ARCHIVED Has Anyone Done The Gluten Challenge?
Linda352 replied to cgilsing's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This morning I did decide to challenge myself by eating some Shredded Wheat. The box has been sitting in my cupborard half eaten since I went gluten-free 2 mos ago. I hate to throw food out if I don't have to so I figured I would see what would happen I've been paying for it all day with my arthritus symptoms. The rest of the box is now in the garbage... -
ARCHIVED What I've Learned So Far About Myself...
Linda352 replied to Linda352's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks Patti for your kind wishes Yes my cake was quite deliceous! Glad you are feeling much better after being gluten-free for as long as you have. I hope I can keep it going as well as you have. I still have yet to venture out to a restaurant or anywhere else to eat. As long as I'm home I'm good Linda -
ARCHIVED What I've Learned So Far About Myself...

Hi George....I have also cut back on my sugar consumption. I rarely eat any baked goodies anymore, however since today is my b'day one of my DD's brought over a flourless chocolate cake yesterday which did have lots of sugar in it and it did not affect me at all. Aside from this I really hadn't had any sugar since last summer. I do think that this has also... -
ARCHIVED What I've Learned So Far About Myself...
Linda352 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello All! Well, I've been gluten free for about 2 months now and have really been feeling so much better but not complete. I haven't been tested by any doctors but just doing my own elimination diet to see what might be causing me to be in so much pain. Drs told me it's arthritus and I will have to learn to live with it...They don't know me very well... -
ARCHIVED Tired All The Time...
Linda352 replied to Elizabeth-Elindel's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Living here in New Jersey is very drab at this time of the year. It seems that when the sun doesn't shine I don't shine either and I have no energy whatsoever. Every year during these dreary months..Jan, Feb, March....I think that there must be something wrong with me. Last year I actually went and had a physical and all was fine. Come to think of it I... -
BERNESES, Glad you have found that the EP oil is working for you. Maybe I will have to give that a try again Linda

I have found that since I've been cutting out gluten and sugar my "Tropical flashes" have lessened tremendously during the day. However, at night after I have my usual glass of wine with dinner they reappear and the night sweats are unbearable. As of tonight I am giving up my glass of wine for the next 2 weeks to see if the night sweats disappear.....

ARCHIVED Excessive Sweating When Glutened
Linda352 replied to Mballerina's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes, I also have noticed that my night sweats are a little less since I've been eating gluten-free but I think I will also have to give up my nightly glass of wine with dinner as I know when I was dieting last summer and had to give up these favorite treats I did sleep a lot better and didn't have any problems with this terrible discomfort. Beginning tonight... -
ARCHIVED Waking Up Every Hour To Pee
Linda352 replied to wilbragirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This has been a real problem for me for some time also. Heaven help us if hubby and I are going for a long car trip as it's never too long before I will be calling out for a pit stop! Night time is a real problem and even though I make sure I don't drink anything several hours before bedtime I still will wake up 90 min. after falling asleep with that... -

ARCHIVED Who Here Has Not Been Tested?
Linda352 replied to Linda352's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Carol, Thanks for your reply. I have been interested in this Enterolab test that I've been reading so much about here. Thanks for cluing me in on the price of it. If I get desperate enough I may just spring for it. In the meantime I will just rely on my own diagnosis (much cheaper) and see if eating gluten-free continues to work for me. See you on the... -
ARCHIVED Who Here Has Not Been Tested?
Linda352 replied to Linda352's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks to all of your replies. I feel so much better knowing that I don't have to go through the tests for confirmation. I am interested in learning that a colonopscopy might be able to detect Celiac? I am overdue on having this test but when I do get around to it I will ask about this. Good health to all...Linda/NJ -

Shellbean, thanks for your reply and Welcome to the group. I just joined this amazing site yesterday and can't seem to keep myself away from my computer since discovering this site Sounds like you have really been through the ringer since your gallbladder problem. I'm sure you must be quite frustrated with all the testing and no real confirmed fines... -
Steph...Count me on on your pity party I miss the breads and all the other good .. I mean bad stuff. I've done pretty well staying away from bread since summer when I had to eliminate it while doing the South Beach Diet. This is what got me thinking about the gluten factor giving me a problem as I felt much better when I didn't eat this back then. I...

ARCHIVED Who Here Has Not Been Tested?
Linda352 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have not been tested for the wheat/gluten factor but am finding on my own that I must have an intolerance to these. I am curious if anyone else on these boards have also just found out through trial and error rather than through testing that they too are sensitive? It seems that a lot of tests come back negative even though many of you are finding that... -
ARCHIVED Stiffness
Linda352 replied to charlotte's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Patti! I live in the southern part of Monmouth County. Where are you located? I used to wake up very stiff in the neck/shoulder area. I also used to sleep with a cervical neck thing as I just couldn't get comfortable without it. The only dr. that has given me satifaction over the years is my chiropractor who I've gone to faithfully for about 5 yrs now... -
ARCHIVED Stiffness
Linda352 replied to charlotte's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Donna, I am so happy to have found your thread as I have the same symptoms..upper back, neck, shoulders. I was diagnosed with disc degeneration in my cervical spine 10 yrs ago and nothing has really helped. After being told that I would have to learn to live with this I lost my faith in the medical profession and started doing my own research. It wasn't... -
Yes, I do cheat occasionally as I'm still new at this and still learning about what I can and can't consume. I had recently been introduced to the Apple Martini (before I started the gluten-free diet) and was craving one over the weekend so I tested myself by having one. I don't get most of the symptoms that most of you seem to suffer but I suffer with severe...

Hi! I just discovered this site and am hoping to learn a lot from all of you. Although I haven't been tested for gluten Intolerance I am discovering on my own that I am better off physically if I stay away from these particular foods. I am 54yrs of age and have been suffering with degenerative disc disease in my upper spine (neck/shoulder) for many years...
