    Or GROW INTO an allergy...LOL...I used to eat blueberries as a kid all the time! Now as an adult I get stomache Hives,(its like quarter sized bee stings in my stomache that hurt very much...Gluten does the same thing to me ,only it affects the entire intestinal tract and the sores are smaller!)Where as my twelve yr. old USED to have trouble with milk ,but...

    I totaly agree with the others! But would like to out out something interesting that happened to me! Before I was diagnosed...We thought I had MS (untill the MRI) and I was SURE I was going through menapause( I had allmost ALL of the symptoms for BOTH which is one of the reasons this is ALSO refered to as a MIMICING deseise)..But for the sake of conversation...

    I sooooo agreee!!!! BRAVO! Also....You know GUYS....theres allways the negitive button. I overstepped once when I was first diagnosed...but the moderators sure put me if my place! I was sooo offended by what someone had done that I said something...and was told that it was a miss understanding.But being still glutened and irritable and very emotoonal ....

    Hey cinnimon girl...You don't have to give up chocolate just yet! I was wondering if you were eating milk or dark chocolate...? I found personally that milk chocolate and any big comerchal chocolate including herseys special DARK, gave me a stomache ache and pains in my head ,but that I could eat dark chocolate if it came from trader joes or other health...

    This is why I love this site....I am soooo not alone !!!LOL It's nice when you live in a world/house of perfectionists (non celiacs) to see other people make simular mistakes and have people who con relate....and not think your a blazing idiot...or that your just using your disease as an excuse because THEY think no one can be THAT stupid!!! BRAIN FOG...

    Of course the "Tests " could be wrong...A lot of people here have had negitive or false results...listen to your body...best advise!!! follow your heart and do whatever makes YOU feel better...bad stomache ache after eating gluten? yeah...sure theres no problem!!!
  11. cougie23
    AMEN...THANKYOU...finally someone who understands what I'm saying!!! Also I'd like to point out that if you can SMELL it ,Gluten molicules are entering in through your NOSE!! so you don't nesasarily have to INGEST it to have interaction with your mucus membranes....which makes more sense than geting it in your mouth...just saying! But I still stand...

    Hi Ironcross...welcome to the community!!! How long ago did you find out?Have you started gluten free yet? It will take awhile for everything to get out of your system..some days even the good stuff will upset you..you have an advantage being a fittness theripist though...you must allready be eating pretty healthy! just watch for those hidden glutens!...

    You know the funny/sad thing is how long we go without knowing! Looking back with the knowlage I have now...I've had symtoms since the age of 6 at least....(elementry school age children should not be passing out for no reason, or having debilitating migraines for no reason...blood tests and cat scans allways came up negitive...maybe a simple allergy test...

    Great Ideas...but remembering the password wasn't the problem! It kept telling me my password was invalad...but it was the same one I allways use! So I tried the "I forgot password'...that just told me I was using the correct one but still wouldn't let me in! Then I tried the" get a new password."..3 times (this was friday)...by monday I tried the "this...

    I hear you about the sugar...Google "the health benifits of dates"! I have been eating dates....they are very sweet and satisfing...they heal the intestines..have lots of fiber...and are amazing for the intestinal tract...not to mention the vitemens and antioxidents! Not to mention NATUTAL...the key to a GOOD celiacs diet is staying away from PROSSESED...

    Just a reminder- Juice your greens yourself...the greendrinks in the stores(even the healthy ones) have gluten in them...their one of the few health drinks that do! Hang in there! (naked juice, green machine,,ect.,ect.)

Celiacs...

    I know its hurtful...the way people react...but keep in mind, in the last 10 years this desiease has gone from nobody understanding/ hearing about it ,to common topic! more and more people are being diagnosed( instead of misdiagnosed) and more people know about it! My local icecream man knows about it and so does the mail man! More food is avalible to us...
  25. cougie23
    Hi mike, Just want to mention...celiacs can't do dairy at first! due to damage of the villi in your intestinal lining...also a lot of us develope an intolerants as well. I noticed that when I stopped gluten and dairy the brain fog went away...but when I cheated and had some icecream...massive brain fog!!! not to mention severe diarhea and muscle pain,headache...
