    I could just picture you biting into your piece of heaven. You know, one thing (out of the many) that I'm learning is it's the small things that were once taken for granted that come to be special. Happy cheese eating.

    That must have been a heaven sent moment, biting into the Cheddar. I kind of stopped drinking milk when I had my kids (save the milk for the kids!) and totally fell out of the habit of drinking it even after they grew up and moved away. Cheese was my only dairy source. I'm assuming the stomach can't handle the proteins in dairy because of the...

    That is a possibility that I never considered to tell you the truth. I love cheese too but had cut it out of my eating habits in the past year because whenever I would eat it, my ankles, hands and face would puff up from water retention the next day. I was assuming it was the salt though and have tried to eliminate most of salt/processed foods from my diet...

    I'm on gluten right now in preparation for testing and the super sensitivity to sound is a huge factor for me. Water running, vehicular traffic, voices over the telephone, floor boards creaking...all of them and more make me cringe. In addition I have vertigo, balance problems and total exhaustion. If I am under flourescent lights, this seems to trigger...

    I always get swollen legs, hands, face and my left eye sags. I put this down to salt intake as it always happened the day after I ate salty foods.

    That's actually what my neurologist said when I brought up celiac as a possible cause to my problems. In effect his words were, "wow. I never thought of that but you could be right. It's your lucky day cause alot of doctors havent even heard of gluten ataxia as its on the fringes of medical research yet. The only reason I know of it is my sister who had...

    Hello Meegan, My brother was diagnosed wiith MS when he was thirty five. He has the steady decline progession one. Within the first year he had changed his diet to mostly to a raw food diet but kept cooked chicken in for the protein. After almost fifteen years, he's still able to walk albeit it's very difficult for him at times. I acutally think its...

    Nah, don't give up on it yet. Give it a few more weeks to let your body re-adjust. Regarding the salt, once you get into it, your tastebuds acclimatize and things don't taste bland nor do you miss tasting the salt. There's a period of adjustment where you go, "wow, this tastes like nothing without salt!" but that disappears eventually and you begin to...

    Unhappy Coeliac, I'm on gluten right now in preparation to be tested for celiac but during the summer when I started to suspect that my ataxia, vertigo, tinnitus, exhaustion were gluten related, I eliminated it from my diet. For me, it took about a week to two weeks before I began to see an improvement. I was already on a low sodium diet as it was recommended...

    Jenny, I tried to take their online test for the eye problem at the website you gave but it won't recognize my email address (it has a .ca endng as I'm in Canada)! It's odd. Pegleg, you are about the first person that I've come across in the past two years that has had this head bobbing, torso rotating movement in addition to the vertigo. I'm very pleased...

    Thank you, AVR.

    Two years ago, I started having vertigo and balance problems. I was lucky enough to get in to see a neurologist who ordered an MRI (negative for MS and/or tumours relating to balance) and referred me to an ENT. The ENT diagnosed benign paroxsymal positional vertigo and suggested these techniques to help get the 'balance stones' in my ear back on track....

    I'm in the process of being tested for celiac disease. I've had some of the same symptoms as you including the sharp pain near the heart. I really relate to your experiences of doctor's brushing aside your symptoms and trying to attribute them to your mental state. This is extremly disheartening cause you know what you're feeling is not normal for you...
