I have now been Gluten Free for one year, officially. It feels like forever and a day. It's gotten a lot more natural but it is still odd to consider that this is a life long committment. This is my post of success, I survived!

Yes, congrats! I'm exactly one month away from my 1 year anniversary--not feeling great in terms of health, but I feel like an expert on the diet, etc. :D

Congratulations!

It does feel like a lot longer when 1 year comes around. You've done it this long and now you know you'll make it the rest of your life!

celiac3270,

I'm sorry to see that you aren't feeling well yet. I met a man

through a family friend who said that it took him 3years

to heal, he is a lot older than you. Just a thought, have you

given up dairy? Thats what I had to do and I know others

have.

Thanks--no, haven't tried that because the tests said that I didn't have any intolerances/allergies with milk products/dairy/casein/lactose, etc.

Yes--the first year does seem to take forever. It's hard to believe that only a year ago I was eating wheat-filled bagels every morning, pizzas, pastas, etc.

Congrats again, Stargirl :D

Congrats, it should get a lot easier to be able to resist a lot of things now that you are on your first year but things are still hard to resist. I had a doughnut just yesterday :( and I have been on this diet for 4 years. But it does get a lot easier.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Coping with celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
