  1. Why are you mad at them? I love it when companies write the considerate message of processed in a facility that handles wheat. Taking it out on them even though they were considerate won't make your gluten-symptoms go away. Double probiotics and lots of water and rest. Get well soon

    ARCHIVED Scared

    No point in worrying yourself before you actually see the results. Hopefully it'll be ok :-) Don't worry, try to relax.
  3. Before jumping to any conclusions and assuming that you might be having any other problems, let me point out that if you indeed have a problem with gluten, then it's not uncommon at all to start feeling poorly after the first week. It's probably just gluten withdrawal. Read this post https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ It's an intro...
  4. It's really up to you to find out the amount of gluten you react to. We can't figure it out for you because we can't feel what you feel after consuming cross-contaminated food. The blood test should help you answer that question.
  5. I would advise you to get one of these apps that track how many vitamins and minerals you are consuming daily to make sure your diet is complete and not lacking any important nutrients. The last thing a recovering celiac needs is malnutrition. Lacking vits and minerals will make you feel like crap both mentally and physically.

    ARCHIVED Joint Pain?!

    Yes, it isn't unusual to start experiencing new more severe symptoms after going gluten-free. It could also be however that you have overworked your muscles / joints since you were tired. Forcing yourself into vigorous workouts when your body isn't in shape for it can cause sport-injuries so you need to be careful and choose an activity that is kinder to...
  7. It's gonna be a tough learning curve in the beginning but will become like second nature as time passes. If I'm about to eat at a restaurant, I first ask them about how they go about preventing cross-contamination. If they don't know what I mean, or tell me that they simply wash the pans that were used to prepare glutinous foods very well, I don't eat there...
  8. The thing with nuts and chocolate is that they are often produced in a factories which also processes gluten. Meaning that trace amounts of cc can be present in the chocolate. Some manufacturers don't bother mentioning these facts in the label.
  9. This isn't the first time I read about someone consuming considerable amounts of gluten and having a reaction different from what they were expecting. The same thing happened to someone who had been gluten free, then started eating toast for their gluten-trials. I'm not sure if their story ended with a late reaction however. Let us know if you start reacting...
  10. If accidents are happening, or if you haven't taken any safety measures to prevent your food from gluten cross-contamination, then I'm afraid that your diet has not truly been gluten-free. Being on a gluten-free diet means that your food needs to be free from even the tiniest crumb. Please read this post https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info...
  11. How long have you been gluten free? For many of us going gluten-free means a complete change of what we eat, meaning that you've changed the type of fuel your body is used to, and it might require some time to get used to it. Withdrawal is always tough. I remember when I used to go through cleansing diets. The first days would be the toughest. I'd be so...
  12. This makes me wonder if NCGI is hereditary.
  13. If you're not sure if you need to wash your own eating gear, then I think the problem might be cross-contamination. I agree with the previous posts, check the 101 post https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101 for general guidlines on eating safety and cross-contamination.
  14. This is very interesting. May I ask how the doc went about diagnosing you?
  15. I've read posts by people who had gone on the gluten trial, meaning that they had started eating wheat toast and such daily, but had unexpected reactions. I don't remember what happened exactly, but just that they reacted differently from when they'd had a glutenation from cc. How are you feeling now by the way?
  16. I'm also curious about leaky gut. I tried reading about it and didn't understand very well. Can someone simplify it?
  17. IBS can cause pain even when you're not having bowel movements. Some people get IBS because acids make their way into their large intestines which irritates them, and the intestines can hurt throughout the day and cause all types of pain. Buscopan will stop the intestines from being irritated and manage the pain considerably. If the pain stops after taking...
  18. Were you diagnosed with celiac even though you were already gluten-free?
  19. I'm glad you had it figured out. Thanks for sharing the experience, I'll make sure I ask the doc to look into all possibilities. Thanks
  20. It doesn't matter how healthy you eat. If you're celiac, your body isn't absorbing the nutrients you need, or at least enough of them. Before finding out about celiac, I woke up every morning feeling like I was a zombie who got hit by a bus the previous night, so I decided to eliminate any junk food and processed snacks from my diet in order to have more...
  21. Mothers usually come around once they've seen how serious we are about the matter. They are very sceptical in the beginning because the condition seems unreal to them. I wish there was an effective way of educating people without having to go through the same conversation with everyone and sounding like a broken record.. and that doesn't require convincing...
  22. Your cravings might be a sign that you need more nutrition? There is an introductory 101 thread in the very top of this board by IrishHeart. It is very good reading. Lots of information about our needs and the learning curve we go through while healing. Welcome to the forum, nice to meet you :-)
  23. Thanks Pegleg, I really appreciate your input on this and do really hope it is my stomach being grumpy and nothing more.. although that would still mean that this pain which I've been having for over a year will still occur every time my gut feels like protesting :-( The first time I got this pain was a day after my birthday. I had eaten chocolate oat...
  24. I admire your determination and hope that your good days will always outnumber the bad ones :-)
  25. I'm sorry for not being helpful and that you're feeling bad. Hope you figure it out
