ARCHIVED Symptoms That Go Away
discouragedmomof5 replied to Lesliean's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
What is the best way to learn about gluten-free foods and hidden sources of Gluten. My diet is so limited right now. I have also develpoed a lactose intolerance, small amounts aren't so bad, like I can tolerate half and half but never milk or icecream, heavy cream puts me in bed with stomach pain. I have read the places here on this site that are posted... -

ARCHIVED Confused About Symptoms And Testing
discouragedmomof5 replied to discouragedmomof5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We have decided to not have the biopsy. After reintroducing gluten back this week I have felt horrible, I do not need another test to tell me what I already know, nor can my body handle gluten anymore. It is personally not worth it to me to continue to feel as bad as I have. If by chance my stomach problems etc. do not begin to improve in the next few months... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms That Go Away
discouragedmomof5 replied to Lesliean's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for your input. I too have an almost constant pain in my abdomon. I am a little overwhelmed that gluten seems to be in everything, but on the same note I am sure that once we get the hang of this it won't be so difficult. Most importantly I am really really excited to see what health problems go away once I become gluten-free. I don't know how to... -
I have encountered so many doctors over the last nine years, some of which think I am crazy and others who regretfully inform me that there is nothing that they can do for me. I had a neck and back injury nine years ago which have led to migraines, neck pain, and now the host of celiac disorders. For the last year I have been going from doctor to doctor...

ARCHIVED Symptoms That Go Away

I read your post about length of periods. I have had unpredictable cycles and constant PMs I think. Would you mind sharing your cycle problems. How long were you off gluten before you started feeling better? -
ARCHIVED Stress And Celiac
discouragedmomof5 replied to discouragedmomof5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thank you I am just trying to make sense of all of this. It is so discouraging when we have to push doctors so hard to get help- fortunately this time a doctor took me seriously. -
ARCHIVED Stress And Celiac
discouragedmomof5 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Does anyone know what the link is between stress and celiac? I understand that celiac is an autoimmune disease, is it that our body becomes so overloaded? What does pregnancy have to do with it? Thanks! -
ARCHIVED Confused About Symptoms And Testing
discouragedmomof5 replied to discouragedmomof5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you all for your help. I cannot begin to tell you all how much of a relief it has been to read your stories and finally find someone that can relate to me. I think that feeling so isolated has been more overwhelming than feeling bad all of the time. I have known for quite some time that wheat and dairy bother me, the two combined kill me. Last night... -
ARCHIVED Confused About Symptoms And Testing
discouragedmomof5 replied to discouragedmomof5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi there again! What is an ND? What are GMO wheat products? In response, I eat primarily organic foods- silly me didn't think that any of that could be harmful to me since it was organic. Wow! so much to absorb. I have five children whose lives.along with my husbands have been severely altered by my health over the last nine years. I need to learn more... -
ARCHIVED Confused About Symptoms And Testing

Hello All my name is Anne. I have had health problems for the past nine years. Over the last year I have had an increase in migraines, a more apparent intolerance to dairy and I truly believe Gluten. In the last two weeks I have been diagnosed with anemia and hypothyroidism. I had an incredible hard time getting my doctor to even buy into a possibility of...
