I need to jump on here more often, it again has been about a year since I have made an appearance... Unfortunately, I am struggling big time lately. About 1 1/2 years ago my doctor sent me to a nutritionist to help me sort out my Gluten Intolerance (which has not been fully diagnosed as celiac disease yet.) After I had already been gluten free over...

I havent been here in almost a year. So much reading to catch up on. Things are still hard, its great to know that there are others out there with ED and celiac disease. Is anyone still reading this?

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I was losing hope thinking i was the only one who was struggling with gluten and an ED. Im in recovery i guess you could say, with constant ups and downs. This gluten thing has helped the same way in being able to restrict food. But thanks everyone so much for letting me know im not alone. It makes this easier and I knwo I can...

Thanks everyone. Luckily Adderall is what my doctor calls "Vacation Time" medicine. I can go on and off it whenever without a problem. Summer vacations I dont take it as well as the weekends for the most part. I feel the same after a week on, and after a week off it. He said it should be safe and that if i start to feel over stimulated after being...

Thanks Sarah. Its been about a month, and as i have said in another post, I am scared of being too careful. At this point I almost see it safer to not eat or only eat fruits and veggies and nothing else, which also roots back to eating disorder. Now, the foods that i have been eating and felt "safe" about, have been taken away and i need to figure it...

I would have written sooner but my internet has been down. Thank you all so much. Im still afraid im not taking this seriously enough. It has been about a month and besides that one vomiting episode I have been ok. I havent noticed much of a difference besides stomach aches and bowel movements. I think I am just too scared to be too careful....

Hi everyone. I struggle with anorexia and bulimia and am scared of gaining weight from being on this diet. From articles I have read about it, it seems that people generally gain weight? Am I wrong? I have finally hit a point where i can be content with my weight, but the thought that being on this diet that may have me gain weight, even though it helps...

I was diagnosed with ADD when i was 20. Now, two years later, I have gluten intolerance. Has anyone else noticed that their ADD has calmed down after going on a gluten-free diet? SHould i stop taking my medication and see what happens? Anyone know anything about this? Thanks!

Hi again and thanks everyone! Well, Im not a "celiac" yet just gluten intolerance i think and my doc wants me to see if it is worth going gluten-free. I have not eliminated dairy and have had alot of it and feel fine after wards. No reaction. I dont understand how careful i need to be, like shampoo or conditioner? I do take medicine for ADD. I take...

Hi. Im new and so happy to have found this board. I feel like the gluten-free diet isnt working for me. Ok a little background, I am 22 and just graduated college. Ive always had stomach aches, gas, and heartburn, but, about a year ago I started throwing up, bad stomach cramps and having diahreah for about a week every three months. One time I actually...
