About Me

Gluten free for a month and starting to feel human! Still trying to find a supportive doctor and be formally diagnosed. I'm working on it :D

  1. I cut gluten out of my diet and felt relief straight away. My constipation, fainting spells, bloating, nausea, vomiting and brain fog cleared up within 2-3 months and I've been feeling great ever since. I've been gluten free for 7 months and occasionally had mishaps and eaten gluten, causing me to have strong reactions, like vomiting, pain, brain fog...
  2. Going to Athens for a holiday very last minute! Leaving tomorrow afternoon and arriving in the evening. This will be my first time out of the country since realising I cannot eat gluten, so I am a little nervous. I will be in a hotel, so no apartment to cook in Has anyone been before? Do you have any tips for being gluten free abroad, any meals...
  3. I feel so sad reading all of these and seeing how so many people have needlessly suffered due to so many uneducated doctors who do not understand! I think the really really important thing is to not fall out with your body. It's difficult and I often find myself in tears of anger and frustration, blaming my body and hating it! When really that's no help...
  4. I'm sorry to hear you never seem to feel well, but I know exactly how you feel. It's literally a new problem everyday (or a reoccurring one!) My family and friends are supportive, but they don't really understand. I just constantly feel bloated, or tired, or nauseas or achy, etc etc etc. How do you cope? Do you keep a food diary, write a list of trigger...
  5. Hey everyone, I've been suffering from trapped wind for three days straight now, its been really painful (especially on Saturday) and wakes me up at night. I am also really bloated and constipated. I'm not sure if the trapped wind is a result from constipation, or different entirely? Has anyone else suffered from this. I've taken laxatives...
  6. It easily could have been a gluten response, just the worse one ever! Maybe there was even gluten in Senokot? The website said no but I'm not so sure now. I though I was out for a few minutes, it felt like ages but maybe it wasn't I was just so dizzy, sweaty and confused I couldn't tell. Does this happen to you quite often after eating gluten?...
  7. Hi everyone, thanks for replying so quickly! I didn't see a doctor because after that horrible episode I calmed down a lot, cramping but not more fainting or excruciating pain! I'm wondering if it was the laxative (although I've not had those reactions before) or gluten!? I may have eaten some gluten the night before too, pretty harsh reaction but I...
  8. Hey everyone, I've been so busy the past few weeks, but been sticking to my gluten-free diet fine! Although last night I felt rather uncomfortable, bloated and constipated, I put it down to stress and took a Senokot tablet (Dual tablet which aides bloating and constipation) I've never had a problem with Senokot before and doubted anything would happen...
  9. Hello Yes I think it is! After going off gluten I felt very fatigued and so dizzy for about 2 weeks or so,I think its your body fighting off the toxins, and possibly you aren't eating enough? I almost passed out in town after having a horrible dizzy spell right after quitting gluten, scared my mother to death! Just relax and wait it out, your body is...
  10. I went gluten free on my own initiative after so many failed doctors visits, because being off gluten is the only thing to make me better! I've been gluten free for almost 2 months now, aside from accidentally eating gluten and purposely for 2 days after a failed attempt at the gluten challenge. Anyway, I'm still suffering from nausea and bloating...
  11. Just wondering if anyone on here suffers with mouth ulcers? I am constantly getting them, normally the day after (sometimes just a few hours after) I accidentally eat gluten, normally with all the other symptoms. After eating gluten by mistake a week or so ago, I got a mouth ulcer, it cleared up but now more keep developing. I don't think I'm eating gluten...
  12. I've been off gluten for 7 weeks now and feeling much better, but the last hour I've felt really nauseas, light headed, shaky and dizzy, just how I feel after eating gluten! I went through everything I've eaten today and can't find any gluten, except for 'traces of wheat protein' in some chocolate I ate. I only ate two pieces, is this even enough to make...
  13. Hi everyone, I've been gluten free for about 6 weeks now! (except for a few slip ups and a failed attempt at a gluten challenged) but I am already feeling much better! A lot of my symptoms have cleared up or improved (fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, vomiting, nausea, constipation) but I am still suffering from bloating and occasional nausea...
  14. That's okay! Sorry for the confusion, I've had a horrible day feeling so weak and tired and not knowing why! My minds been all over the place and I wrote that post rather quickly this morning, before randomly sleeping for a few hours I just feel so frustrated with all of the confusion, constantly feeling ill and useless doctors I've been seeing!
  15. Yes I think you may be right, I'm going to research further and see what I come up with. I just know homeopath is an option and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it
