    I have been on the gluten free diet for about a week now. It seems like a miracle so far. All of my pains have disappeared and I feel so much better. My symptoms have decreased dramatically. I have been eating alot of the same foods starting out until I can figure out what is safe to eat. I am just amazed at how this diet has helped my problem. I was...

    I haven't been officially diagnosed with celiac but I have been for acid reflux and IBS. All of my symptoms are identical to celiac even symptoms from childhood. I actually just started my gluten free diet today (yea!). I do know that caffine always brought on the IBS in me. Every time I would drink it (I was a big Dr. Pepper addict! LOL) I would have...

    Just had to tell you this.....I just found out from a coworker that had I not quit my job on Friday, my boss was going to write me up or terminate me for having "excessive absenses". Even though I have doctor notes and hospital admittance notes for all my absenses. I wasn't out that much except when I had my gallbladder surgery (I was out 3 weeks). But...

    I saw on one of the replies on this forum that one of you have a "newbie" gluten-free diet starters package with files/emails to help someone new get started? I can't find that reply with your email address to request the package. I haven't been diagnosed but I am going to try the diet to see if it helps but I am overwhelmed with where to begin. It seems...

    Thanks for the replys. I am noticing that my symtoms are worse a couple days after I've eatten something with pasta in it or if I've had whole wheat bread. For about a week now my hip has been hurting really bad. I haven't done anything to it but it justs hurts to move or sit or stand and I'm only 33!. I had read that celiac can cause bone and joint pains...

    Does anyone know if stress can aggravate celiac symptoms? I haven't been diagnosed with celiac yet and I haven't started the gluten-free diet. I work in a very high stress job and my symptoms are 10 times worse when I work or come home after a very stressful day. I was told I had IBS and severe acid reflux and I know those symptoms are most definitely...

    Hi Linda and the others! Thanks for the encouragement and advice. It helps me tremendously! From what I know, they can't detect it with a colonoscopy but they had also done and EGD (the one they go down your throat and look at stomach and upper small intestine). That's when he "forgot" to look. He actually "forgot" I had even had my gallbladder removed...

    I had my gallbladder removed 5 months ago and since I have felt horrible. I have been to the GI doc and my regular doc to see why I have been so sick (severe abdominal pains, excessive painful stomach swelling, digestive problems, constipation, diarreaha, etc). I had a colonoscopy, EGD, CAT scan, Ultrasound, and several blood tests and everything comes...
