    Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your time. I am planning on removing milk and other dairy (I just miss my skim milk!) for a while; perhaps I can re-test at the end of the year. But I do want to keep the whey protein powder if I can. If I don't notice a reaction to it, can I assume all is well with the whey protein powder? or does it cause a hidden...

    Okay, that makes sense. Have your symptoms cleared up in those five months?

    I'd appreciate input from those of you who have lactose intolerance/eat dairy-free. I was diagnosed three weeks ago with Celiac, but have been eating Gluten-free for 8 weeks. I'm now trying to determine if I'm processing dairy okay or if I should eliminate it for a while (I was dairy-free for the first four week, then added it back in). I seem to react...

    I'm new to Celiac (diagnosed three weeks ago), so I think you'll get more experienced opinions, but I thought I'd share what my doctor told me (I was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic, so I trust him!). He said the endoscopy was the "gold standard" for diagnosis. Since Celiac is genetic, he suggested that my siblings should have an endoscopy even if their bloodwork...

    Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to listen to my body and not push so hard (I need to make #2 my mantra or stamp it on my forehead). This weekend has been much more successful in that respect. It's also helped to track the nutrients in my food and up my protein intake. Baby steps.... I'll figure this out slowly, but surely. Good luck to you--three...

    I just realized that I didn't comment on this and it really spoke to me. One of the lessons I learned most strongly over the last ten years (while I had my chronic fever and other symptoms) was "how to be sick." On the bright side, I learned to self-care (good nutrition, lots of sleep, regular exercise as consistently as possible) in order to function while...

    I am sorry to hear about the neuropathy as that has to be very frustrating. I was starting to have the very beginnings of that right before I went Gluten-free (I had no idea why my toes and fingers were randomly tingling). I hope that it continues to fade and your hands get back to normal. I think Tai Chi will be good exercise in many ways; I have a friend...

    This happens to me as well. My doctor also told me that it's perfectly normal (your body's actually able to mount a protest now!). While it's not enjoyable at all, I think of it as a positive sign of healing (and incentive to stay Gluten-free).

    Hi NoodleUnit, Thank you for the additional info--it helped me piece things together. In the past, I've had symptoms of "overtraining" (and that I now think were due to the Celiac). But this helps me put in perspective my need for "rest" days and gives me ideas on how to schedule my workouts. It sounds like your partner's running really improved ...

    Thanks, NoodleUnit, for your reply. I understand exactly what you mean about things flaring up again. I just had that happen in the last ten days, so I worry I'm overdoing it (but I don't seem to be doing that much). I know that rest is important (and I sleep long and well at night), but I'd be very interested in hearing more details about what your partner...

    Hi all, I was just diagnosed last week (high tTG and positive endoscopy) and I'm very much trying to figure out the "recovery" aspect of Celiac. I feel like I'm getting a handle on the diet (I've been gluten-free for 5 weeks now, doing a whole foods approach), but am a bit lost at the gym. My primary symptoms were, strangely, a chronic fever and cough...
