Greenling

Hi NoodleUnit and Wheelez, Sounds like we all hit rough patches at the same time and are now trying to get back into a routine! Recovery, I'm finding, is a long-term path to follow. I really did think I'd be back to normal by now, but I now realize that was naive. However, when I compare now to last year, I'm much better. Do you all feel the same...

Hi Jessica, I had this exact same problem when I went Gluten-free six months ago as my doctor recommended I look at all the products I use. I also wanted organic/natural products. So I have a few suggestions for you: Shampoos, Conditioners, Hairspray: Can't help you on hairspray, but for shampoo and conditioners, I suggest either "Avalon Organics...

Hi everyone, I hope that you're all doing well. Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth for a while. Work buried me, and I started having fatigue issues and cross-contamination issues (because of my nephew who's living with me this semester). Can't say that I felt horrible (like I did before), but I had no energy by the time I kept up with work...

This is an interesting thread, so thanks for posting it. My info: Age diagnosed- 41 Gluten free- 6 months (yea!) Recovery so far: 60-70% I cannot believe how much better I feel.

I can't say enough good things about "Whole Life Nutrition" (google or go to "wholelifenutrition dot net". I followed their elimination diet for 28 days (actually right before I was diagnosed with Celiac) and it was fantastically helpful (and gave me a 28-day headstart on going gluten-free). They explain quite a lot of detail online--they have both...

Just thought I'd drop in and report. I miss reading everyone's updates. Work is going well, but very busy, and I'm tired by the end of every day. Because of my work schedule (very heavy on Monday, Wednesday, Friday), I've had to move my workouts to the other four days. So I run and lift weights on Tuesday and Thursday, run on Saturday, and lift...

I take a generic form of thyroid replacement hormone early morning (around 5:30) and a Calcium + Magnesium supplement with dinner. I've never had any problems with depression from them. Gluten, on the other hand.... So, I think AVR's glutening hypothesis is a good one. Or it may be that you need more thyroid hormone replacement (if that's your med)--hypothyroidism...

Hi all, Thanks for the helpful suggestions and words of encouragement! I finally made it back to the gym today (first week of classes has been crazy!). Ran a 5-minute interval, and two 3-minutes at a good speed (better than before) and walked the rest. My running felt very relaxed, my breathing was good, and the heat intolerance was gone. But I didn...

Hi funnydoc! I was able to add dairy back in after 14 weeks gluten-free, so there is hope for you and regular ice cream.

Hi to both of you, Hope you're doing well. Where are you in your c25k adventure? NoodleUnit, has your cold gone away? I didn't get to work out at all last week. Work started for me again with orientation for our teaching assistants (whom I supervise). It was a shock to my body to go from working at home (mostly sitting and reading/writing)...

Hi, Hope you're both enjoying your workouts and your weekend. Wheeleez, hope you're feeling better as "that time" ends. Sounds like you're still getting in some good exercise. Are you staying with Week 4 or moving on to Week 5? NoodleUnit, I looked at Week 5 and just about swallowed my tongue--that's a big step up! I'm sorry to hear that your...

You know you're gluten free if you know the best prices and places to buy amaranth, quinoa and teff.

Just want to back up what you're saying about Dr. Murray and the Mayo Clinic 100%! I was there in May and finally got a diagnosis after many years of symptoms. Every person with whom I had contact was outstanding--caring, friendly, and willing to take time to listen. Dr. Murray was delightful and a wealth of information for me (as I had no idea that this...

Hi NoodleUnit and Wheeleezdryver, I hope you're both feeling better. It is definitely a good idea to rest rather than overdo. Otherwise, those bumps in the road to getting healthy can get bigger. Maybe extra stretching would be helpful? I finally have good news to report. Today I completed Week 4, Day 1 with a medium amount of difficulty. ...

Hi NoodleUnit, Thanks, it is a relief to know I'm healing (even if the side effects kind of drive me crazy). I think the weights would normally be a lot harder for someone to pick back up, but I've lifted for about 15 years. So even though I stopped doing them as often when I was super sick, I never stopped completely. Right now, they're easier for...
