Life Is Getting Better

I've had my 5th iron infusion this week (5 more to go) and my ferritin is 99 (hasn't been for years) and my hemoglobin is 135. I feel really good- here are 10 reasons why

1. I finally have the energy to chase my children around, and actually catch them

2. I can focus at work and finally catch up on the last 2 years worth of mess

3. I'm getting used to potato and corn pasta and it's not so bad

4. I can fantasize about great bread with other celiac friends, its almost as good as...

5. My weight is going up

6. My anxiety is going down

7. I'm sleeping better

8. The dry skin, eyes seems to be improving, just in time for bathing suit season

9. I have to be organized about family meals so we're not wasting $ on take-out and fatty, nasty stuff

10. I am finally in control (somewhat) of my illness, rather than it controling me.

Tune in next week when I'm having a total meltdown over the craving for a hotdog bun and cold beer!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
