Wow, I can not thank you enough for actually taking the time out to talk to the neuropsychiatrist for me! That is very kind. Apparently many different things can cause early childhood OCD. Strep throat can actually cause it in some vulnerable people. environmental issues, health of course, and what you said. Its interesting how she says to try and strengthen...

Wow you guys have got me very interested in this therapy. You don't have to be in combat to have PTSD. I was diagnosed and I have never been in combat. Just a very turbulent home life with a drug addict father. The daily living did truly traumatize me, but OCD started for me so young. Pre school I remember. And it is quite severe. OCD is actually a mixture...

Thank you (: I do know gluten is a problem for my body because my blood work came back highly allergic. So regardless of wether I feel better or not I will stick to the gluten-free diet. I don't want to put my body through anything like that. And thank you for the therapy ideas. I have never heard of EMDR or EFT. I went to therapy over OCD but it did not...

What do you suggest as far as items that are not certified gluten free but the ingredients are gluten free? And what do you suggest about items that are processed in the same facility as gluten containing products, but the area is cleaned before. Do you think that is okay?

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for your replies. I am guessing my body is just getting used to the change. I have had stomach problems my whole life, along with many other health issues. I thought I had IBS. It wasn't until I ran across celiac disease online that I realized I may have food allergies. When I got my blood work done, I had not been eating...

Do you think it is safe to try the gluten free diet alone and still eat dairy? I just ordered some vegan hemp protein powder. And I use almond milk as it it. But I just read it can take months to see any improvement in the way you feel with a gluten intolerance after you eliminate it. So do you think it would be safe for me to continue dairy just in limited...

Hey everyone, I have been gluten free now for about one week. I was hoping to see some changes, but unfortunately my stomach problems are persisting. I know it has only been one week, but I was hoping the diarrhea (sorry for too much info lol) would at least go away some. I am just wondering if I have leaky gut syndrome. How do you really know? And don't...

Hey! So I do notice that when I eat eggs I get very sick to my stomach. And I have been gluten free for a week now but my digestive issues persist. I dont want to give Too much information, but I am still having diarrhea and I notices that it was worse this morning after I had my protein shake. It is made from whey, so obviously dairy. I have been a vegetarian...

Thank you for your reply! So I should eliminate those foods as well and then when do I know when to reintroduce them. What on earth will I eat? Could I limit my intake of dairy but not fully eliminate it, and then gradually eat more once my digestion improves?

Hey everyone! I am new to the board and I was just recently diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. My celiac panel came back negative, but I highly suspect I may have it. We did additional blood work to see if I had a delayed allergy to gluten or intolerance. And it came back high. I don't know if I possibly came back negative on the celiac panel because...
