That's awful. Wheat belly was written by a cardiologist. People don't want to change their eating habits. Such a simple remedy that makes a world of difference.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think this book saved my life. I don't know if you have celiac disease. If you do, I'd definitely recommend this book.

I was never so sick as when I was first diagnosed with celiac. I stopped eating all wheat etc. I didn't know that I was going through withdrawal. Wheat is very addictive. After the first few months, I started to feel better although not all the way. That's when I read the wheat belly diet book. I eliminated all grains and grain products. Which meant...

Gluten AND sugar withdrawal anyone?
Flash1970 replied to Skoit's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Cutting gluten is very hard. I had physical withdrawals for about a month. I didn't start seeing any difference until about 4 months. One day I woke up and I didn't have severe pain in my joints. Sugar is hard to stop. Try to at least use honey or another natural sweetener like maple syrup. Just limit the amounts. At least they have more ingredients... -
The first month after I was diagnosed with celiac was horrible. I felt worse than I ever felt before my diagnosis. After following the diet for maybe a month maybe 2, I began to notice lessening symptoms. At month 4, I woke up one morning and felt good. My inflammation and stomach issues were not there. I actually felt good. So keep to the diet, don...

Brain fog is a real and awful thing. When I was first diagnosed with celiac, 10 years ago, I kept having brain fog. I was eating gluten free. By some chance I ran across a book named Wheat Belly Diet. Written by a cardiologist. In it he discusses how eating grains affects the brain. I read the book, and decided to give up all grains. That meant giving...

Symptoms for 3 years.
Flash1970 replied to TylerB's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Tyler, The easiest test to detect celiac disease is a blood test. I was anemic for years. Couldn't get in the normal range. Also had thyroid disease and couldn't get enough thyroid to be absorbed. Brain fog was rampant, thought I was losing my mind. My endocrinologist, insisted that I go to a gi specialist. When I told him my symptoms, he said that he... -
Hi, I was diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago. I didn't have a lot of stomach problems, but had chronic bad anemia. When I stopped eating gluten, I felt so bad I thought something else was wrong. I kept calling my Dr and he said to keep on the diet and I'd feel better in a few months. Well it took at least 4 months before I felt better. I still didn...

Still not feeling normal.
Flash1970 replied to briandjoyce's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, My first few months after I went off gluten were horrible. I was diagnosed with celiac disease and my doctor just said look on the internet and quit eating gluten. I felt way worse than I ever did when I was eating gluten. I was totally miserable. I kept calling him and he said just stick with it. So I did. I ate gluten free. I did have processed foods... -
Hi. I was anemic for years. I didn't know I had celiac. Finally one Dr insisted I go to a gastroenterologist and get tested. It turned out I had celiac disease. I didn't really have other symptoms. Turns out anemia is one of those weird things that can result from celiac. Once I got on a gluten free diet, the anemia was resolved. It takes a long time. I was...

Can an Energy Guru Really Help Your Celiac Disease?
Flash1970 commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I don't know if remote energy healing works. Seems far fetched. I've taken meditation classes and healing classes. Both seem to help. I always feel better after I meditate. When I do an energy healing, I can tell the difference the next day. I feel a lot better and my stomach seems to be better. It doesn't cure celiac disease. I follow a strict diet. It...
