    To everyone else a gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes foods containing gluten, but does not necessarily exclude processed foods.. which is why I got confused :-) We're on the same page in principles, but not in definitions ;-)

    I'm afraid I can't agree with that. In my opinion, eating gluten-free doesn't necessary mean you're eating healthier. Gluten-free bread and pasta, as well as any gluten-free processed foods are still.. processed and will have the same toll on the body as any wheat-based processed foods. Eating healthier means eating natural foods (that don't require a...

    I lost one dress size from going off gluten, but I think that was just the swelling caused by the gluten going away. After that any weight I lost was due to not being able to eat anything, but not because I was gluten-free. I know that if I start eating lots of carbs again all the weight will come back.

    I agree with and echo Takala 100% The beginning is always the toughest period because of your attachment to sugary/ gluten-ie foods. You'll realize happy moments don't have to revolve around sugary treats once you've lived without them for a while, and you'll discover your new favorite alternatives in time too :-) I used to be in love with nutella,...

    Those don't look so mild to me.. Mine are ant-bite size, and they only scar if I break the skin.

    Interesting :-) My birthday's in May!!! What can we do to raise awareness?

    I would call them in advance and explain the situation. If their feelings really did get hurt, I would tell them to grow up.

    You haven't mentioned much about your lifestyle.. like what do you usually eat, what precautions have you taken to make sure you're completely gluten-free. The way you're feeling now is directly related to your health situation, believe me! Depression and feelings of hopelessness are caused by whatever is making you feel ill. We'll need more details to...

    Face it guys and gals.. Those who are fatter want to get thinner, and those thinner want to get fatter! Those who are neither thin nor fat probably don't like their bodies either haha :-) I would say "let's all just be happy about our looks and be thankful of what we have", but then I would be a hypocrite!

    jtazman99? it's been a while since you posted, how's your wife?

    Having celiac doesn't mean you lose weight or gain it. It's seriously different from person to person. Some people gain, some lose, and some are unaffected, and regardless of how much they weighed before going gluten free. What you can do is to minimize or eliminate processed and ready-made foods (and grains if you're willing) from your diet, and stick...

    Also, can you please specify if it's a one time thing, or lasts for a few days, and how long each cramp episode lasts?
  15. dani nero
    Honestly, I really do hope it's a gluten-cramp. I know this might sound wrong to some people here but life would be so much easier for me if I have a clear sign that I've been glutened, then I wouldn't have to keep thinking and monitoring myself. It was like I had to be a little paranoid all the time in order to keep myself healthy. Having a clear signal...

    Well keep us posted on this! If it continues and when it stops. I also hope you're not reacting to another food or that something else is wrong. I have to say it's nice to see people with good mental control.. You're not freaking out at all. I tend to get paranoid in the beginning and my mind starts to wander :-)

    I am positive I got glutened about a month ago, but I didn't have any cramps then.. I just had lower-left abdominal (back and side) pain when I moved.

    Day 5? Prickly, maybe it's time to call the doctor? :-(
  19. dani nero
    Thank you guys! I was asking because I had seriously painful cramps last night.. I was about to scream. They were in my lower-left (front and back) parts of my abdomen and around the center. It started feeling like my left side was tied into a knot together with my left thigh muscles with faint cramps, but got more and more painful. At first I thought it...

    Hang in there Habbukuk! Lucky for us life is not just one path or one door, when some doors get shut we can always open new ones :-) You'll find new things that you like. I learned to appreciate food MORE after going gluten free, because I had to do most of the cooking. Cooking is becoming a passion and with that passion comes great flavors and yum yums!

    You're not called a warrior princess for nothing :-) It's just hard to be able to understand what a person is going through without being in their shoes.

    Lol :-D You go girl! I am overweight, but my fat is also distributed. My weight always goes up and down, ranging between 149 lb and 160 lb, and I'm 164cm tall.
  23. dani nero
    I'm wondering what gluten cramps feel like? Can everyone try to describe theirs? What area of the abdomen, are the lower-back and or sides, thighs/ legs involved? is it stabbing or pinching type? does it just come or come and go? Is it on the left, right or center? Stuff like that, anything you could think of? Edit: Also, can you please specify if it's...
  24. dani nero
    It's better than people taking one look at you and thinking they know what and how much you eat just because you're overweight, including doctors. People think you're lucky because the media tells them the thinner the better (everything is about looks), and they find it hard to even comprehend the possibility that there could be any different worlds than...

    Sorry for the delayed response.. just thought I'd leave an update when I started feeling better to skip the whining :-P I've been gardening as much as I could the past three days in hopes to manage my temper. It didn't really help as I was bursting out from the smallest things ;-( I noticed also that I get extra angry and crazy when I'm hungry, to point...
