    This is interesting to me. I too was a size 0 and am now gaining...i was on a gluten free diet only 2-3 weeks (started gluten again in prep for testing) but i didnt notice rapid weight loss (besides some bloat around belly)......does this mean it wont happen even when i'm gluten free? or does it just take time to adjust? soooo frustrating

    another gluten challenge question: I was on gluten and had all those horrible symtpons, then went gluten-free for 2-3 weeks, now I'm incorporating gluten again....will those 2-3 weeks be crucial? Will I need to go on the Challenge for a full 3 months? or will they not count against my gluten challenge that much as I have been eating gluten all my life...

    If so, I'm curious how long it took you to get back to your normal size. I went gluten free for 2-3 weeks and am not back on the gluten diet so I can be tested. I felt better in almost all regards while on the gluten-free diet - my distended bowels and bloate in the belly went away, but I did not lose weight during this time and my face was still swollen...

    I posted another string similar to this, but lately have noticed via photos and scale that I am now GAINING weight and my face is fuller (not just temporarily swelling up in my arms shoulders back, just a constant bloated look). No I am not a drinker or smoker I live a very healthy/active lifestyle and am so worn out from all of this

    This is very helpful - thank you all! I did a CAT scan and an gallstone was present - just one. So odd as they are linked to high cholesteral but I eat soooo healthy (whole foods, very little processed, fruits /veggies/lean meats are staples)

    I have been feeling bad for well over a year. My symptons have lately increased and I have been going for my doctor for quite some time now with no luck. My symptons at first were IBS-constipation but we have since felt that it is more than that. I have had an autoimmune disorder (currently in remission): Graves disease. So many of my symptons (noted...

    Could you have developed an allergy to soy? I have noticed it used in many gluten free items (so my beloved kind bars are now off limits to me, sniff sniff!) Or Diary? Try as hard as it is, to remove those 2 from your diet as well and see if you get any relief....soy and dairy are in pretty much everything as well so you'll have to be extra careful when...

    I'm new here but thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I'm currently on an elimintation diet and in the process of being formly diagnosed(who knows with what). One of my initial diagnois was/is IBS....my doc said surprisinly enough fruit/veggies are THE WORST for someone with IBS as the fiber is hard to break down etc. He suggested juices/smoothes to help...

    Hi This is an interesting topic....I relate in that I had issues in my teens as well that were pretty extreme. I have been thinking that it was probably a good thing I wasn't aware of this disease back then b/c it would have made the ED VERY easy to hide. As I have been trying an elimination diet to figure out what is causing my symptons it's made me...

    I haven't been diagnosed with anything at this point, but throwing up is something I've been doing about once or twice a week for the last year or so..since cutting out gluten I haven't had to once....hmmmmmm
  12. nuttmegs17
    Oh and one other question When you say to add gluten back into my diet prior to seeing the doc, how much gluten are we talking about? A serving every day? A serving every meal?
  13. nuttmegs17
    WOw that is interesting that you both said that...I mentioned the same concern to my current doc, and in fact before I went gluten-free and begged her for the blood test b/c of the exact reason you outlined above (neg test results)...I figured I could have the test, and then follow a gluten-free diet before I say him . However, she told me to elimintate...

    Hi i have had severe stomach pains for the last 3 years...my symptons are 1. gas and extreme bloating (to the point where - no exaggeration - I GO UP at least a size within the hour and have taken to only wearing skirts as I never know when i'm going to have an "Attack"..When it's really bad, my stomach is out far enough to mistake being pregnant!...
