  3. I ertainly can feel for you about the tooth problems...Mine started a few years before DX then all of of a sudden I needed 2 teeth removed after rotting from iside out. every year since then i need a few cavities filled or old fillings replaced. My dentist does have to remove HARD plaque every 6 motnhs and thinks I neglect my teeth but I DO NOT. Just...
  4.

  5. I know how it is to feel like you are having little progress but if you had been sick some time before diagnosed it may take more time to get the small intestine healed enough to feel better making you feel like you have been cc'd. I have been a SLOW healer, took one and one half years before I started to feel progress. Still have to be careful but am much...
  6. Have you tried wearing socks to bed? I have the same problem of needing extra heat and clothing, has been worse since I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. my heart rate is quite low, Dr. says could be from some of my neccessary meds...hope you are better soon...evie
  7. Nearly one year after Celiac DX I found I have colitis too. Not using any meds but still experimenting to find what causes upsets of both problems...does anyone eer get to the point where you feel safe in what you eat? Do you think emotions enter into theses problems? I am wondering about the colitis if it does not...I am so much better than i was at DX of...
  8. I just recently read that going off gluten can cause deperession and related problems..like we are addicted to gluten..I have been thru that too..also does take time for the diarrhea and etc problems to get under control since people who have had this problem for some time take longer to heal their gut of the damage made by gluten...fiber is helpful for some...
  9. I FEEL FOR YOU DEB, I WAS IN YOUR PLACE ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. MY GASTRO HAD TOLD ME TO GO GLUTEN FREE AND SET UP AN ENDOSCOPY + COLONOSCOPY), THEY WERE BOTH OK.

  10. So right..it took several months for me to feel much better since I must have had the celiac condition for a long time...for some people it take s longer to start the healing process..try not to be anxoius, that will complicate things for you..feel better..evie
  11. I am wondering if you might have ulcerative colitis causing the bleeding...several months ago I had a colon infection that caused me to have the colitis..at that time the bleeding was severe but now only have it ocasionally..but have not been able to pinpoint the cause. I am celiac for one and one half years and have that pretty well under control but just...

  14. After going on gluten free diet it is common for awhile to feel like you are starving...I went thru that too, do not believe that will last too long for you..just EAT food good for you..extra protein helped me. Good you are on here..you will get a lot of good information here at Celiac.com...wish you well...evie

  18. I have used quinoa as a ceral for quite sometime, rinse it well before cooking. Our dd got me some from larger store that had already been rinsed, also the quinoa flakes make a very good & quick hot cereal, good in meatloaf, oatmeal like cookies and many uses. If that soapy stuff is not rinsed off it will even smell different UGH!! i want to try the idea...
