This forum is so wonderful. You are all so helpful - it has made my transition and healing go so smoothly. I can't imagine going through this without resources like this forum.

A million hugs to you all!

An update on my journey:

I went Gluten Free just about 2 months ago.

Made a few mistakes along the way but for the most part the changes to my body and mind have been phenomenally good! I won't bore you with the list, but if you ask I'll tell.

Just this week I discovered that whenever I have milk, I have been getting headaches and some stomach bloating and discomfort.

This is a new problem - I have never had trouble with milk in the past.

Yogurt and cheese are still OK, thank goodness!

After researching on this site I believe I need to go lactose free for awhile. I'm starting that today.

Hopefully this is just part of the healing process, but if I need to go lactose free for life I know that things will be ok, thanks to you guys :)

Anyway, I can't express how grateful I am for this forum and the people on it.

This is the first place I go when I have questions, am scared, or just needing reassurance...and I've never left empty-handed.

Peace to you all and Happy (USA) Thanksgiving!

I am glad that everything is progressing well for you.

After several months, I too had problems. I gave up dairy for a few months and after that, I had no problem.

I think that after you eliminate the gluten, smaller voices can be heard. In your case and mine, dairy.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bernade! There are a couple of possibilities here what is causing your up and down experience since being diagnosed with celiac disease and beginning the gluten free journey. One is that you are not yet consistent in avoiding gluten. It is easy to avoid major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta but to arrive at a completely gluten free state on a consistent basis is much harder and involves a real learning curve. Gluten is found in some many food products that you would never expect to find it in. Just a couple of examples: soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually). Gluten can be in medications, pills and supplements as a filler. And if you are still eating out at restaurants you are very likely getting "glutened" by cross contamination even when you have ordered foods that are naturally gluten free. Another is that you have other food intolerances in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community and the most common culprits are dairy, oats, soy, eggs and corn. Some foods have proteins that resemble gluten closely enough so as to cause a celiac reaction for some celiacs.
