    Most folks here take 1 to 3 years to heal from symptoms that include anxiety. I think three months of being gluten-free is too soon. Odds are you are still learning about hidden sources of gluten and cross contamination. Each time you get "glutened" it can set you back a few weeks! Can the doctor officially diagnosis her based on her diet and her...

    I'm drinking a bottle of sparkling mineral water with a slice of orange in it. Yummy! No favoring, no sodium, just plain water!

    Maybe a compounding pharmacy can help?

    No, gluten does not attack your thyroid. Thyroiditis is another autoimmune disorder like celiac disease. You can have one or both. You can many autoimmune disorders. Everyone is different. Celiac disease has many symptoms, but not all get the same symptoms. The same goes for thyroid disease. I ran hypo but never had hair loss or gained weight. ...

    Just take your own food. Usually, they screw up even though you order it! If you are lucky you will get some prepackaged stuff that has labels that can supplement your supply.

    Patience! It takes time to heal! I know you feel bad. I felt a bit better by six weeks to notice a difference. It has been a year and a half and I finally starting to feel really good. Hang in there!

    Cast iron can harbor gluten too, but the good news is that they can be de-glutenized unlike non-stick coated pans). Just use dedicated pans for gluten-free eaters for either of these two types.

    I would not necessarily give up all grains, but when I went gluten-free, I found that not all alternative grains did not agree with me. You know some thing are just hard to digest with a damaged gut. But that may not be the case for you. Keep eating rice, but like everything else, eat in moderation. I have had Hashi's for almost 20 years. I was stable...

    I am diabetic (dx after my celiac disease dx), so I eat to my meter (meaning I try to keep my blood glucose stable). I found that before I went on my Low Carb High Fat diet, I was having trouble with alternative grains like quinoa. So, now I eat normal portions of protein, eat fat (had some avocado and salmon for breakfast, along with zucchini) and get...

    Make sure you are completely gluten free (cross contamination) including all medications, lipstick etc. Patience is the next step. Think about removing all dairy from your diet cause damage villi often can not release the enzymes need to digest lactose (milk sugar). Short term fix? Heating pad for your back? Keep a food journal to help determine...

    Looking back, I would wish I would have gone completely grain free and stuck to whole foods (not processed). I think my healing would have occurred at a much faster rate.

    Yes, people with celiac disease can develop RA, diabetes type 1, lupus, thyroiditis, etc. since there is strong evidence that when you get one autoimmune disorder, you can get more! But joint pain can resolve on a gluten-free diet for many. For others they may be tested for RA if symptoms do not resolve with a gluten free diet (celiac disease healing).

    I have the same issues. I am thin, but you can see the difference (just me). No worries. It is probably related to inflammation. Mine has improved greatly. I see you did not get good medical support and did not get a proper diagnosis. I would suggest you read the newbie thread and learn about cross contamination. https://www.celiac.com/forums...

    We normally plug in the RV refrigerator 24 hours ahead of time before storing food. But to cool it down faster ('cause I forgot to plug it in), I fill the frig up with 1/2 gallon frozen jugs that previously held milk. I use a thermometer to check the frig temp. Then take out the jugs and fill the frig with food. I keep the jugs in my big freezer in the...

    Everyone is different. Some, like my hubby have no issues at all (but then he has been gluten-free for 13 years) and I can not tolerate Xanthan gum. So I bake with guar gum.

    Yikes! You have been a member since 2004. Do you have celiac disease? Why would you take this supplement now? How long have you been taking it? Have other things been ruled out like gallbladder disease?

    Have you read the threads on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? It is a thought........

    cyclinglady replied to natureman's topic in Doctors

    Have you been tested for celiac disease? What makes you think you have it (before going gluten free)? Have you had you gallbladder tested ( HIDA scan)? Are your other autoimmune disorders under control? Not to be nosy, but more background information would help. I hope others on the forum can direct you to a GI who has a strong background in celiac...

    Good idea and keep up on the research!

    There are different ranges of lactose in cheeses to consider. When did you last consume milk/cheese? You might have hit your limit for the day (s).

    Hey, Matthew! Welcome to the forum. Some of these members not been on for a while, but I am sure there are some current members suffering from edema.

    EOS lip balm is gluten-free and is sold in the big box stores. It is yummy. Do a search with in the forum for more suggestions. It has been a topic many times.

    Welcome! Here is a link to the University of Chicago's Celiac website. It explains the tests needed and some 300 symptoms. Constipation is one of them, along with GERD. Open Original Shared Link I happen to be the first in my family to be diagnosed and my symptom was anemia, although most of them have some identified autoimmune disorder like R...

    I will chime in here (beats sending out Girl Scout permissions slips) and add that I would not worry about the nodule. I have had the same one for 20 years. No changes in size. I have been on Armour Thyroid that long and the dosage has varied over the years as my thyroid continues to malfunction. Since going through menopause and going gluten free...

    I think you need time! Lots of it! I did not feel good until I had been gluten-free for 9 months. I am back to my old exercise routine and I am now back to cranking at work and my volunteer work and family life, but I still have off days. I know that I just do not have celiac disease. I have Hashi's, diabetes, allergies and food intolerances that I have...
