    I am over the initial shock and the initial confusion. I finally managed to get gluten out of my diet for a while, and I feel better, but not great. I no longer get muscle cramps, but my legs and feet feel weird when I am trying to sleep. I can't quite describe it. Just sort of uncomfortable. No pain, just maybe like my skin is on too tight or something...

    I am a newbie too, but maybe 3 or 4 months. I didn't get quite as upset as you, but I wasn't in finals week either. It is a big deal, though. It's not "just food." Food is a major part of everyone's life. It's how we reward ourselves, socialize, take a break, etc. It takes longer to shop, longer to cook, longer to clean up (because you don't have...

    I am still fairly new at this. My record for staying gluten-free is 13 days in a row without being sick. When I eat the wrong thing, I have all the symptoms you listed. I have trouble waking up, staying awake, functioning mentally, heart palpitations (especially when I am lying down), and I turn into an absolute beast for about 24-36 hours. I got very...

    You should get a biopsy of your mouth. I didn't know I had celiacs until I woke up one morning with the inside of my mouth all enflamed. Long-story-short... They did a biopsy, discovered I had Oral Lichen Planus, which is chronic, incurable, and only occurs in people whose immune system is compromised. That promted a lot of tests which finally resulted...

    ARCHIVED Test For Gluten In Food

    foodphobic posted a topic in Doctors

    Hi: I just received an update from CSA, and the first topic was a home test kit for gluten. I got really interested until I read the rest and realized it was a home test kit for gluten intolerance. I don't need that. I already know I have it. But that got me thinking. I have been diagnosed for a few months now, and as yet, I have not been tempted...

    In response to aljf: I don't think it's a lack of carbs causing my symptoms. Unfortunately, when I started eating all the rice-based stuff, my fasting blood sugar went from normal to 105 in about 4 weeks and 113 in another couple of weeks, which alarmed my doctor. So, I cut way back on the sweets, and rice-based foods, because rice is a simple carb and...

    Gee! I posted yesterday because I was frustrated. I was trying so hard to be gluten-free, and still ate something that made me sick. I haven't even considered going off the wagon on purpose yet, because I can't seem to figure out how to stay on the darned thing. However, my biggest adjustment has also been time. I am single with lots of commitments...

    To everyone who responded, thanks. I was having a bad celiac disease day yesterday. I ate nothing but veggies and a little yogurt yesterday and today I am feeling better. I'll try to respond to everyone. I thought lactose intollerant at first, and went to all veggies until I felt great, and the next day, I dumped so much dairy into my diet, I figured...

    I was diagnosed in February, and since then, I have tried so hard to get this diet thing sorted out. But the longest I have gone without feeling sick was just short of 2 weeks. I am worried because my symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better, and the rice-based food shoots my blood sugar up so that they are starting to worry that I am becoming...
