It can be hard for some of us to digest raw veggies at first. I found Romain lettuce harder on my system than iceberg lettuce.

It could also be the vinegar or soy oil in the dressing that's not agreeing with you?

Maybe give it a bit more time and then try it again?

Raw veggies are hard to digest, especially when you are first healing. Iceberg lettuce can be really bad & gas causing. When I first went gluten-free, I had a hard time with salads. For me, spinach was really hard. I was good with it cooked. I was just Ok with a little baby spinach like on a sandwich. I was fine with carrots, cucumbers, red peppers, etc raw by themselves. I can eat them now, so give it a few months and try again.

I was in denial that I have celiac but now I starting to think my doctor might be right. I'm going to stay about from the salad until I get a biopsy and go glutin free for six months or so....

I rather be diabetic than celiac because I think this is going to be so hard.....I don't know how I'm going to travel...ahhhhhh.

For the time being why not try roasting vegetables? They are awesome. And you can make wonderful kale chips in the oven.

Many of us travel, even to foreign countries. Before my first trip gluten free I was nervous but it turned out I worried for nothing. I just took along a lot of snacks to keep me satisfied, especially at airports and on flights because sometimes gluten-free meals can frankly be gross. Research the country or area before you go. If you go to a country where the primary language is not English take along restaurant cards for eating out. I have used them many times with great success. Hang out at the fresh markets and grocery stores. It can be done - honest! Don't worry. :)

If you want more travel tips just read the many threads on this site.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      Untreated celiac disease is associated with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases which can cause such pain.

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed? Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms....

      Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Paula Andrews · Posted

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed?  Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms.    In the following months I started experiencing diarrhea, to the point where it was constant. In January I was diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis after having an endoscopy/colonoscopy. I've been gluten-free since that day and recently my pain level has dropped to ZERO.  I'm starting to wonder if I even have fibromyalgia, or if all of my symptoms were celiac and colitis.  I've seen several doctors and no one suggested this, but from what I'm reading it sounds possible.  The fact that I was diagnosed with two different diseases within a few months also seems odd. Has anyone else experienced all-over body aches with celiac?  And if so did the pain end after eliminating gluten?  Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has either celiac or fibromyalgia to talk to.
