ARCHIVED Yogurt/probiotics - Any Input?
AshBil replied to josh052980's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm having the complete opposite problem. When I started taking a probiotic and eating yogurt again after going gluten free, I got very very sick. Extreme nausea to the point of almost vomiting and stomach pains. But it felt very different from the way I feel when I get glutened. And the yogurt and the probiotics were completely gluten free and my symptoms... -
Thank you all for the kind words. Takala, I honestly couldn't tell you why my aunt and cousin have to be the ones to decide. Maybe it's because we all go to their house afterwards. It's just always kind of been that way. It's not a big family by any means. It's me, my parents, two aunts, two uncles, three cousins and my grandma. So it looks like my parents...

I'm just feeling really frustrated. Every Easter, my family and I all go out to a restaurant for lunch/dinner and then go back to my aunt's house to hang out and play games and stuff (yeah, we're one of those families). So sine this is my first year beign diagnosed, my mom and I have been telling my grandmother and my aunt that we really should go to a restaurant...

ARCHIVED Feeling Great But Can't Eat!
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm not bloated, I just have that feeling as if I ate a lot when I only ate a small amount of chips. It's the full feeling on the inside without the bloat. It's just weird that a small amount of chips could fill me up so quick and last so long. It's like that with anything I eat lately. The first thing I eat that day no matter what it is, it intantly fills... -
Since I was diagnosed in October, I've been doing really well on this diet. In the beginning, I was still feeling terrible and thought I was doing something wrong but then I did more research and saw that you won't feel better overnight so I held out hope. I started getting better at reading labels and knowing what to look for and realized that I wasn't eating...

ARCHIVED Caramel Coloring Confusion!
AshBil posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
When I was first diagnosed, my Gastrologist gave me a bunch of information on hidden sources of gluten and one of them was caramel coloring. And when I went to my dietiton a few weeks ago, she gave me stuff that said the same thing. So I've been competely avoiding any type of colas like Pepsi and Coke. My favorite soda is Dr Pepper so I've reluctantly been... -
ARCHIVED Upcoming Holidays...
AshBil replied to prairiemamma's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I recently found this pumpkin pie recipe online that's really great. I actually made two pies tonight. One for home and one for my aunt's house for Thanksgiving since we all go over there for the holiday. I've never made a pie before so it was new to me but I think it came out really good. It's made with an entirely gluten free ginger snap crust. And all... -
ARCHIVED I Could Punch Myself Right Now!
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I just feel so dumb about it. It took a couple hours but I feel disguting now. All it mostly is is really bad nausea. I feel like I want to throw up everything I've ever ate in my whole life! And my mouth feels really dry. Thanks for the support guys! Now I get to go through the best part...waiting it out. I can see this will be a fun weekend! -
Okay so I've been being really good with this gluten free diet for the last almost month now since I've been diagnosed. I'm doing research and reading labels and being really good with just doing whole foods as much as possible so I can reassure myself I'm not being secretly glutened. Well...it happened anyway. And a lot of it. Literally about 10 minutes...

ARCHIVED My Journey..where To Go From Here..
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
AandGsmomma, i know that one! All too well. I know that if someone visits the ER a lot in such a short period of time with nothing being found, they might doubt you a little bit but after a couple times, I had a few doctors in the room with me, staring at me and asking me, "what do you do all day?" "are you in school or do you work?" "what's your daily life... -
ARCHIVED The Most Horrendous Pain I've Ever Experienced!
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had my last female check up a few weeks ago before I got my celiac Dx because I thought maybe the pain I was having could've been an ovarian cyst so I had ultrasounds of my reproductive organs and had a pelvic. Everything looked normal to them. And I do still have my appendix. I was so afraid of appendicitis when I first started having my celiac pain and... -
ARCHIVED The Most Horrendous Pain I've Ever Experienced!
AshBil posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey guys! This is kind of a little embarassing but I'm a little concerned. I have no idea if this has anything to do with celiac or not but I figured I should mention it to see. I've heard this is very common with everybody in the world but sometimes throughout my life I've always gotten these random extremely sharp and paralyzing pains that last for literally... -
ARCHIVED My Journey..where To Go From Here..
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks guys! I bought a bunch of fruit to replace my usual snacks and told my mom that I will cook my own dinner (which she was extremely happy about haha). I was already warned that no one's going to change anything around for me on the holidays coming up so I'm kind of at a loss there. But I also told my aunt that I'm going to make a couple of dishes for... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Under The Age Of 25?
AshBil replied to inducedjoy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey there! I'm 20 and was just diagnosed two weeks ago exactly. It only took over 3 months for them to figure out why I was constantly nauseous and bloated. That nausea will be the death of me. It still likes to pop up on me and destroy my whole night even when I'm eating something I know is positively gluten free. But, I've only been gluten free for two... -
ARCHIVED My Journey..where To Go From Here..
AshBil replied to AshBil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you guys! In my bloodwork they did do the genetic test too and it showed that I definitely carry the gene. Yeah, I love how doctors always fall back on the whole "you're just crazy, there's nothing wrong. Do you need to speak to someone?" line. I more than once got asked what I do everyday and how high my stress level is. My response was always that... -
Hey guys! So I really didn't know which section to post this on so I hope this isn't an awkward spot for it haha. I just wanted to kind of put my story out there. Granted mine is a lot shorter than a lot of yours all out there. I'm just having a little difficulty adjusting to this gluten free diet. I guess I'll start at the beginning... At the end of June...

I'm completely new to this whole thing. Celiac and the message boards here. I was diagnosed with celiac just a week ago after having an endoscopy and blood tests. I feel like I should mention I'm a 20 year old female too. I had to wait until this past weekend to go completely gluten free because that's when we have the money to go grocery shopping and I had...
