Not Feeling Any Better

Help!

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
 

i have been gluten free for over a month and i am not feeling better. some symptoms have stopped but other are still here and it driving me nuts! Night time is the worst! the gas keeps me awake at night and makes me sweat and not be able to sleep. my body hurts from right under my rib cage to my uterus to the point where i where i have to un button my pants when i set down even though all my pants are 2 sizes to big from the 20 lbs i lost from the Celiac Disease. i have checked everything from my lotion to my dish washing detergent and i feel like i hit a dead end. my nutritionist gave me Probiotics to try, they are Flora Q. do anyone think that they will help? what are the side effects of them? should i wait until the weekend to try them? do i need to eat before i take them?

 

sorry for all the questions, i am just scared that i will never feel better and im getting married in Sept and i need to feel better!

 

any input would help.

 

Thanks,

I also didn't get completely better after I eliminated the gluten (though I was much better). To make a long story short (if you want to know the long story, I'll be glad tell you) I got food allergy testing. It is a blood test. Because my celiac went misdiagnosed for so many years, my body started rejecting all the foods that I was eating. Celiac is after all an autoimmune disease. The 1st testing, I was NOT allergic to only 5 foods! I was tested further, and we found another 6 foods that I can eat. Had they found the celiac earlier, I wouldn't be in such a mess, but at least I finally have peace and no bloating. The doctor is hoping that once my body heals, I'll be able to add back some of the foods that I'm not "supposed" to be allergic to. I sure hope so. Good luck.

Thanks so much for this info. i have a test tomorrow to see if the fruit that i am eating is bothering me, since its only 1 of the 4 things that i have been eating. my nutritionist talked to me about the blood testing for food problems but she said she didn't want to go that route yet. i will speak to her about it tomorrow. i have found that i have an issue with White rice. i hope that they don't find to many things i cant eat! i also hope that you are able to add things back to your diet once your body heals. thanks again for help. and good luck to you too.
