  1. Hey everyone, I'm failing on the gluten free diet. I have no will power. When I don't eat it I feel soooo much better but why can't I stop? I'm looking for some lunch ideas. I work in a small office with about 10 other girls and we have a bad habit of ordering lunch out everyday. I've tried to order just salads but always end up getting glutened from them...
  2. Thank you all for your kind words and support. It really helps to know that I'm not the only one going through this. I just went to my doctor today and was explaining to her about how I feel. I told her that I felt much better being off the gluten but its so hard to stick with it. Her reply was "well I don't know if you have to go overboard with it, just...
  3. After being gluten free for almost two months I felt so much better. So why would I not want to stick with it? I'm ashamed of myself. My family has listened to me complain for years about not feeling well. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, thyroid disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. But guess what?....after being gluten free a lot of my symptoms disappeared...
  4. Hey Everyone! I'm so happy to be a member. What a great site! :)

  5. Hey Everyone, I live in Bedford County and work in Blair County
  6. I couldn't agree more! I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My family doctor sent me to a Fibro specialist three hours from where I live. The information that I got from the specialist shocked me...her exact words.."Fibromyalgia is something you will have for the rest of your life so you are just going to have to learn to deal...
  7. Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I've been going through the same emotions as you. My situation is a little different because I was actually relieved to know what was causing all my problems. That doesn't mean that I was happy about a lifestyle change though. I just started eating gluten free within the past month. Before that I...
  8. Bottom line--Yes the fatigue is caused by gluten. You're symptoms are real. It's not all in your head. Thanks so much for your reply. It's great to know there is hope!!
  9. Eatmeat4good, You really just made my day! It's so helpful to know that I'm not alone. I'm looking forward to hopefully more energy, less fatigue, and making memories with my family instead of sleeping my life away
  10. From the moment I stopped putting gluten filled foods in my mouth my stomach stopped bloating. Could this be? After 2 years of suffering and feeling horrible. After many tests with many different doctors looking at me like I had two heads. Of course though I thought maybe it was just a fluke. Since I had negative blood test and negative biopsy. So..my daughter...
  11. So...I have been gluten free for 8 days now and I feel a tremendous difference! I actually wake up feeling refreshed instead of feeling like I was hit by a truck in my sleep. I have ZERO abdominal bloating, my muscles don't ache, I could go on and on!! Very exciting! My first question is... I called my doctor to find out if he took biopsies when I had...
  12. Thank you so much for sharing this lists of snacks. I was starting to panic a little because I'm also new and I had no idea that I could eat these things! Now I'll know where to turn in a pinch when I'm starving at work Thanks!!
  13. Dear Mushroom, Thank you so much for all the information! There is no question that I am starting a Gluten free diet today. I have nothing to lose! I need to do some further research because I understand that gluten can be "hidden" in things. Also, after reading some other posts I understand that sometimes you actually feel worse for a little while when...
  14. I am brand new and I'm so thankful to have found this site. Forgive me if my post shows up twice. I had it all typed once and then it disappeared! I am welcome to any comments or suggestions. Please help! Here is my story... I'm 38 years old and for 2 years now I have been dealing with an array of problems. I am always very tired and have zero energy. It...
  15. I am so thrilled that I came upon your post! I have been having a lot of the same issues as you have and have been wondering myself if I should go ahead and try a gluten free diet. After reading your post, I too have decided to go gluten free. I'm sure it will be difficult to get used to and I know that gluten is hidden in a lot of things. My biggest problem...
