Hello all! Update on my gluten free journey. I am 4 months in and I am beginning to get my energy back, granted some days are better than others, of course. I have been on a consistent intake of multi's, probiotics, l-glutamine, D and Magnesium. I am curious when you all started to see improvements in your bloating? Mine has improved, but...

Hey there! 7 weeks in on my healing journey this way. I would absolutely suggest seeing a dietician or naturopath to support your healing journey. I say naturopath only because they deal primarily with supplemental supports to expedite healing. They will be able to look at your blood tests and suggests therapeutic doses for your specific needs!! However...

Not strictly vegetarian, I eat MOSTLY veg lifestyle, but, whatever my body is craving, I give to it. I've not tried the above protocol, however, I am so open to trying it! I have a naturopathic and dietetic appointment next week too, so I mention all the above to them!! UPDATE: I also do shift work, and with all the changes in my diet, I think I...

I have been quite diligent! Mostly whole foods-fruits/veggies, smoothie form/salad form/soup form. Cauliflower rice, gluten-free rice, gluten-free pasta. I do eat tofu and soy products more often than not (tempeh, soy based vegan cheese) I have had some avocado toast on some gluten-free bread the past few days.

Hi all! I am about a month into my gluten free diet, I was feeling better initially, now, I have been having some sinus problems, headaches and fatigue. It almost feels like I’m constantly coming down with a cold, but, it never actually happens. Has anyone experienced this in the initial stages of their healing journey? Currently taking: ...

Rigorous exercise + inflammation/fatigue?
scanlanmd replied to scanlanmd's topic in Sports and Fitness
Thank you so much for your thorough response!! I ammmmm assuming that most of these symptoms dissipate once you are farther along on the healing journey? I currently take l-glutamine, multi-vitamins (which contain some thiamine), vitamins C + D (has calcium mixed in with it). But, I am definitely going to look into upping the thiamine to see if... -
Hi all! Newly diagnosed here and a quick Q! Does anyone else have an issue, pre-or-post diagnosis, with fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and general malaise after rigorous exercise? I came across an article somewhere, where it said that due to the inflammation, when you exercise it causes even MORE inflammation which causes a myriad of "unwell" symptoms...

Hey there! Newly diagnosed with a level of 60 (60 being indicated at the lab as being "high"). My doctor, along with other blood indications, diagnosed me as definitively having celiac disease. Keep in mind, I have struggled with symptoms for nearly a decade and have reduced MANY "allergy containing" foods prior to getting impromptu tested again. Due...

Yes, 2 years is what I have been noticing here on the forum as a standard parameter! Thank you for your insight!! I am going to be quite rigid with the process, so I am hoping that that will quicken the process, 🤞

GREATLY appreciate your response!! I have definitely noticed my headaches/fatigue decreasing after eating, general alertness coming back. But, yes, the probiotics/kefir and everything else I’m putting in my body have definitely highlighted my bloating, LOL.

Hello all, I recently received positive blood tests indicative of celiac disease (awaiting endoscopy referral). It’s taken me nearly a decade to get this diagnosis and it’s a weight off my shoulders (female/30). I have chosen to go gluten free immediately, with the pandemic prolonging surgeries, etc. My doctor told me it may be a significant wai...

Hello all, In having to engage in social distancing, I stocked up on pastas and breads, something I do not particularly engage in all that often under normal circumstances. In eating more than usual amounts, this rash has come back. This rash first made an appearance almost 8 years ago and comes and goes. I do experience other GI disturbances, headaches...

ARCHIVED Blood test/symptom interpretation?
scanlanmd posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi guys! I am a 25 year old female who has always been very food, health an exercise conscious. I have been struggling with chronic fatigue for almost 3 years now. I have had symptoms progress quite rapidly recently, which lead me to seek out blood work. The symptoms I've been experiencing have been severe bloating, extremely poor digestion, loose stools...
