I had tea last night "yogi tea", they cant guarntee the whole gluten thing, tho they siad that they are gluten-free. They mention cross contamination or something.

Another Day

Today I woke up and felt kinda tired, but not too bad. I was tired cause i couldnt fall asleep, i was restless. Considering that i only got 6 hrs mabey and my overactive bladder kept me up once agian, i wasnt as exhausted as i would have thought. I even hiked through the snow storm this morning to work and didnt feel too tired when i got there. My stomach was bad this morning. Really constipated this morning, it was brutally painfully. Stomach bloated and gassy and sore. Not a pleasant BM, hard

A Turning Point

Today is day 18 gluten-free. An d today i feel is the turning point day. Despite the fact that i didnt sleep well due to my f^cking over active bladder, i had more energy than yesterday. My stomach symptoms were as followed: not as much indigestion/acid, gut twisting aches after eating (pretty intense), gas, pain in lower stomach and lower chest area, quesy feeling. However over all my symptoms were marginally less. I had some pressure headaches today, not as bad tho. Right now my stomach is so

A New Day

Today I had an edoscopy for celiac. I am waiting for the results which should be in by tuesday. Yesterday night I had some chicken soup that my mom accidentally added instant powder broth to that contained a small portion of wheat products. About 1 hr after i ate i was really bloated and had gassy pains and discomfort. This morning I had a semi-diarrhea poop and followed by and uncomfortabl wormlike pencil thin poop. Usually i dont poo two days in a row but i did and they were both uncomfortable

I has some more energy in the morning,m although as the day preceded, i felt sicker and my enrgy ebcame less and less. I have a schedualed Upper GI biopsy tommorow to test for celiac and

I Am Hating My Life Right Now

Its 2:15 am, i am feeling reaslly restless. My body is crying out for some activity. I feel what i call SKinny fat. I feel like I am skinny but fat at the same time. I feel soft and i wanna workout and move this doggone ( this word may have been changed by editors*) body.

Energy Is Getter Better

Today is a good day. Some of my energy has returned and I have been able to clear some things off of my desk. I have gotten about a week behind on things, due to the severe exhaustion I have been having. Then I took a bath in my deep whirlpool tub. It felt so great and I really needed the jets on my poor spine. Tonight my sweetie (husband) and I are going to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. I am really looking forward to that. Tuesday I see the specialist about my vision. If he has no answ

My body felt achey this morning, but i stretched and it seemed to take the aches away. Last night after the chicken i had terrible bloating and gas. I took a Gas-X and it seemed to

I Hate This

I feel like crap more so emotionally than physically. I wish I could just stay under my covers. I hate my life, this is unfair and I feel like crying every second of the day. my energy isnt as terrible right now, but iam not expecting it to stay this way because of past experiences. try hard to stay positive is most difficult when you can really beleiev that your life is going to eventually go back to normal and that you will feel better. How the hell do you tell yourself that everything will wo

I Hate My Life, I Want To Move On And Feel Better.

This morning I woke up feeling slightly tired but not too bad. I did a few stretches to help wake my body up.

I had rice toast with eggwhite, becel and strawberries. I feel bad right now. After I eat I get horrible head aches, liek someone is squeezing my head together. My eyes hurt too.

Its Been 1 Week On gluten-free Diet

I have been on the gluten free diet for 1 week now. Overall my symptoms are slightly less severe, but still hard to deal with. My appetite for food has become almost not existant. Nothing is appetizing. I feel ill after eating still, yet definatly not as horrible as 1 week ago, while still eating Gluten foods. My most horrible symptom right now is horrible pressure headaches after eating, expecially in the evenings. My energy really dips after eating. If my energy is low before eating, I feel e

Maintaining Diet While Traveling

First time blogger here!   Anxiety while traveling is a real diet killer.   Let me set the background of that previous statement. As an exercise buff (pardon the pun) and weight conscious working girl with celiac sprue, maintaining a slim figure is the one solace that helps me deal w/and accept my celiac sprue (and soy/casein intolerances.)   Perhaps the fate of a life of extremely limited food choices, makes it easier for me to lose weight (something I feel entitled to after being diag

Yesterday was a bad day. I had horrible digesting problems. Indigestion and pain in my stomach. I always feel awful after eating but yesterday i felt worse after I ate. I ate soem chicken and salad and about 1/2 hour later I almost doubled over in pain. The pain was like someone was pulling my intestines and pour hot vinegar on open wounds. The pain was sharp achey and "raw". It was really bad. However, I do not think I was glutened. I think it was just my body trying to digest the food. I d

First Entry, Symptoms, Feelings, Frusterations,etc

Hi,   This is my first entry.   I planned that yesterday was gonna be my first entry but, I felt so bad that i could barely type. I was sooo exhausted and I ached in every bone and muslce on my body. It was kinda scary not being able to get out of bed due to sheer exhaustion. I believe I was GLUTENED!!!!!   The day before yesterday, i felt alittle different, not better just different. It was my first day on a gluten free diet. My energy was and still is low but it seemed different two

Vision & Scleroderma

I cannot believe how dumb I can be at times. I noticed AGAIN that the next to last posting was not published and so I click on the mouse and publish it. Now my last blog is further down the line. I think I did this once before. I hate when I do something like this without thinking it through.   My vision has been really bad on and off today. When it is a little better, I then pick up the book I am reading and hold it about 6 to 8 inches from my face. But at least I can read. Yesterday m

Celiac Doctor Says He Has 100% Cure!?

Hello, This is my first time using a forum and hope I get it to work.   Question...Is there a CURE for Celiac disease?   There is a doctor advertising on this site. His name is Dr. Skip Snow. He says, in his site that he can and does cure Celiac disease, as well as other diseases.   It will cost me a lot of money, that I don't have, in order to try him.   Has anyone had any experience with him? Any success or failure to report?   Thanks, Bob

      John Scott pointed me to Wiki entry about the effect of diet on hookworm egg production: https://www.helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/NA_incubation:_very_detailed_method_by_Alana#Promotion_of_egg_viability_by_dietary_manipulation

      Nothing presently in my diet was mentioned in the article, but it does bring up the obvious point that my diet would naturally affect the health and wellness of the hookworms that live in my gut. Something to think about.

      Yes, there are several gluten-free certifications out there (one is the GFCO), and the usual standard they claim is 10ppm, however, recent findings indicate that even the GFCO's higher standards may not ensure that foods they certify are gluten-free:
