    I have been gluten free for about 3 months now. I was good for the first few weeks then I started getting pain again. I tried everything the doctors threw at me and some stuff they didnt. Started doing some research and found out the Celiacs have a connection with hypochlorhydria (too little stomach acid). After poisoning myself with Anacids for months...

    I started my diet back in July. I struggled with the dizzyness for a few months until I started up on some B12 supplements among other vitamins I thought I would be deficient in. But at the same time I started eliminating other things that I thought were hindering my progress. Soy and Milk for starters. I still had cheese without much reaction so I dont...

    Ok, so I have been trying to figure out this weight thing ever since self Dxing myself as a Celiac without freaking out. I started my Gluten Free diet back in July after a couple of weeks of being really sick. I have had most of my symptoms get better with the exception of what I believe to be a lack of stomach acid. I have been fighting the big C for...

    Got word from the company that it is Gluten free. Must be getting my reaction from something else. Note that they instructed me to go to Celiac.com for more information. ha ha.....duh.

    So I have been doing farely well as far as my headaches and dizzyness goes. I have been avoiding Soy and Milk for a while now. Well yesterday I ate some Organic Prarie Jerky which isnt labelled to have soy but I figured it does. I also at some boyscout popcorn which is labelled to contain soy. I went through the rest of the day without much reaction...

    I dont usually have any type of DH issues (knocks on wood). Recently I started using Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 dry scalp shampoo and I seem to be getting soars and blisters on my scalp. I tried to do some research within the board but only found topics on the regular head and shoulders. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the 2 in 1 type...

    I have been battling some serious bloating and stomach inflamation the past few weeks and nothing has been able to help. Went to the Vitamin shop monday and bought me some Activated Charcoal, some Ginger, and some Golden Seal root tablets. Ive been an a minimal dosage of all three the past few days and I have felt significantly better. The abdominal pain...

    Thank you, I had read that somewhere as well. I also heard that prolonged use of it can cause B12 problems. I tried taking my dose this morning first thing just to make sure it was on an empty stomach, lets see if I feel the difference.

    Thank you for your reply, I agree, im not saying I have a healthy GB, but I also dont think its where my pain is coming from 100%. I also dont think its what needs the attention at the time. Right now I just wanna stay Gluten free and try to get these deficiencies worked out. I just gotta find that strength inside of me to stick with it and let myself...

    Yeah, I dont plan on staying on the Omep for too long, maybe ill just use what was prescribed which is one refill. The last doc that I went to go see seemed bugged when I mentioned the MMA test for B12. I think he actually googled it when I was in the room with him. He said, "let me look that up" when I mentioned it. Are you kidding me? At that point...

    Exactly, I by no means am even thinking of surgery at this point. The thing is that I dont even believe that the pain I have is coming from the gallbladder. I have purposely tried eating some fattier/greasy type "gluten free" foods and have not noticed any change whatsoever. The only thing that makes sense to me at this point is gluten intolerance, and...

    I was wondering if anyone here can help me shed some light on my Hida scan results. I know most of you here are not Docs but I trust many of you more than I do the MDs at this point. I havent been officially diagnosed but after 4 months of pain and suffering, trips to the ER and urgent care, I still havent been able to get a straight answer from anyone...

    Can some of you tell me what your symptoms were?

    Been gluten free now for three weeks. I've been really sick for a few months with all the common symptoms you read about on this site. All of a sudden tonight I feel great, no pain, no headaches, this wierd light feeling overcame me. Parts of my body feel different but not in a bad way. Great right? Wrong. I started having an anxiety attack. I feel...

    This is very true. When I got sick and before I knew what was wrong with me, my mother gave me pepperming tea and it really helped.

    I hear ya Sammy, Im going on my 15th day as well. Im finding that the diet is not all that difficult, the problem I am having is getting discouraged with the results. Similar to you I still have a lot of gas, and some bloating. The headaches are what really bring me down. They are nowhere as severe as they were when I found out but I was hoping that...

    Thank you Takala, thats a lot to try to take in. I guess this whole thing is more confusing than anything. Im going to stick with my Gluten free diet for a while and see how I feel. With what I have gone through in the past few months I just want to get healthy. I might not know exactly what is wrong with me but I do know that I'm about 10 days into...

    Im new to this forum and I must say I was so happy that I found it. I was thinking maybe this would be a good place to start with some questions. Before I start out with whats happening to me, lets start out with a brief history. Im a hispanic male, 33 years old. I was raised in a household where consuming gluten was an every day thing. Ive always...
