    It could be that it hits you harder now that you are gluten free. The same thing happened to me and alcohol, after going gluten free I could hardly drink anything because the effect was so big. So see if you can smoke a bit less. You might feel less panicky in general that way. The gluten free diet HAS had effect, you know it! We keep telling you, in...

    I'd say that on one hand, you probably need to eat, and on the other, you need to eat high quality food now. Your body is craving nutrients that it has been missing, so eat as many veggies and meat and fish and fruit as you can and keep the gluten free goodies just for occasional treats. But don't try to force yourself to eat too little, your body does need...

    Rachel it's funny what you said about the other support groups and them avoiding gluten as well. I've been on my veggies and meat/fish diet for candida for two weeks now and I feel pretty normal again! Not completely ok but I know it's something that will take a while. Anyway, I know lots of people try to treat candida unsuccesfully, and I'm wondering if...

    I'd wait before removing else from your diet, it could very well be from the supplements if they weren't gluten free. It's not unusual for symptoms to change after you've been gluten free for a while, btw. Pauliina

    I've been reading this thread with interest because my husband also reacts strongly to changes in his blood sugar. We haven't actually tested the levels, but it's become obvious that he shouldn't either have a rapid lowering of it OR a rapid rise. He used to get sick when he had a long day, got very hungry, and then got home and ate a big meal too quickly...

    Cathy, didn't you just post that you had had an gluten experiment? Was that before or after the follow up blood test? Pauliina

    How about nuts and raisins? I usually carry around a little tupperware box of those. Pauliina

    He doesn't know what he's talking about. The recommendation is still that you shouldn't go gluten free before testing. Though two weeks isn't very long, with a bit of good luck you might still have antibodies in your blood. Pauliina

    Yeah definitely let your family know! That way they might be more willing the next time to make the extra effort to go to a place that is familiar with gluten free. Sorry you got sick. I know it's hard to be assertive about your diet in the beginning . I don't eat out at all becuase frankly it's too much of a risk that I would even enjoy it, and I...

    Taylor, I really think you're going to be ok. You know, if i was traveling to the US I would be worried as well! It's just always a hassle to travel to a place where you don't have your usual comforting routine... What you should do with "gluten free" labels is READ THEM. If there are no obvious gluten sources listed, and the label says "gluten...

    I think I read somewhere that probiotics in general aren't very effective in re-populating the intestine. So that would mean taking them indefinitely. I'm not entirely happy with that thought either though. Dunno. Pauliina

    If she has bad D she should be nowhere near preparing food!!! Pauliina

    I like pineapple juice. Do remember to check labels even with things like juice! You know, from how you describe that you quite suddenly developed the rash, and the gurgles, it sounds to me like you might have gotten some gluten somewhere without noticing it, it sounds a lot like you might be having a gluten attack. What have you eaten, drank or touched...

    In my case, about 5-6 hours. First I get bloated and gassy ...or even before that i can get really irritable and moody... then tired, and loose yucky stools, followed by several days of constipation, depression and fatique. To keep it short. It's logical that you're not 100%, you're never going to BE 100% if you keep cheating! Pauliina

    I used to get d from chips... then I discovered that I should avoid all nightshades, which includes potatoes. Goodbye chips... I think I had a couple "glutenings" that weren't due to gluten after all before I figured this out. Pauliina

    It's true that i've been eating quite a lot of fruit lately, I love fruit and it's become my new treat really. And i recently discovered a department store here in town carries gluten free candy, so I've had more of that than in a long time...duh. What got me to go sugar free last weekend was I started to have a really rumbly stomach, too, among other...

    The strange thing is I don't even remember when I would have been on antibiotics the last time. When I was really little. So I wonder what made it break out like that just now, unless it was just that the weather turned very warm very suddenly. The banana was maybe not such a good idea after all. I think it just slowed down the die off and that's...

    Thought I'd post an update... I feel much much better today! I had a couple days of feeling really toxic, I felt like a slimy slug really, a hard to describe feeling. Even my poo smelled mouldy... But yesterday towards the evening it started getting better and today I feel pretty much like myself again! I know it's going to take a long time to really...

    Jen pretty much covered it all already. DONT PANIC! There are people on this board all the time posting about feeling worse when they start the diet. It seems to be a part of the healing process. I definitely felt worse the first months on the gluten free diet. Your body is still trying to figure out how to function without the evil gluten, it'll calm...

    I was in the supermarket the other day and just out of curiosity had a look at an Amstel Lite bottle... second ingredient was barley malt. Just FYI. Of course it might not be the same stuff they sell over there in the states... Pauliina

    Told you all so... it's celiac paradise! Of course I can't eat any gluten free goodies right now because of the nasty yeasties, so I don't care where I live... Pauliina

    It will get better! It's been mentioned here before, but if you don't already, do take a vitamin B complex. If you have absorbtion problems due to a lot of damage, a sublingual works better though. Lots of celiacs have a vit. B deficiency and that will really affect your mood. Pauliina

    I go to bed later. I realize this isn't an option for people who have to get up early for work though. I just don't go to bed before I'm sleepy, sometimes it means I go to bed at 5.30am... Oh yeah, sitting in front of a computer screen doesn't help. Reading a book might be a better idea. Pauliina

    Yes its possible that you got glutened. Some people react immediately, some take a few hours and some only react the next day. I usually notice in 5-6 hours or so if I accidentally eat something with gluten. You might feel tired for a while. I usually feel completely normal two.three weeks after a glutening, but I'm tolerably ok after a few days. Pauliina
