ARCHIVED Rough Cracked Skin On Fingertips
keithceliac2010 replied to Rickbscuba's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome Rickscuba!! Yes, I can definitely relate to the cracked heals issue. I suffered from terrible rough and cracking skin all over my feet(not just limited to my heals) Of main concern was the dry cracking on my toes. In fact, the cracks went so deep(almost to my bone) that I developed ulcers on my toes, which led to infection, which in turn led to amputation... -
ARCHIVED Finally Diagnosised With Celiac's
keithceliac2010 replied to cahill's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am happy for you. Your feelings are similar to those which I had 2 months ago. I went 30+ years being misdiagnosed and I don't have much faith in the medical system. In fact, it was my wife, who spent countless hours researching my symptoms online; she was the one who diagnosed my celiac-NOT A DOCTOR!! Yes, I had the same feelings you did as well. Some... -
ARCHIVED Chronic Constipation... Is It Celiac's?
keithceliac2010 replied to MStalnaker1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I, like you, suffered from chronic constip. Usually only went one time a week and that was usually diarrhea. Chronic stomach issues for 30+ years and none of my doctors EVER suggested gluten issues/celiac disease!!!. I drank Pepto-Bismol and Immodium AD regularly to deal with my symptoms. After observing all my symptoms, my wife concluded I was gluten intolerant... -
ARCHIVED Im New To This Whole Gluten-Free Thing. Any Advice?
keithceliac2010 replied to SusieQ's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Welcome SusieQ. The same thing happens to me within an hour or 2 after I accidentally consume gluten(achy joints, grumpy mood, brain fog, stomach issues)-Sometimes the side effects can last a few days from my personal experience but they do eventually go away and I get back to normal again. I am glad to see someone learning about gluten intolerance at such... -
ARCHIVED Brain Fog
keithceliac2010 replied to WinterSong's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey Jessica. Sounds like the same type of brainfog that I experienced for many years, except mine was all the time. Almost got fired from work as a result(I am in telephone customer service so when you forget what you are talking about with a customer they are much less forgiving than friends would be-LOL!!) My brain fog subsided within 48-72 hours of going... -

ARCHIVED When Do I Start Feeling Better Again?
keithceliac2010 replied to katiekay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, getting glutened after being gluten-free for a while is no fun. I have only bee gluten-free for 5 weeks or so. After 3 weeks of going gluten-free, i got accidentally glutened and it knocked me down flat on my back for 48-72 hours. Had to just sleep it off. To me it was a good reminder that gluten really is like poison to my system, and that incident... -

ARCHIVED Kidney Stones Linked To Celiac Disease?
keithceliac2010 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am the only one in my family that has been diagnosed with Celiac. I am 99.9% positive that others in my family do have gluten intolerance since they still have the same symptoms as I had before going gluten-free. My father has most all of the symptoms that I had when I was eating gluten(bloating, IBS,chronic fatigue,achy joints,etc), but to date he has... -
ARCHIVED Weight Loss
keithceliac2010 replied to sbloom's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been gluten-free for about 5 weeks. I have lost 20-25 lbs so far. But most importantly, my stomach bloating has subsided. My pants are falling down!!!! lol. Still wearing my 46 waist pants, only because I have not been shopping yet. Gonna wait and see how much I lose before I buy new clothes. If I went shopping today looks like I would fit in a 42... -
ARCHIVED Depression And Celiac
keithceliac2010 replied to Lucydesi's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
WOW!!!! Thanks to all of you who can speak freely and candidly about the dark secrets of depression. No one(including myself) has ever been able to put a finger on my depression or help with the desparate feelings. I have seen several psychiatrist over the last 15 years and had several changes in anti-depressant medication, and nothing has come near to changing... -
Hi! Saw one of your posts re: your wife and her not feeling so well lately. I just thought I'd ask: has there been construction around her lately? A lot of construction materials contain gluten, and if the dust (like drywall or sawdust from plywood) is in the air, it's often in high enough concentration to be breathed in, ingested a bit, and give her a reaction. Just thought I'd...

ARCHIVED Need Answers!
keithceliac2010 replied to shericeliac2010's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hang in their Sheri. I feel your pain. Had it for decades. Even though we can't be together everyday and everynite, you are still in my heart. It does not seem fair that you diagnosed me, and after 4 weeks my body and mind have been transformed and my symptoms have disappeared. On the other hand, it seems we have switch bodies(and minds). Now it seems that... -

ARCHIVED Throat Ulcers
keithceliac2010 replied to LivesIntheSun's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Interesting topic. I am only 4 weeks gluten-free, but many of my physical and mental problems have vanished. I have spent the last 3 weeks looking for symptoms I had growing up to see just how long this disease has been present in my life. Your blog sparked my memory again. As a child even into early adulthood I used to get multiple mouth ulcers(sometimes... -

ARCHIVED Severe Depression/ Thyroid Issues Linked To Celiac Disease?
keithceliac2010 replied to keithceliac2010's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you to everyone who responded to my questions about thyroid and depression issues and medications. I will definitely speak with my healthcare providers before making a decision to get off my meds. This is kinda a catch 22 though, because I do not have faith in these doctors who have seen me for my various ailments including thyroid and depression. I... -

ARCHIVED Ramsey Hunt Syndrome
keithceliac2010 replied to wowzer's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I cannot say I have heard of this however, I have personal experience with the subject. I was diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome about 6 years ago. Without a doubt was the most painful thing I have ever endured in my life. The left side of my face went paralyzed and entire face drooped. It did get somewhat better but left side of face is still paralyzed...
