    Fage and Chobani are both gluten free and now make lactose free yogurts as well which are delicious

    so ive been gluten free since my diagnosis back in mid jan of this year - i stopped having dairy for several weeks although i wasn’t really getting a reaction when eating it and u would say i felt totally normal around two weeks ago it’s amazing - and i was adding dairy back in recently on and off to see if i’d feel any different and thank god no reaction - i n...

    reading on the AIP diet it seems it’s not based on gluten free foods but regular foods in general so my question is do you still avoid breads and things like nuts and rice even though as a celiac,you are eating gluten free versions of these foods? basically is there anything you did not remove that the diet recommends you do?
  4. MADMOM
    how long have you been diagnosed? And how long did your healing take in total? Did you start the AIP diet right away?

    omg! so inspiring - i am hoping to be able to say the same - your advice is so well received and appreciated and i will continue to ask questions if you don’t mind - as this journey to healing continues ❤️
  6. MADMOM
    how long did your healing process take?
  7. MADMOM

    yes i would like to ask my GI about the thiamine - My b12 levels and vitamin D levels were normal when i had blood tests done in january to get the dx - my iron was always low and i’ve been taking iron with vitamin c in it for better absorption and wondering if it’s working - my bowels are not green - usually when i take a different brand of iron alone the...

    ty so much is it ok to have lactose free milk and yogurt? i’ve been doing that for several weeks with no issues. i don’t have any gas or diarrhea or any other issues so far other than the soreness and pinchiness i felt at the beginning - some days i’m totally fine - is lactose free ok or should i just not have any dairy at all? it’s pretty hard but if ...

    what is a leaky gut exactly? i had endoscopy prior to my diagnosis so i’m still very early in recovery. i don’t expect my physical pain to go away that fast but was curious on how long it took people who are already recovered! i don’t go for bloodwork till april - 3 months into this journey / i wanted to inquire as to how many points ones levels can d...
  11. MADMOM
    sorry i’m all out of sorts / i am also curious to see how much anybody’s levels have dropped in a 3 month period? i have to go followup bloodwork beginning of April and my doc was looking for a 50 point drop! anybody have a hopeful story to tell me? also have you followed up with an endoscopy after time of healing? and how long after id appreciate any...

    So i’ve been gluten free 7 weeks - i was diagnosed via endoscopy and blood test - i’ve been reading all labels eating at home only and switching things around - trial and error with regards to lactose free as opposed to dairy free - to see what works - my GI said my villi was mildly blunted but idk! so my question to all the post recovery celiacs is the...

    omg i was diagnosed this in jan of this year and i feel that dull ache in both shoulders at different times also in my chest - breast area like twinges - i am also post menopause and still have symptoms from that as well but i can def understand what ur going through -i am actually relieved that others are experiencing it too
  14. MADMOM
    do u remember how high your levels were Scott?? i mean initially and how fast or slow they improved?
  15. MADMOM
    i agree - i’ve been gluten free 6 weeks almost and have been learning from trial and error - in my 2-3 week i had some seeded veggies - night shades that just did not agree with me / i also eat very min dairy and more lactose free yogurts and milk since i don’t really get a reaction - i also started cooking more fresh veggies and meats and so far thank god...
  16. MADMOM
    id not drink a second cup too late in the day - see how you feel 🙏🏻❤️
  17. MADMOM
    how fast did ur levels drop if i may ask? i’m only 5 weeks into this just got diagnosed and really didn’t have many of the GI symptoms at all - luckily i work for drs who sent me to their GI and i requested an endoscopy . as far as ur insomnia i wouldn’t worry - my son is 18 and has same issue - i have him on decaf coffee now since he had anxiety attacks after...

    i agree why wouldn’t we live as normal as anyone else with an issue like this or any other - we are actually getting healthier by eating properly - i don’t like when ppl ask will be live just as long! if u don’t treat any condition you have you are risking your health ! Celiac is just the same- my GI says so many go undiagnosed and are ok - glad that i kno...
  19. MADMOM
    omg that’s so great! i was gonna ask if and how long it takes for levels to drop - i’m going for bloodwork in another month just to see where my levels are at i’ve only been gluten free 5 weeks but dr wants to see how it’s going! i’m hopeful that mine will drop ❤️🙏🏻
  20. MADMOM
    don’t know if ur female but menopause comes with most of those symptoms - i just went through it and i have nights i can’t sleep days i still crave junk etc etc - i’m going through two things at once - i lost a few pounds initially but i’m roughly same weight i was when i started gluten free 5 weeks ago - i get hungrier faster
  21. MADMOM
    my gall bladder was checked via ultrasound a week before diagnosis -all looked clear including kidneys and pancreas! i think it’s just the gut healing - i’ve heard it takes a lot of time for this to go away but i appreciate the feedback
  22. MADMOM
    ty Scott i just needed to hear that from someone who has been through it- i guess every time i feel a twinge of pain or ache or punch i feel scared
  23. MADMOM
    any update on ur condition? was it more than celiac?
  24. MADMOM
    i still have it mainly on right sides but both left as well not as much - My GI says it takes awhile for your gut to heal and to stay hydrated and eat healthy - mine has been much better but i still have days with it
  25. MADMOM
    i’m with you my pain comes and goes but i’m only 5 weeks gluten free - i think some foods although gluten free might agitate the tummy naturally - i’ve been eating a great nut trail mix last few days and notice i feel the dull ache in my tummy under ribs mainly on right side but on left as well - now a bit lower near my belly button but i’m only eating gluten ...
