oh, and to answer your question, before my diagnosis my main symptom was extreme fatigue, and I felt way better after a few days! I used to take 2 hour naps after work, then wake up and go straight to bed for the night. of course there are still ups and downs since I am only 6 months gluten free, but overall I am so much more energized

That's interesting. I am 6 months gluten free and still trying to understand how my body reacts to gluten. I went to a restaurant a few days ago, felt great for the first 24 hours, then I started to have mood swings, then felt depressed and extreme fatigue for the last 3 days. No GI symptoms. I was not sure if I got glutened but I'm staring to think that maybe I was...

thank you for the tip!! can't wait to try some new recipes

Hi everyone

So I am gluten free since November 1st. I don't know how much time it usually takes before you start to feel better, but I started immediately feeling better and have more energy. For the first three weeks I was feeling very good. Then I had a few days of training where I had to eat outside and even with all the precautions I started having symptoms again, and now for the last few days I feel very tired and I sleep a lot, and just not feeling very good overall. I was wondering, do you think I was glutened, or my body is just not ''healed'' yet, because I've been gluten free for a few weeks only? I just wanted to share this with you because this makes me feel very depressed and frustrated right now...

Thank you everyone for your help! I thought it would be easier for me to make changes slowly but as I'm reading your advice, it feels like it's going to be easier to do it all at once, especially with all the precautions needed to avoid the cross-contamination. I am reading a lot of posts on the forum today and rented a few books about getting gluten-free. Did any of you consult a nutritionist, or did you just get all the information needed in books/internet?

Hi everyone

I am 26 years old and was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I plan on meeting with a nutritionist soon.

I was wondering how you made the changes with your diet - did you change all of your diet at once or did you slowly change your eating habits?

thank you and talk to you soon !!
