First of all, congratulations! It's great that you are feeling so much better I'm the same exact way, the second I discontinue eating gluten things get so much better, gastrointestinally and neurologically. But I still wonder if my brain is tricking me sometimes. Do I feel better not eating gluten because I expect to feel better? I don't know, but it...

I have a copper IUD, and I love it! I've had it for 3 months, and my cramps did return again at the beginning, but they've disappeared. It's possible that it'll make your cramping worse, but a lot of people find that after the first few months it levels off to where you were at before. It affects everyone differently, so the only way to know for sure is to...

Hello! I might be able to help out with a few of your questions As far as meals go, I highly recommend quinoa dishes... lots of protein and fiber! It can be used in just about any dish that calls for rice (which is a great option too). Have you tried any gluten-free pasta? Those make a very easy meal, when accompanied by sauce and vegetables!

I agree, this is all incredibly comforting to read! I went gluten-free for a month, and toward the end noticed a decrease in my depression for the first time in quite a while... it was so exciting!

Thank you so much for the information, that's very helpful!

I'm seeing an allergist next week, and am planning to request an ELISA allergy test. My question is, do you need to have all of the foods that you expect to react to in your system? I've been eating gluten again, but still avoiding dairy. Should I put dairy back in until the test? I hope this isn't a totally unnecessary question, but I don't know how...

Are we talkin' the "I never go, ever" constipation or the "I go sometimes but it takes 30 minutes and is more a form of cardio workout than excretion"? It shouldn't be easier to run three miles than it is to poop, right?! Foo. I'm with all of you... I went off gluten for a month and I actually became regular for the first time in my whole life, after...

Thank you both for your help!

Hello! After years of stomach problems, I decided to try and solve them by changing my diet. I lessened my gluten intake for a while, avoiding those foods because I felt lousy after eating them. About three or four weeks ago, I decided to go gluten-free (more or less... I didn't use exclusively certified gluten-free products, so I must have gotten some)....
