    I'm glad to see that you got answers. I hope that he's doing fine now.

    Tracey, just to reiterate what Nancy said, there can DEFINITELY be a delay in reaction. I was able to get gluten products for months without syptoms and, then, BAM was hit with the symptoms like never before. This is just an extreme example to show, but I have shorter lapses of time between being glutened and feeling the consequences. I will pray for you...

    Hello! I hope you are well. I am almost certain that I posted a topic discussing Joint Pains and Rheumatoid Factor yesterday afternoon and I can't find it. Could you help?

    Hello, I'm sure many of you are getting used to seeing my name associated with joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness . Hopefully that will soon be a memory. QUESTION: Has anyone had joint pains and my other symptoms as well as a slightly abnormal Rheumatoid Factor and THEN became okay? As in symptoms are gone and never came back? PLEASE let...

    I second what everyone has been saying: download or buy some relaxation, sleeping music; write down the issues that are ailing you and burn them or throw them away or simply vent on the page and then do something rejuvenating; pray or meditate (this is often intimidating, but it doesn't have to be long at all. you could do it for a few seconds. just deep...

    Hi! I'm no experiment, but I do believe that you should avoid dairy for while longer. There are so many ways that the bodies reaction to Celiac Disease and having been glutened can lead to possibly temporary non-gluten food intolerances. So, I would think that that is what's happening with you. As that is what seemed to happen to many and many other Celiacs...

    Hi Belinda! I'll be praying for your child's quick recovery. I think it will be a matter of weeks. And, look at the blessing, your child is still so young, so she won't miss gluten and grow up knowing already what not to eat. Have a nice day, Florence

    I encourage you to document what you're eating when the pains arise. Perhaps it is a complication with having been glutened previously or it's something that you're eating now. I definitely would experience abdominal pains while I was glutening and not glutening myself for the past four year. So, I can relate to the symptoms. I hope that these symptoms clear...

    hey! i'm definitely sorry to hear about your difficulty with the people you were with and Red Lobster's. It can be so difficult managing Celiac Disease and the world separately, let alone together! I encourage you to keep venting when necessary and feeling better as a result. Keep your head up, Flo

    Nancy, I encourage that diet change. I am hoping that my joint/muscle pains, stiffness and tenderness are related to my diet. So, I'm gluten-free (due to Celiac) and lectin-free to be safe. I basically eat only vegetables, fruits and meats/chicken/some fish. I can't say that I've seen drastic results. It is day to day and a bumpy road at that. Although, I...

    Thanks EVERYONE for your responses so far. Yeah, Julie5914, I'm not sure if Tylenol is gluten-free, that might be part of the problem. As posted, I have heard that Advil is gluten-free. Good luck with everything everyone. Please continue to send me information as you get it as it relates to joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness. Florence

    Hello, I'm sorry I can't be of any assistance with these test results. I have a question though: With what type of doctor did you take these tests? On a basic level, can you explain to me what these tests means? Maybe I should take them. Much love and fortune, Florence
  13. Lovinglife
    Hello beautiful people: I need to know, how long have you been gluten-free? AND how long have your Celiac Disease related symptoms persisted AFTER having been gluten-free? PAST: I ask because I've had celiac disease for about 4 years. (What brought my attention to the disease at first was persistent, severe joint pains that went away shortly after I...

    Dear Jessica, I'm happy to hear that you've managed to get some answers. YES, be gluten-free/wheat-free as necessary. Take care of yourself. Love, Florence
  15. Lovinglife
    I'm glad, so glad, to hear about people's improvements. THANK GOD!
  16. Lovinglife
    Tina, my dear, I COMPLETELY understand. FIRST begin by writing what you CAN eat. You will be surprised at the length of the list. To begin: fresh meats, fresh chicken, fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, gluten-free pastas (taste ALMOST THE SAME), cheese, many ice creams, many forms of chocolate candy bars, gluten-free cakes and brownies and pastries (yes, they...

    Yes, anger is definitely a natural, even beautiful part of the process of acceptance. Also, as many have said, it's also important for us to be grateful for the diseases that we DO NOT have, for the life that some of us can still LIVE. Right now I'm suffering with a lot of muscles and joint pains and stiffness and being gluten-free is hardly annoying or upsetting...

    Hey, welcome. I too send my encouragement and support via the forum. To begin, start with the basics. It's safest to have basic, great foods like fresh foods (meats, vegetables, fruits, etc). I would begin to add things slowly to jazz up your diet. There is a wealth of information on this site as well as information on the major search engines like Google...

    Let me echo the sentiments of everyone else when I say: DON'T GIVE UP. It's a trying time for many of us for a variety of reasons, Celiac Disease and its complications not the least of them, but we all have to press on. There is something to hope for, something bigger than the pain, confusion and fatigue. Hold on. I'm praying for you and everyone else. ...

    Alexis, I'm glad to hear that you are going on the gluten-free diet. I have come to find that it's best to take the reigns of one's health! Florence
  21. Lovinglife
    Stephanie, I definitely feel your pain as I am experiencing something very similar: joint and muscle pains and soreness, stiffness throughout my ENTIRE body, etc. How long have you been gluten free? How long have you been feeling your pains? Where is the overlap? It has been a little over a month and a week since these symptoms have flared up. I have been...

    Hey, Lauren! Where and when will you be posting your paper? I would LOVE to read it because this all applies to me. Hope to hear from you soon, Flo
  23. Lovinglife
    I would suggest committing to the gluten-free diet NOW. If not 100%, at least minimized, because I would imagine that, like many if ud, your body has gotten its share of abuse and probably needs some relief. Much love and luck to you. Florence
  24. Lovinglife
    Thanks very much! This DEF made me smile. I appreciate the humor and the quotation about hope on the bottom of you post. Withh love, Flo
  25. Lovinglife
    I HIGHLY suggest you try the gluten-free diet. It can possibly do wonders for your situation and that of your son. Begin first with the basics: Meats, fresh fruits, vegetables, pure fruit juices. Then begin to layer on other things like potatoes, substitue pastas (that are, of course, gluten-free). Keep researching. Good luck! We're in this together,...
