For me its just a rash on my upper arms that does itch and lasts for about 2-3 weeks. Before going gluten free it was on my back, face and scalp among other places. Just like every other symptom, it spreads and gets worse the more consistently I ingest gluten - accidentally or not. I don't know if it helps, but when its particularly bad, I rub some vitamin...

Hi, wine can be a problem for me too and I have reactions similar to those you describe. I learned from a more experienced, equally hyper-sensitive friend that you can try drinking unfiltered red wines. Since I started drinking the unfiltered reds, I haven't had a problem. I've started compiling a list of brands that are ok with me here: Open Original...

Hi All, I have a love hate relationship with restaurants too. I only enjoy eating out if I can pick the place. New places make me very nervous and I try to avoid them. Since going gluten free, however, I occasionally can't help but give in to the old urge to explore and I've been starting to keep track of where I can eat. All that trial and error shouldn...

I love Vietnamese food. I make eat the various types of pho soups, rice dishes and summer rolls (veggies and meat wrapped in rice paper - they aren't fried). Watch out for fish balls, fish sauce and soy sauce. I'm pretty sensitive so I stay away from just about any sauce.

Thanks everyone ! I'll try the alcohol swabbing and hopefully that will help. My parents are very understanding and I don't want them to give up their home made whole wheat (since I don't live at home). Also, even though my symptoms are manifesting clearly - its good to hear from you as a sanity check - no, its' not in my head! Thanks again, Jessica

Hi! I'm so glad you found this site. It improved my life quickly and don't feel bad about the long post. I think many of us start out that way. . I'm glad you're starting to feel better. Keep it up. I'm writing back not just for the general support though. After years of being an active kid, my celiac symptoms got really bad and I woke up every day...

Hi everyone, thanks for reading. I'm 26, living gluten-free for 2.5 years and starting to feel significantly better as of 8 months ago. * Whenever I visit my parents (3 times since starting to get better) I get very sick - very quickly. It's the same pattern every time: my joints start cracking and hurting, my stomach hurts and balloons (I look pregnant...

I've been gluten-free for a good 7 months now and have only recently been experiencing mouth sores. The weird part is that they aren't like the regular sores I recall getting on occasion throughout my life. These are only on the roof of my mouth and they seem to swell and shrink over the course of days. This has been going on for about a month now. I've never...

Lots of jargon in here, but very interesting: Open Original Shared Link

How long were you on new pans / utensils etc before you noticed a difference? I have 2 room mates who are non-celiac and am sharing their cooking/eating equipment. My major symptoms have started to go away but joint problems, low energy and brain fog are still around. I thought I just hadn't fully recovered, but maybe it's all due to trace amounts? If I...

Sadly, thats how I felt too. Or, I figured I was just getting old (at 22, 23, 24) and loosing energy. I've been gluten free for a few months now but my energy is only back to normal on ocasion. Could this be due to trace ammounts of gluten? Does anyone get foggy-sleepy symptoms from cooking / eating from pans and dishes that are also regularly used for non...

This is a really good question. I wish I had an answer but I wanted to post that I am very interested in this topic.

Yep, I had the same thing on my arms, back, lately even my face - they all have more or less disapeared with gluten-free diet. They pop up again on my body within a week of eating something bad.

Hmm that all sounds about right.... so what do i supliment with? All my joints are cracking and kind of hurt. I've been on a b-complex and just started potassium,magnesium,calcium should i get a zinc and manganese? I was looking at suppliments for cartilage-problems but i wasnt sure about it and it was pretty expensive. Thanks
