About Me

Hello, my name is Candice. I'm new to the forums. Ive had symptoms of gluten sensitivity all of my life but just recently discovered the connection. I have not been formally diagnosed bc of insurance/money issues but im determined to as soon as I can.

    I understand what you are going through. I struggled with bulimia until I was 23. Im 29 now. I am also about 5'4". I think the lowest I got down to was 117lbs and I looked sickly. I have a small/medium build. I wear between a size 3 and 5. People say that im small. I have never in my life worn a 0-1...well maybe when I was a kid but that doesnt count...

    Thanks for the input everyone. Its amazing to see that other people are having the same issues. You would never think that it would affect your bladder!

    Before I started suspecting gluten sensitivity, I've been having reacurring bladder pains. It started about a year ago. I felt intense pressure in my bladder, the same feeling like you have to pee very badly but have to hold it. I'd pee, and it would still feel the same. Its uncomfortable to urinate as well. Ive already been checked for everything under...

    I don't know much about the race statistics of the disease but you can never say never! Like someone else said, you may have quite a bit of European ancestry behind you and not even know it. The world is a big melting pot. Don't rule it out, keep your options open.

    Yeah Ive read most is safe. I was at a non-chain movie theater so i'm wondering what they used on it. After the reaction I saw lots of sites saying the flavorings etc could be a problem. Im not sure since im still new to this but thats the only thing I ate at the time. So now i'm scared of trying out the mom and pop places, lol. I guess I should stick...

    I was wondering the same thing! I went gluten free for the first time recently. I went for about two weeks. I grabbed a bite of popcorn from the movie theater thinking that it would be safe. Not long after my throat felt kinda like it was tighter... Not like an allergy...just felt weird. Within an hour or so my stomach bloated up like crazy/hurt. ...

    Lucky! Most doctors that i've seen treat me like im a customer in a drive through at a fast food restaurant. I swear, i've never had luck with them. They all seem to want to do what is easiest for them and makes the most money. Glad you found someone good! Hang on to him!

    I havn't been formally diagnosed either but these are the symptoms I am experiencing: Since I was pretty young i've had GERD, fatigue, depression/anxiety, lactose sensitivity, and diarrhea off and on. Just in the past couple of years (im 29 now), new symptoms have developed including: bloat/stomach swelling, shortness of breath after eating sometime...

    I truly believe that many diseases and problems that people have are related to what they ingest in some fashion. That's my opinion anyway. It won't hurt to try gluten free for a while to see how you feel! You dont have to buy all the prepackaged stuff to test this out. I started on gluten free brown/white rice and different kinds of sauteed vegetables...

    Hello everyone! So here's the quick run down....I've had symptoms all of my life but could never figure out what was wrong with me. I recently came across the issue of celiac/gluten sensitivity. I had sooooo many symptoms. So I went without gluten for a couple of weeks. I felt so much better in many aspects. Well.... I slipped up and had lots of gluten filled...
