnosed IBS

2006 - GI refused to investigate, said the procedure to check my stomach was quite uncomfortable and told me it was a waste of time as I was just suffering from stress, I went away with my tail between my legs, he really made me feel like a fool.

2009 - symptoms so bad I had to stop work - diagnosed with Anxiety???!!!

2010 - elimination diet...wheat caused swollen tongue, sore throat, mild cough, dry mouth, increased thirst, teeth/jaw knumbness, difficulty breathing, light-headed, face pain, sinusitus, light/sound sensitivity, joint pain, stiffness, pins and needles, stomach tightness & related tummy problems, low-stamina, muscle-weakness, cold extremities, balance issues, depression, un-clear thinking, difficulty walking and feeling spaced-out.

2011 - taking Celiac blood test after 4 weeks eating gluten, my boyfriend doesn't care if the test is negative, he's seen the difference in me when I'm wheat free and will support my decision to remain wheat free, he is a blessing...I love you very much Dan :)

But I now realise...

    That's very true, thankyou, I'm not sure what planet I've been on recently, I feel that I'm actually not sure why I need to prove anything, it may be, and don't laugh, but my mother is very, well, she know's everything and everybody else knows nothing, and I think maybe I am still feel a little scared of her wrath even though I'm nearly 40 I choose...

    Hiya, I have similar problems, I am trying to work out how to overcome the problem of not wanting to eat anything at all and I think I'm going to try and make a really cool cooked breakfast meal, made from things that I can eat, but aren't traditional breakfast foods, maybe fried potatoes, tomatoes, beans, egg...stuff thats yummy and will help me feel...

    Hi Guys, I'm Deanna from the UK and have a question for you I am 100% sure that I have a problem with wheat, but I am nervous that my Celiac blood test will come back negative, although I know from experience that I will need to avoid gluten, I am worried about how I explain to my family that I can't eat wheat etc when they ask me 'are you a Celiac...
