Thank you for the advice! I am so shocked at how awful this feels... definitely almost worse than before I was diagnosed. Hopefully this only lasts a few days... not months! I'll read through the Newbie 101 thread for sure. I learned a huge lesson that I cannot be eating out until this diet is completely mastered. I don't think I'll feel comfortable...

Hello! This is only my second post on this forum. My first post was introducing myself as I am a "newbie" because I was just diagnosed celiac a few weeks ago.

I was diagnosed with celiac after spending the first 23 years of my life suffering from symptoms and being misdiagnosed. FINALLY I have the answer I've been waiting for. Today marks day 7 gluten free... I must say I feel a tremendous difference in my energy level and feel like I don't need my ADHD medication as much. My constant eczema is clearing up slowly...
