    Two questions: 1. Is it possible that (inadvertantly) eating (minute quanities) of gluten can cause migraine-like headaches and ZERO energy? I'm thinking I need to go see a doctor, because after years of no headaches at all and an abundance of energy, since going gluten-free, I've been getting terrible headaches, and getting laid out for days with no...

    I avoid gluten-free processed foods just like I avoided other processed foods before I found out I had celiac's disease, because whole foods really do make me feel better. My problem with the processed gluten-free foods, besides all the chemicals is that they contain so much pure starches instead of whole grains. I've been making my own mostly whole grain...

    I hardly ever go out to eat, but it's so depressing to think that I'll essentially never be able to. We were traveling, and needed to eat SOMEWHERE, and it seemed like the best choice. And it's hard to ask people who don't speak very good English about gluten. I guess it means I just have to be super-prepared, and bring ALL of my own food whenever I go...

    Of course that could have something to do with it! Are you also breast-feeding? If so, your body is going to want to hang onto as much body fat as possible to make sure you have enough of you to make food for your baby. I think people don,t really expect to get their paper-baby body back for at least a year. I sure wouldn't worry about 5- 7 pounds , especially...

    ....that I am unintentionally getting glutened, or that I have a problem with dairy, despite many months of eating dairy with no problems? For the past several weeks I have been having a resurgence of symptoms that almost completely disappeared when I went gluten-free seven months ago. Mduring this time, I have eaten out several times (Mexican restaurants...

    I honestly think that a person's diet can be whatever that person wants it to be. If you're interested in a whole foods diet, then you can move that direction without getting too extreme. People usually can make more lasting changes gradually than going whole hog throwing out everything they,ve ever eaten, and doing something completely different. Except...

    ARCHIVED Beer?

    Sunny600 replied to bossley's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Those beverages are really important for quality of life, but i'm not liking gluten-free beers. I just bought some Bard's but haven't tried it yet. I don't like New Grist at all. So it kind of looks like I'm not a beer drinker anymore, and we have a wonderful local microbrewery just down the street. Alas. But I have discovered Angry Orchard hard ciders...

    Since I've been gluten free, I have slowly been eliminating the glutenous things in the house. I still buy bread for my son, but without saying anything, all baking and meals are now gluten free. He was actually happy to stop being served whole wheat noodles, which is what we always had before, and my partner and I have for years been eating pancakes made...

    This is funny, because since I went gluten free about six months ago, I STOPPED being hungry all the time. It,s very pleasant to not have to find snacks all the time in the middle of the morning and afternoon. Tilley

    I don't have abdominal pain anymore. After being subjected to a bunch of tests as a teenager because of it, my mom finally told me it was "normal" to have "aches and pains". Well, guess what? It's NOT normal! Tilley

    I think my son, who is 19 years old, struggling with ADD and depression, neither going to school not able to bring himself to apply for jobs, constantly on the toilet and suffering from stomach aches, has it too, but he refuses to be tested. He say s that if he finds out he does, then he'll start thinking he has problems when he really doesn't (yeah, right...

    So, I have been reading in this forum that it is normal to become increasingly sensitive to gluten the longer you have been gluten free. Onevof the most interesting comments was about someone's untested daughter who was afraid of going gluten free, because she didn't want to develop extreme sensitivities like her stepdad, and someone said that if she DOESN...

    I was just wondering if folks have had the experience of, once going gluten-free, becoming aware of other food sensitivities you have, that before, when you were eating gluten, must have blunted other things. I honestly don't remember ever thinking I had any problems with ANYTHING, except maybe eating too much cheese or protein late in the evening, yet,...

    Thanks! I really appreciate your comments. I think I am NOT going to pursue testing, because I just don't feel up to it (it looks like there really aren't any doctors in my area who know anything about this). But I WILL continue to eat gluten-free, and let that be good. I really do want to feel better, and this last month and a half of gluten-free eating...

    My group of friends has potlucks often twice a week, and while I am the only person I know of that if gluten free, there is usually a number of things I can eat. And if it's something I have a question about, I can always ask. But my general potluck rule is to always bring a main dish that I can eat, and then I won't be starving. I don't spend a lot of...

    Thanks! I haven't eaten oatmeal since I started eating gluten-free, but I really wish I had pursued testing before I started all this. It was really a kind of "hmmmmm, I wonder if this is what is going on," and sure enough, cutting the gluten really helped a lot, and now I really really don't want to go back to eating gluten to do the testing. The one...

    ARCHIVED Kansas Doctor Needed

    Sunny600 replied to troyshort's topic in Doctors

    Still no recommendations for doctors in Lawrence, KS (or even Kansas City)? I would appreciate suggestions from anyone.

    I've just recently gone gluten-free, but candy really surprised me too. Here's a website with a fairly recent listing: Open Original Shared Link

    I have Meniere's Disease, but it's not really bad at all--mild (but annoying) hearing loss in one ear, tinnitus, and occasional, mild dizziness. I take a diuretic, which helps a lot, and try to eat a low-salt diet, which helps a lot, but not always. I have only recently gone Gluten-free, and I will be interested to see if that has any effect.....

    The only danger with WW (like with any other diet) is that you become obsessed with food. If you actually follow the point recommendation, you will be eating way less than your body needs (thus the losing weight part), but that's all that you'll end up thinking about. I don't remember the exact number, but 97% (or more) end up regaining all that they've...
  22. Sunny600
    Well, I know this is a long time past when you posted this, but I just read the book, and while the scientific stuff seems very good (and he himself seems to have celiacs), his ultimate reccommendation is to elimated ALL carbohydrates from one's diet, which makes this ultimately no different from any other no-carb diet. But it was very very interesting,...

    I realize that I have been going about this all wrong, but I stumbled upon a gluten-free site somewhere on the Internet a month and a half a go when I was looking around for possible explanations for why I started every day feeling fine, and then got very uncomfortably bloated by mid afternoon, until I could barely walk by evening, and was getting a headache...
