Me too!! I definitely need a bubble!! Been tested, and mine is gluten related! I've had to cut back on body washes and hair care products. I'm still learning...

Yes!!

I have noticed that when I drink water/crystal light - I am less likely to binge eat!! Thanks for the advice Lady Eowyn!!

I had a similar issue with shampoo and body wash! I had been getting a slight rash for awhile, but didn't think anything about it! It wasn't until after I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in early January and I cut out all gluten that the reactions got worse. I got out of the shower one Sunday afternoon and was completely covered in red splotches!! I...

I am a newly diagnosed Celiac - diagnosed in early January of this year. I went almost two weeks without getting glutened. When it did happen I had lots f sneezing, scratchy throat, bloating, horrible gas, and uncontrollable diarrhea. It took me a few day for me to figure out what caused the reaction. I found out through a friend that it was Miracle Whip...

I got "glutened" today at work. I have been gluten-free since Jan. 3. I needed a fork for my lunch, and went to the cafeteria to get one. 15 minutes after eating, I had horrific diarrhea - and was in the bathroom for 15 minutes. The only thing I can think of, is the students touch as many forks as they can before they ever pick one. No more cafeteria...

My dad said he will get tested and I told my sister to get tested. Once she gets her results back, I will talk to her about it. I do feel bad for not believing her, but she does have a track record for making things up. I hope she gets tested and then we will know the answer. Thanks all for your comments!! Very helpful!!

My parents used to call me a hypochondriac - saying I was making everything up!! Now that I know it is Celiac - I feel so much better!!

Mine is more like a rash and is splotchy and slightly raised. It looks like eczema and sometimes itches. The worst it has ever been was when I reacted to a body wash Andy body was covered in it!! My arms also turn bright red when I get "glutened." My face and neck turn bright red instantly!! I get red itchy bumps along my jaw line... It's crazy...

Thank you alesusy!! I like your advice!! I'll definitely speak to her about getting tested!!

My sister (who is a hypochondriac) has now decided that she too has Celiac. She refuses to get tested, complains all the time about how she feels, and asks me about my symptoms. I have had to stop talking to her, because she doesn't get it. She thinks Celiac is something fun??!! She thinks she will get special attention if she has it??!! I told...

When I was 17 I was diagnosed with an over abundance of h-Pylori in my system. I was super sick, throwing up, lost a ton of weight, diarrhea, horrible reflux... After being medicated, I still felt like crap. But no doctor was able to truly pinpoint what the issues were. My parents never believed me when I told them I didn't feel well. I am now 32...
