Hi everyone. I went gluten free for several months and then tried adding gluten to test myself. I didn't really have any GI symptoms, so I continued eating gluten. I have developed numbness and tingling in my legs, fingers, tongue and lip. It didn't hit me til just now that maybe that is from the gluten. I remember reading that after going gluten free...

After suffering for many years with various health problems, I finally found out a lot of my symptoms matched possibly celiac. So in May I went gluten free and for 6 weeks I had lots of improvement. Then I decided to go back on gluten to see what happened. Within one day all my symptoms came back, especially brain fog and an achey feeling in my brain ...

Are tortilla chips or corn tortillas at mexican restaurants safe? Is cheese dip safe generally? Thanks!

Hi all, After being gluten-free for about a month, I think I may have been glutened a week ago because I had to go out of town and eat at a restaurant. I tried really hard to pick non-G food. I developed really bad hemorrhoids, what seemed to me to be mild C, and having a hard time getting over those. It is taking so long that I'm wondering if I'm...

I am working really hard to make sure I stay gluten free, but for some reason I got the bad H's last weekend. Sorry for the gross topic. Is this a symptom of being glutened?

Thankyou very much. I really appreciate the link and the other comment. I'll check it out.

I'm not definitely diagnosed celiac yet, but I DO know without reservation that going gluten free has lifted my fog. It is the most amazing thing to not dread eating. Everytime I used to eat, I braced myself for that awful fogging over and unwell feeling in my brain. I am hypoglycemic and had tried going sugar free but always got much sicker trying that...

I'm wondering what other people's experience with ataxia has been because I've never found anyone else who has it. I am improving in some wonderful ways gluten free, but as of yet my ataxia has not improved. Of course, I would expect it to take much longer. I'd like to know how this symptom is for others and how long it took to improve after you went...

Hi Monica, Robbin and Leah, Thanks! I really know what you mean about sort of pretending I'm okay to the world even though I'm suffering a lot! I don't want to be a complaining wimp either, and I often feel I'm living a lie in a way. When I think about how the real me feels compared to how I try to make it look it is a huge difference. I want to...

In my early 20's I got severe C and diagnosed with IBS. I got no real treatment and no further tests and was sent home to suffer through it. Then late 20's hypoglycemia - "drink a coke" said the doctor. 30's got very very sick and could barely walk with severe fatigue, brainfog etc. I became disabled and still verrry fatigued. Diagnosed with CFS, the...

Hi Rachelle, I became very ill with symptoms like you describe and had the same trouble with doctors. They are good at what they know, but nutrition issues and body chemistry, they just dont' seem to be able to help. I can't get any doctor to help either. I have hypoglycemia and I have learned that if your blood sugar drops too rapidly, even if it...

I just realized it says "Artificial flavors and colors." Has anyone already researched this one? This might be a dumb question...I'm still learning! Thanks so much for any info. I'm still so new to this and thought all soda pop was okay. Melodi

Oh, that's really beautiful! Thanks for sharing it. It does help to think of it that way! I know I am learning a lot from my struggles and am becoming more understanding of other's weaknesses. Melodi

I don't know how to quote yet, but I agree, "(yeah, you would be anxious too if you were sick and your doctors didn't care)" I think IBS is a lot like a CFS diagnosis (I've been dx with both). If I have chronic fatigue, help me find out WHY? It's sort of like if you break your leg and they call it "leg hurting syndrome" and do nothing to make it better...

I just wanted to throw in another possibility. If I drink anything with Nutrasweet in it my brain goes haywire and dizzy. I wonder if the Sprite was sugarfree. I also have hypoglycemia and that definitely sounds like a possibility to me. Maybe it was more than one thing that zapped you. I'm glad you're doing better. I know how frightening that...
