    Hi Squirmy, I tried taking a probiotic the other day (one of those pearls) and it made me SO nauseous. I told my GI doc that and he said if that happens, then it is working against you. (???) Good idea about the vitamin levels. I will ask to have them checked. I know D and B12 are deficient. Thanks!

    OK, I am hanging in there!

    IrishHeart, Another question: In the beginning when you first went off gluten, did you still feel sick to your stomach all the time? I feel sick after eating, no matter WHAT I eat, even if it does not have gluten in it. The only time I don't feel sick is in the morning after I eat a bowl of gluten-free rice krispies. But the whole rest of the day I am...

    IrishHeart, Oh my gosh, that is terrible! How did you survive all of that??! I can definitely relate to your symptoms, although mine are not as extreme as yours were. I wake up every night, especially if I have eaten something that is hard to digest (i.e. the strawberries the other night). I have spent many a night with the cool cloth on my forehead...

    Oh my gosh, IrishHeart, you poor thing! I am sorry you have suffered so much, but I am glad you are doing better now. Question: did you ever wake up in the middle of the night with GI distress?? I wake up practically every single night with some kind of GI distress - nausea, stomach pain, acid reflux, gagging/choking feelings, etc...And sometimes I lose...

    Oh my gosh, that is too funny about the scooter! Why did they want to give you a scooter? It really is sad how doctors are these days - treat the symptoms instead of treating the cause. How long has it taken for you to feel better?

    Thank you, love2travel. I am so glad to know I am not alone. I am trying to distract myself as much as possible because it helps take my mind off how my digestive system is functioning (or not!).

    Hi Squirmy, Actually, the doctor did tell me that it's all in my head, that I need to be on anti-depressants, and he even suggested that I have an eating disorder! I know for a fact that it's not all in my head and that I do NOT have an eating disorder, and I was really insulted when he said that. And yes, I completely agree with you about doctors...

    Hi kareng, No, I have never had an eating disorder before or issues with eating. One day about four months ago I got sick to my stomach, and I never got better. No one else in my family has been sick. I have had numerous tests done: blood tests, stool cultures, thyroid tests, abdominal ultrasound, upper endoscopy (but no biopsies taken), and I have had...

    Thanks Squirmy! Yeah, the burning feeling and the gagging in the throat thing are horrible. I am sure I will have lots more questions and moans and groans. Like for instance, when I talked to my GI doctor yesterday and he said, "There's nothing wrong with you. You're fine." UGGHH!

    Hi everyone, Please help, I don't know what to do. All of my family members think I have an eating disorder because I have lost so much weight (15 lbs., which is a lot for me). I am eating, but I am not putting on any weight. I have not officially been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, but I have had every other test, and they were...

    Hi IrishHeart, Thanks for the advice and reassurance. I am glad to know I am not the only one who feels like their entire GI tract is on fire. I have this horrible gagging sensation in my throat, especially when I eat the wrong things. Not to mention the burning in my stomach. AAHHH! I am going to keep my diet as simple as possible right now with lots...

    love2travel, Thank you for the reassurance. I needed it! I have noticed dizziness and low blood sugar, as well as some body aches. But I guess the most frustrating is that my GI tract is still VERY inflamed, and so I am having to take it easy on what I eat. Like last night I had some strawberries - oh my gosh, I thought I was going to die! I guess I...

    OK, thanks Squirmy. I did a search and found some threads about people not being able to work, at least in the beginning during the healing process.
  15. Sunny1008
    Hi Squirmy, Thank you so much for the reassurance. I really need it! My gut is definitely a wreck! No other way to put it! I had a difficult night last night. I ate some strawberries before bed...BIG MISTAKE! I got maybe three hours of sleep - the rest of the night had burning and pain in my abdomen. So uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. I guess strawberries...

    Thanks squirmingitch!! Another question: is it normal to have to eat a very bland diet until the GI tract heals? I have found that I have to stick to pretty bland stuff, i.e. baked chicken, rice, bananas, etc. I am not able to tolerate foods that I used to have no problem with, i.e. peanut butter, corn, red meat, very rich foods, etc. I am able to handle...

    Squirmingitch, Thank you so much for the info. I wanted to cry with relief when I read your post because I truly thought I was going crazy! I do need to be better about my protein intake, especially in the morning. I will try the suggestions you mentioned - I like the apple with nut butter idea. I am glad to know that the withdrawal will eventually pass...

    Hello everyone, I am new to this. I just started a gluten-free diet about two and a half weeks ago. My digestive symptoms seem to have improved, but now I am experiencing severe bouts of dizziness. I feel like I could pass out at any moment. Could this be a symptom of gluten withdrawal? Anyone else experience this? When will it pass? Thanks! Sunny

    Hi shellb65, Glad to hear you are doing so much better! I have been off gluten for about two and a half weeks, and I have noticed improvement in my stomach symptoms. But I am still feeling ill overall. I have a lot of fatigue and I seem to have erratic blood sugar levels. I get very shaky, weak, feels like I am going to pass out. Don't know what's going...

    Thanks Takala. I have copies of my test results. I am searching for a new doctor right now - one who is familiar with celiac disease and gluten intolerance.
  21. Sunny1008
    Hello everyone, I am new to this board. I am wondering if I might have gluten intolerance. About four months ago, I became very sick with stomach problems. I have had nearly every test done (including the blood test for Celiac disease), and they all came back negative. I know that the blood tests aren't that accurate, which is why I am still wondering...
