Hi Melissa,

Some of us are more sensitive than others. I, myself, have an ulcer and IBS in addition to Celiac. The people in your support group who don't have symptoms are very lucky. I can't answer your question about how long it takes before our symptoms go away because I was only diagnosed last May and have the added medical issues. I just wanted to make sure there was an answer to your post so you'd know you're not alone. I know that someone with more experience and more answers will post a response soon. Just know I'm here if you need to vent.

I am brand new to this, but I am shocked about how intense my reactions are. A few months ago I didn't feel well at all, but I was getting through my days eating gluten and not ever connecting the dots of what was making me feel so bad.

Yesterday I got glutened after being gluten free for only 4 months and my head was spinning with all the things that were happening to me just from "trace" amounts of gluten. It was overwhelming and truly scarey.

Sometimes when I read through the forums I get nervous thinking that other intolerances are sure to follow. It feels like everyone has more than just one thing they have to watch. As far as I know I only have gluten and an allergy to pineapple to beware of. I hope it stays like that forever, but I am wary that Celiac Disease is just the doorway to other things I don't want.

Sorry to be a downer, but it's my very real concern.

Back at you girlfriend. we WILL get through this together. And we're lucky enough to have a whole community to support us. BTW, I just moved from NJ. If you feel like it PM me where you live. I'll be going back to visit this summer. Perhaps we could meet. Patti (jerseyangel), that goes for you, too!

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
