Feeling Some Better!

I have been dairy free about 2 weeks and gluten-free about a week now. I have noticed that I am far less bloated and eating does not cause horrible pain. :D I sure hope this keeps up as it is so nice to not dread being hungry and needing to eat.

I do have a question. I am still feeling sore on my sides and lowerback. I am actually touch sentive. Plus the tingling in my legs is still there. My question is, do these symptoms take awhile to ease up as my body heals?

I am glad you feel better but am sorry about the new pains.

I would think that the symptoms will clear up eventually. I think it takes a while. I'm glad that you feel better. :D

could you have fibromyglia too???? Sensitive to touch is a signal for that....

hope you feel better soon , it sounds like you are heading that way.

good luck

It does take a while. Gluten has been doing a number on your system for some time and it takes a while for your intestines to heal. I felt a lot better when I went gluten-free and then I started worrying everytime I felt one of the symptoms coming back. Give it a little time and see if it gets better or worse.

I figured it was a matter of time to heal the damage done, but as with everyone else I'm sure, I want to feel "normal" yesterday. :lol:

Thanks for all the support!

Trust me, I know exactly how you feel! When I started feeling poorly again I was very distraught! I was worried that the initial feeling of wellness was just a fluke! But the flare-ups pass pretty quickly, that's how you know it's not the real thing. Don't forget that while you're avoiding some foods you're still getting the nutrients that your body needs. I seem to be hungry all the time, especially if I'm not eating the right foods.

About the time I was diagnosed with gluten-free I was feeling intense pain in my side, lower back and abdomen. It kept me up all night and I thought I was passing a kidney stone. The pains come and go every few days but they seem to be getting less severe. If they started getting worse, or became unbearable, I'd go see a doctor. Otherwise, I just wait for them to pass and hope they continue to subside. After a year of missed diagnoses on this, I really don't think a doctor would be able to do anything about it anyway!

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
