My gastritis didn't stop until I eliminated tea -- especially hot tea. I'm not sure why the hot bothers me worse than the iced tea, but it does. I also have problems with coffee.

I'm so sorry you're going through this! For me, the anxiety went away quickly -- but not all of it. I found that like many celiacs, dairy also gives me problems. When I cut out gluten and ALL dairy, I went from being extremely anxious and self-condemning to having a calm and peaceful mind. For this, I thank God!

I'm a fan of NOW Foods' vitamins, but their B complex says that although it does not have gluten containing ingredients, it is manufactured in a facility that processes gluten. Having had a reaction to something that came off a shared line before (although it was NOT from NOW Foods), I'm concerned enough to be looking for a good B complex without a risk of...

Regarding beans...you have to be careful with them. Some varieties are grown in the same fields with barley. In my last bag of pinto beans, I found 3 or 4 pieces of barley. Because of this, I don't eat any beans I don't sort myself. In other words, no canned beans -- even if they're labeled gluten free (I don't actually think I have ever seen that were)....

Thanks, Karen. Will do.

Sent you a pm.

I get SUPER self-critical when I'm glutened. I mean really, really bad! I tell myself over and over how worthless I am. Just like you, I can't get it out of my head. When I haven't been glutened, I'm as calm and happy as can be.

I've been gluten free since diagnosis about a year and a half ago. I'm currently taking: vitamin D -- was diagnosed with low levels magnesium -- started taking this as a result of a recommendation I read somewhere calcium -- I can't tolerate dairy CoQ10 -- was diagnosed with low levels vitamin A -- just started this yesterday. If I'm not eating...

I'm curious to know which supplements everyone takes and why.

My sister (who at least as far as we know does not have Celiac) was on a thyroid med and was doing fine on it, and then out of the blue she started having all kinds of horrible reactions to dairy. Two docs have told her that they think the manufacturer changed something in the formulation that damaged her gut and caused her problems. She got off of it, and...

My eyebrows filled back in and I noticed a big difference in my body hair. I think the hair on my head has also increased in quantity (I had lost quite a bit over the years, but fortunately, I had a lot to start with).

I can't eat out with my husband...ever. I used to eat out at one place that is very, very careful, but wound up getting glutened there eventually. That was about 2 months ago, and I'm still not over the after-effects. I can't afford to risk it. The only place I would consider eating out from now would be s a 100% dedicated gluten-free restaurant (there isn...

Nope, didn't know that. I only have anxiety following a glutening (beginning within minutes of exposure), and it follows a predictable pattern, so I'm guessing it's that and not my thyroid. The first time I took Kavinace it didn't do anything for me either. The next time I took two. Two seems to help blunt the edge of the anxiety some for me.

My functional medicine doc suggested that Kavinace might help me when accidentally glutened. It actually does seem to help some with the raging anxiety I get following a glutening. Anyone else have any experience with it good or bad, or know anything that might make it a bad idea to use?

Anxiety 100% gone unless I get glutened -- then it's back instantly. (I have to note that dairy also gives me anxiety, so I avoid it too). For me, the sequence when I get glutened is anxiety, then depression, then tiredness. After three days, these acute symptoms pass. Before I gave up gluten, it was just constant anxiety all the time.
