    My IBS symptoms have actually improved. I haven't had any diarrhea since going through withdraw 2 months ago. My Fibro has not improved. sadly. I've been having more flare ups lately, but my anxiety has been pretty bad so that may explain it. Even though I still have some bad days, my stomach has felt so much better. My bad days are not that bad really. I...

    Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I was last on here. I finally had my appointment with my GI. He said it's definitely not Celiac, but probably Non-Celiac Gluten sensitivity. He said I don't have to be as anal as I have been but as long as the gluten free diet is making me feel better, than stay on it. He said the difference between Celiac and Non Celiac...

    Hello everyone. I have an appointment with my GI on May 10. I was just wondering what I should be looking for in a good GI to help treat the gluten sensitivity. This way I can decide after the appointment if I want to continue seeing him or look elsewhere. I am already seriously considering changing my regular physician after 32 years. He joined a much larger...

    Did you ever find a dietitian? I am in Southern Chester County (Boarder line of PA and DE) and I have decided to see a nutritionist. Thanks

    Hello Doublejump. I feel your pain. I have been wearing sweatpants for 5 weeks due to the bloating being so bad. Today I was able to wear a pair of stretchy jeans. I was so excited. But I ate dinner and now I need to get back into my sweats. I take my happy moments anywhere I can so I focus on all my good moments to avoid getting lost in the negativity...

    Thanks for the replies. There is definitely a learning curve here. I have noticed improvements since starting the diet, but I was hoping to be further along since my entire life is on hold right now.

    I must be more careful in the kitchen. My kitchen is not 100% gluten free because my husband hasn't gone 100% gluten free. Anything I make him will be, but when he makes himself something - almost ALWAYS processed foods - I never think to get in there after him and scrub, scrub, scrub. I will from now on. Oddly, I wasn't thinking and made leftovers with that...

    I never thought of coconut oil which I have in my cabinet and use for baking. I will definitely try that next time. Butter I will have to skip because it has never agreed with me. Thanks for the advice.

    Pretty sure I just glutened myself. Twice!! First let me start off by saying my nausea has finally started letting up. (Clapping excitingly) The first time I felt a problem was last night. About a half hour after dinner. I became more bloated than I already am and I felt a lot of pressure. An hour after dinner I started feeling pressure in my chest and it...

    I had an apple this morning - a pink lady to be exact - and I can't believe how nauseous it made me. I've been eating Honey Crisp forever with no problems. Why all of sudden are apples making me sick? I was actually feeling somewhat better until that darn apple. It took me a few hours before feeling a bit better. I'm still not feeling as well as I did this...

    Hi Ruth. I am very new here also, but I can totally relate to the anxiety. I have anxiety and depression too. I've been dealing with a lot of extreme nausea which is making me very anxious and depressed. I don't have any words of wisdom, but you will find a lot of great advice and support here. I am on day 11 of my diet and still waiting to feel better...

    Thanks for the information. I didn't think about additives. I suspected the syrup because when I eat sugary snacks like candy, ice cream, ect.. I get very nauseous which has never happened before. Eating any type of "meal" right now is difficult because the nausea and bloating are so bad I can only eat a little at a time. Withdrawal has begun, so I'm a bit...

    Hello everyone. Since starting the gluten free diet, I have suddenly become very sensitive to sugar. It makes me extremely nauseous. But I really enjoy pancakes and waffles, but the syrup - which is gluten free - has been make me sick to my stomach, so I am assuming it's from the sugar. I have been trying to find a sugar free/gluten free syrup but I am...

    Thank you so much. I, AGAIN, was feeling better this morning until lunch. From then on my nausea intensified. I am so bloated it actually hurts. I can't deal with anyone right now because I'm so irritable. I bite hubby's head off TWICE tonight. I will apologize profusely in the morning. I have not felt this nauseous in about a week . I have no idea where...

    Kathouse- I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. I have been depressed and anxiety disorder my whole life so I am already medicated and being treated for those, so that is a big help when dealing with the depression and anxiety from the withdrawal. I am very sorry you don't feel your husband is being supportive. So far my husband has been very supportive...

    Thank you everyone. I knew I'd get excellent advice. I guess the depression is getting the better of me and my craving for bread is getting to me also. Cutting out foods that I love is difficult, but I know necessary. I guess I will have to be more vigilant in the kitchen.

    Thank you deb445. I have had my thyroid tested several times over the years and it always came back normal. I was thinking maybe withdraw kicked the thyroid in to overdrive and it's putting out more than it should. I have other withdrawl symptoms; headache, bloating, fatigue. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how I could...

    I am pretty sure I am. Nothing goes in my mouth until I've read the label. I've replaced toaster, all plastic kitchen utensils, pots and pans except one stainless steal pot which I read is ok to keep using. All my prescription meds are gluten free. I keep my food and kitchen utensils separate from my husbands. I started feeling better the other day. Nausea...

    Today is day 7 of my gluten free diet. Withdraw symptoms starting yesterday and have gotten more intense. I've had a pounding headache for 3 days now and nothing seems to ease them. I can't sleep so I am absolutely exhausted and run down. I have little to no energy. Even talking is an effort. My throat feels swollen and it feels like I'm about to choke or...

    Thank you for the information. I will call the dr tomorrow to ask for a script for the blood panel. As for avoiding sugary foods- I'm noticing candy, gluten free of course. Is causing more nausea, bloating and pains and diarrhea. I hate the thought of cutting out potatoes because they've been a safety food for my IBS and acid reflux. But I'll try anything...

    Thank you. I thought it was odd he didn't draw blood to test for celiac first. Especially since he said it was possible that it could be celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. I would like answers as soon as possible for peace of mind as well as medical reasons. I don't want to add another few weeks of nausea unnecessarily. I think I will call the doctor...

    Hello. I have not been officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease as of yet. My doctor has put me on a Gluten-free diet to see if my condition improves. If so, then we will take it from there. My grandmother had celiac disease, so he thinks it's a good possibility given my history and symptoms. I have been diagnosed with IBS, which I've had since I was a teenager...
