I don't know if you have abdominal pain, but I did, intense pain actually that landed me in the ER three times before being dx....the biopsy was actually enjoyable for me!!! It was the only time that I was pain free before I started slobbering on the pillow and when I woke up! Yes its uncomfortable knowing what they are going to do, but the sedative...

Ive been gluten free since March, and where I hardly used to eat at all, now I eat constantly! I just can't stop. Gaining weight like crazy which I can afford a bit but not as fast as Im putting it on. Last night had a huge dinner of gluten-free chilli and then before I went to bed, two more bowls. Bad, but I was sooooooo hungry!!!!! I hope this stops...

Tee hee hee "Gloating" woops sorry.... Maybe my body is going through withdrawal because I now smell like BO (sorry TMI) ALL the time, no matter how much I wash and "deodorize" and Im breaking out with acne that I never had a problem with either!?!? Headaches along with pain today, didn't eat much because I just don't want to puff up like a lump again...

Lisa, granted I have reintroduced lactose, but even after eating a bowl of gluten-free cereal with lactose free milk during a week of lactose free, same thing!? I don't understand why Ive never had a problem with lactose before, why now? Although I am a cheeseaholic, I havn't eaten any, the most lactose that Im being exposed to is in indrediants so Im not...

I have tried the papaya enzyme but thats about it...I will try those...I still look like I swallowed a pumpkin...not sure what else Id have an intolerance to, and why now that Im on the GFD!? Never had this before. Oh well....Ive gotten over my cravings for junk, and have some gluten-free stuff that I really like, so that part is better, but man I wish...

Everyone out there who has been gluten-free for a while....Every single time I eat something now, I end up with abdo pains, and I look like Im six months pregnant!?!? This didn't happen before I went gluten free. My stomach literally looks like I swallowed a basketball, and the pain....OMG! It goes away after quite a few hours...had gluten-free cereal...

That would be nice to have a proper support group but at least this way, we can support each other the world over! Just think of all the people who would be left out of the group because they couldn't get wherever! Something needs to change in terms of doctors! They need to change. I have been through it with my son and his complete team of docs and...

I was just dx in March and have been gluten-free since then, and although everyone says its a good idea to take yourself off dairy, I can't do it! Im a cheese-a-holic, and used to be a bread-a-holic, its bad enough the bread is gone, can't do without the cheese! I did buy the lactose free milk, but have since switched back to normal milk, Im so weak, have...

I so hear where you are coming from!!!! Ive already posted my experience as of late with doctors...and you sound soooooo like me! I do though have my families full support, my hubby even comes home from work with gluten free treats for me, so thats different. But I also had a melt down at my doctors office last week!!! I just broke down and blubbered like...

Can we have it?? What is it? We can't have soy right? Sorry for my ignorance but Im still trying to desperately learn! Just ate some MM's and I hope to God I didn't just gluten myself!!!

Sara2200, I was dx on March 27th this year, and have been gluten free since...I have MANY of the same symptoms that you do too. Running upstairs to grab something and by the time I get there, whoosh its gone!?!? I love reading novels, and I just finished reading one last night that was 600 pages +, a who dunnit, but the time I found out "who did it" I couldn...

brkr4evr....good for you, I hope this takes care of your pain!!! I also have pain under my ribs, and again when mentioned to my doc told don't worry about it, its the celiac, stay on the diet.... May you have wonderful health and no more pain now that your gall bladder is out!!!

Peter... You are obviously well informed, and have done alot of research...but for those of us who are newly diagnosed, we RELY on those with the education (pharmacists/docs etc) to help find safe medications etc. Even though they may put all the ingrediants on the lables alot of the terms are vague. Im still having trouble dealing with trying to decipher...

JustNana... Yeah it feels like that lately. Today for Easter my family was here, and I stared at my mom's famous German strawberry cake, but refrained from eating it...didn't want it because again my kidney hurt so bad I just sat at the table with a long face while my family argued over who I should go to see next. My husband wants to take me down to...

Not ALL the ingrediants are on that list, for sure not gluten specifically. Its not even on the pharmacists computer, they have no access to it, so even armed with a printout I wouldn't trust it, especially if I had celiac children. For myself Im knowingly taking a risk if I decide to take the meds, but no way would I take a chance with my kids. They told...
