    Does anyone here get canker sores when exposed to gluten infrequently? I had french onion soup at a diner maybe 10 days ago and it definitely had gluten in it. Definitely. I've had three canker sores since then. I am just wondering if anyone else gets them relatively easily. Before now I feel like they were much more sporadic never had them this frequently...

    ARCHIVED Sharing Food

    Steph1 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am going on vacation with about 30 other people. This is the second year in a row that they did this vacation, but the first time I am going. When they go everyone buys food and shares it in the house. I am worried that people will be touching my food with gluten on their hands. Should I be afraid of this? I don't know if I'm being overly cautious . I...

    I absolutely have body odor from being glutened. I go without deodorant when possible and I distinctly remember one time an hour or so after being glutened being in a store and being mortified because I had that fight or flight smell just start. It makes my other bodily functions stink too, everything. It's disgusting and embarrassing but true.

    How are you now Iceland girl? My resolved in about a week. I had vertigo once before going gluten free and it lasted four weeks. It was awful. The doctor gave me head exercises to do, which cleared it up.

    The vertigo only lasted a little while. I have felt some dizziness, but not the spinning sensation since then. Now I am having edema, but only stage 2. Thanks for the replies! Eta- I was having a sharp pain in my ear. I always get ear pain from gluten, I can't even get a q-tip in my ear it hurts so bad. It is never usually a sharp pain though, so that...

    I used to have PMDD before going gluten free. Now I sometimes don't remember my period is coming until it starts. It absolutely can affect hormones.

    I have not had vertigo in years. Glutened myself on Monday, woke up today with vertigo. It's only bad when I move certain ways. If anyone else gets this, how long does it last for you? I feel like cursing I am really mad about this symptom I guess because it wasn't expected.

    I wish all of my responsibilities besides sleeping and going to the bathroom could disappear.

    I'm An Idiot

    Steph1 posted a blog entry in Steph1's Blog

    I just wanted to vent. I have been gluten-free for about 3 years. I have tried gluten challenges but never make it past 2 weeks. So I figured I would try enterolab, since supposedly it is more sensitive. I ate gluten for the last 2 weeks of 2014, sent in my sample. Came back positive. So I have been more careful than before- just washing hands more...

    Thanks everyone! I am a little bit teary because this site is such a blessing. When I first went gluten-free 3 years ago I found that dairy, peanut, soy, msg, and tree nuts made me sick. That is all pretty much better, though. I never eat actual corn, though. Maybe those crackers and cookies are made with corn, and I have difficulty digesting it. I...

    I am feeling better, for the most part. My vitamin levels are all good now, my thyroid is better. But if I have like 10 gluten-free crackers it hurts my belly. I will be bloated and it hurts my lower abdomen. I know that it is not just the fact that it's junk because I can eat a lot of sugar candy and it is fine.

    I am wondering if most people on here are fine with gluten free treats, cereals, etc. I get some symptoms from them, I think, though not as bad as gluten. It just makes me concerned that perhaps gluten isn't my problem if gluten-free foods make me feel unwell also.

    Which foods have sulfites? I tried to look it up before but I wasn't too successful.

    That is awesome Ken. I have been cutting down on meat a lot lately, but have fish a few times a week.

    My dad recently told me that contrary to popular belief, wood is best. Quick search I saw this Open Original Shared Link

    BLM- I did nap whenever possible during withdrawal. I also had a constant headache for 3 weeks. It is the worst just waking up with a headache every day.

    I also wanted to add that my tests usually come back clean too...just once it said infection and that was after saying screw it and eating gluten for like 2 weeks. I chalked it up to chronic inflammation and worn down immune system.

    Bladder pain in the urethra and some incontinence are major issues when I have gluten.
  19. Steph1
    Hi, I'm new around here too. I agree with Beth, the hardest thing at first is stopping yourself from just tasting things. When you stop eating gluten all the time your body freaks out when it gets in. I glutened myself accidentally once a week for about a month before I got the hang of it. You will get the hang of it. Another thing is not to eat out...

    my heart almost feels like it is beating out of my chest and skips a beat or two. This is exactly how it feels. Last time my thyroid was checked my ths was 3.5. So I am not on meds, but assuming I will be at some point. I have a script for a complete blood work up, so I will go tomorrow. Thanks.

    Since eating gluten the other week, I have been having, I don't know, heart palpitations? My heart just feels like it starts beating hard and irregular just for maybe a second or two. This is a completely new symptom and it is freaking me out. I notice it maybe 10 times per day. Does anyone else experience this from gluten?

    Where in New Jersey?? Uggh it wasn't even a good cookie. Students gave me homemade cookies and chocolate covered pretzels today. I gave them away already. I just have to have a reserve of gluten free treats that I like that are only to be eaten in case of emergency. Thank you everyone. It really makes me feel better to know I am not the only one who...

    Does anyone else or did anyone else have difficulty staying gluten free when menstruating? Any suggestions? I don't always eat it when I menstruation, but every few months I convince myself that I will be fine. Then I am sick for a week or two. Headaches, joint pain, incontinence (awesome) swollen ankles and feet, etc. Right now I'm still having ear...

    I thought fermented food is good for the gut?

    My daughter has had wheezing, snoring, hay fever and sleep apnea since she was about 1. The allergist. Prescribed nasal spray and said it is very possible it will progress to asthma. I took her off gluten 3 weeks ago. She didn't snore 1 night and had a normal bm. She is beginning to keep up with other kids when playing. She was glutened on Saturday so...
