I've never been an angry person, until the last few weeks. I went gluten-free about two months ago and it's been a total roller coaster. I've felt pretty good, and then even sicker than before. Lately my temper has been absolutely boiling. Does anyone have this reaction if their consuming hidden gluten? Or could it be an adjustment to being gluten-free...

ARCHIVED Anyone Go Through Enterolab?
Puckster replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I would still recommend getting the gene test when you can afford it. Your genes won't go anywhere, whereas the immune reaction results will change depending on whether you're gluten-free or not. So if you have raised levels from the gluten stool panel, go off gluten and then get the gene test later when you can afford it. You only have to pay for it once... -
ARCHIVED Bladder Problems And Gluten Sensitivity?
Puckster replied to aurora's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've had regular, horrible UTI's as well. I just went gluten-free a month ago and haven't had one yet (fingers crossed). I just wanted to mention that there's a supplement called D-Mannose out there that really helps with UTIs. It's a simple sugar that our body cannot absorb and for some reason bacteria in the urinary tract attach to the sugar when we... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Go Through Enterolab?
Puckster replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I got my results through enterolab and found out I have a celiac marker gene and elevated immune reaction levels. I definitely recommend enterolab - it may not diagnose celiac disease specifically, but it will tell you what kind of sensitivity you have as well as whether or not you have the celiac disease gene. In terms of people having "negative... -
I've had a similar experience with sleep and doctors, etc. Last year I was tested for sleep apnea - the results were positive (held my breath for over a minute a couple of times), but they were more concerned because I was waking up something like 240 times in the night (not fully conscious- they were arousals, ie. coming out of deep sleep). I was so excited...

Hi Denice, I feel in a similar position as you, I've been gluten-free for a couple of months, but it isn't really helping with my mood swings. I feel like I'm being really careful with what I eat, but it doesn't seem to help. I've been struggling with depression for the last eight years (I'm 26) and was hoping that a gluten-free diet would really help...

Thank you all, your replies are very helpful. I heard somewhere that the sticky rice can have gluten in it, and that the seaweed (don't know the terminology) can too. Should I avoid rolls? Great news on the wasabi - I love it! What about the pickled ginger?

I received my results from enterolab on 10/08/05. The more I read, the more consfused I am. Can someone tell me what I have?

I haven't eaten out since I was diagnosed (three weeks ago), but I'm planning on going to a sushi restaurant soon. I know I should bring my own soy sauce, and I can't eat the eel, but what can I eat?

ARCHIVED Newbie! - How Long Until I Feel Better?
Puckster posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello, I just found out I have celiac disease (through enterolab) and was wondering what I can expect in terms of feeling better? How long does it take? What's your experience with getting on the gluten-free diet?
