I get diarrhea about 6 hours later. At this point, now that I've healed for a year, I only get one or two rounds of diarrhea. Then I have constipation (no stool for about a day or two, normal transit time, then very hard stool for a few days after that). The day or two after the glutening I experience low mood: depression and anxiety, that lasts for the...

ARCHIVED Before You Knew It Was Gluten...?
Sara S. replied to heathenly's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
1. Yes. I remember the most depressed time of my life was on a student exchange trip to Italy, where I ate nothing but pasta and dairy. I was so miserable. I was also miserable traveling to Ireland where we ate lots of soda bread. I thought that I just didn't do well without a lot of veggies in my diet (so I went vegetarian for a time, but was unhappy... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Restaurants, Portland Or
Sara S. replied to WheatChef's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Has anyone tried one of the Ethiopian restaurants or creperies? A number of them claim to have gluten-free injera and crepes, respectively, but I can't figure out if any of them manage to be celiac-safe. -
There was another question about this in 2008, but I figured I'd start a new one since that one didn't have any replies and is 4 years old. I just got back from a trip to Big Bear, CA, and I had some good experiences there. I ate at Cowboy Express and didn't get sick. I ate the crab legs because it was the safest thing I could think of. They normally...

ARCHIVED On The Subject Of Memory Problems
Sara S. replied to Newtoitall's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was losing my memory and ability to think. It got to the point where I couldn't read things I needed to read for work. This was still going on 10 months of eating gluten free. Then I started taking methyl-cobalamin (B12), folate, and some other B vitamins (along with the vitamin D I was already taking) and then the brain fog slowly started to lift. ... -
ARCHIVED Still Fighting Fatigue 7 Months Post Diagnosis
Sara S. replied to mommyof4's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm about 11 months since diagnosis and eating gluten-free, and I feel like I'm just now getting less fatigued. About a month ago I started supplementing with vitamins D and Bs (especially folate and methylcobalamin), and I feel that has made a huge difference. The B and D vitamins are common deficiencies. Vitamin D deficiency is found in about 40%... -
I'm sorry to read that so many of you are having the same problems. At least we know that we're not alone, and maybe we can compile a list of avenues to try, based on our collective experiences. I saw an allergist today (and the allergist has been talking with my gastroenterologist to try to figure out what's going wrong with me). They think most likely...

I am sensitive to below 10 ppm. I reliably have diarrhea from Lindt 85% and Chocolove dark chocolate. I can have Endangered Species chocolate and Trader Joe's chocolate chips (NOT their pound plus) without getting sick. I also do fine with Taza (the local boston chocolate that is less processed).

Skylark and Golden Girl, have either of you figured out what was causing the brain fog, lack of concentration, fatigue, and mood disturbances? I've been gluten free for 10 months, since my diagnosis, and while my IBS-style symptoms have improved dramatically, I am still suffering from brain fog, difficulty concentrating, general fatigue, and irritability...
