    Hello all, don't know if it's celiac disease related but I just got out of the hospital on Monday after being admitted with pneumonia and pleurisy. I still hurt, can't breathe well at times but feel a little better overall. I think my immune system has left the building, it's just been a very tough year.

    I get that every so often in both legs. I have to get up and walk around and it seems to help. Don't know if it's celiac disease related or not, but it sure is annoying.

    A bit of a mutt here too, Native American, Swedish, French and Jewish by my Grandfather (my sister and mother both have Crohn's disease which some claim is higher in Jewish folk). Dark hair (cept for the large amt of gray), green eyes and a round face, medium complexion.

    Jello/Kraft puddings are safe. When I have a sick stomach, warm tapioca pudding soothes like no other, and I eat the snak paks all the time.

    Bloating was a major symptom for me too. Going gluten-free has helped a lot but until I quit ingesting Aspartame I still had some bloating. I was drinking two and sometimes four bottles of diet soda a day with aspartame, since I switched to splenda flavored drinks (diet-rite cola) no more bloat. Might just be me but it's worth a try.

    Next time I have any medical procedures I am going to print off some info from the internet and take it with me. I forget others that don't have this disease don't have it on their minds 24/7 like I do. But...it's time they have a heads up and learn about it.

    I had a knee arthroscopy yesterday at the hospital's outpatient clinic. All went well, then as I was in the waking up process a nurse comes in with my chart in her hand that had a big red label on it stating GLUTEN INTOLERANCE. It was time for me to start drinking and eating, she says to me, would you like some toast, a bagel or muffin? In my drug induced...

    I would not cheat. I've only been gluten-free for about three weeks and have had a couple unintentional glutens slip in with the results being absolute misery. I had some very good days and want to keep em coming!

    I did something dumb the other night, made tacos .... used corn hard shells, checked the taco sauce and it was ok....forgot to check the seasoning packet - it must have had gluten because I have been sick for two days. My son at a pop tart and left crumbs on the counter, I brushed them into the garbage with my hand and now my finger has itchy bumps on it...

    Just before I was diagnosed I was in the ER with extreme pain, before they could do any testing they had to give me some pain killer IV, wish I knew what it was becasuse it really helped. It would be nice to have pill form on hand at home.

    I had a couple bagels and a sub sandwich one day before deciding to follow the gluten-free diet. Bagels didn't cause any trouble (that I knew of anyway) but the bread from the sandwich immediately inflamed my tongue and I got little bumps on it. That was the last time I had intentionally ingested gluten. Hopefully, it will be the last.

    I dont get dizzy, but if I smell a strong yeast smell from bread or even gluten-free bread it makes me gag. I used to love the smell of bread baking, not anymore.

    I would get checked .... sounds like most of the symptoms expressed here. Welcome and good luck.

    Hi, sorry to hear you are having such problems. I have have GERD and celiac disease. The last time I had an endoscopy the doc stretched my esophogus because I too was choking on everything. It did help for a while, but has returned so that I have trouble swallowing pills and even fluids. It does help if you take a drink of water before a bite of food...

    That's the kind of pain I had last time I was in the ER, before the final diagnosis of celiac disease. I had that kind of pain once before when I had a bladder infection with spasms, lasted about four to five hours and they think I passed a kidney stone. Might want to have a UA and be checked for an infection. Hurt like childbirth.

    I've had two and the last one a few months ago. The first one I felt nothing, they knocked me out good, but the last one I woke up during the procedure and tried to pull the tube out, that hurt. So, I would suggest advising your Doc that you want to be all the way out, and good luck, you'll do fine.

    Two chocolate chip bagels for breakfast and a Subway Club for lunch...and I remembered every minute of it for about three days!

    Thanks, I live in Waterloo and A & E is in every store.

    After having a couple bad days here recently, I made some tapioca pudding today....had a nice bowl of warm tapioca pudding. It really felt soothing and I think I have found a new comfort food.

    Thanks for all the help, I think it may be the dressing. I've had this chicken before and had no problems sooooo no more dressing. I just went to bite into a Milky Way and put it down to read the ingredients, yup.....processed with wheat flour, ah well .... I have sooooooooooooooo much to learn!

    I was just diagnosed a couple weeks ago with celiac disease. I was amazed at all the web sites relating to this illness, found this one and think I'll just stick here. Anyway, I've been reading labels and cooking at home instead of eating out and have been feeling a lot better until....the past two days. I fixed some frozen chicken breasts from Target...
