Hello, I have been gluten-free for 12 years now and I feel great when I’m on the diet but when I accidentally get glutened I definitely feel it with symptoms starting with anxiety, brain fog, fatigue then it moves on to diarrhea, headaches and nausea for days. Now it seems when I get a common cold or a the flu, diarrhea is a symptom!?! I don’t fee...

Sergio, I was the same way when I first started the gluten free diet. First make sure your are completely gluten free and keep a food journal and symptoms to rule out a reaction to other foods. It is scary at first but don’t pay attention to the scale. Use some of the suggestions I wrote about above and start a gaining weight diet. It will t...

Hello I hope you get the answers you need from the doctors. As for myself I have a hard time gaining weight after a bad glutening sometimes I lose 8 lbs in 2 weeks and I am skinny to start with. I have found a Tablespoon or two of Orgainc Coconut oil helps. I put it in my coffee but I know people who eat it plain or add it to smoothies. Also but...

Hello, I have been gluten free for ten years and when I get glutened my symptoms are nausea, headaches, diarrhea, fatigue, and headaches. So yesterday I had bad cramps like menstrual camps but worse. Today they didn’t go away so I went to the dr thinking I might have an overian cyst but they didn’t find anything. So I still have cramps and I have dia...

I got glutened a little over a week ago. It took me a couple days to feel the effects but they came in the form or diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, and anxiety. During this time I also developed a sinus infection. It took a few days then I started feeling better. Now a little over a week after I got glutened I'm having another set of diarrhea, nausea and...

Since I have celiacs I had my son tested for the he genetic markers and his results came back that he had none of the genetic markers for celiacs. I kept him gluten free for about a year and a half. After the tests I introduced gluten and monitered his behavior, bowel movements and any sign of pain. I never saw anything different. The thing that makes...

I take 15000 IU of D3 Chlorophyll complex Vitamin C My wellness dr put me on all these and they help a lot. My vitamin D is back in range, the chlorophyll complex coats my intestine, reduces inflammation and reduces my nausea.

I am taking sertraline the generic of Zoloft and I called greenstone/Pfizer to ask if they are gluten free and soy free and they said the medications might contain both gluten and soy! One of the ingredients could be made with wheat and they don't know what the manufacturer uses. The same for soy. I have bad anxiety when I get glutened and I recently have...

ARCHIVED I Keep Getting Sick And Don't Know Why!
mareahf replied to mareahf's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you your suggestions. I called the manufacturer for my medicine (sertraline by greenstone) and they said they could NOT verify that it is gluten free or soy free because they use some products that could be made from wheat or soy. So now I'll look for an alternative. In the past I found out I have polyps in my gallbladder so I will get that checked... -
ARCHIVED I Keep Getting Sick And Don't Know Why!
mareahf posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been gluten free for 6 years now and was doing really well until I got a bad glutening about 6 months ago. Since then I have gotten better only to get sick over and over again. I would get sick for about a week then feel better for about a week and get sick again! This has been happening for months now. I went to my wellness dr and he suspected... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Vs Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms
mareahf posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been gluten free for six years now after being very ill for about a year and tried a gluten free diet. I got better and never looked back. I went to see a GI doctor and he didn't run any tests since I was already on the diet. Six years later I got the wrong bun at a restaurant and got very ill. As bad as I was before finding out I can't eat... -
ARCHIVED Recovering From A Severe Glutening...need Advice!
mareahf replied to erikalikescows's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm sorry to hear of your recent gluten incident. I recently got a bad gluten attack when the "gluten free friendly" restaurant gave me the wrong hamburger bun! It was the most gluten I've had since going gluten free. Unfortunately I was sick for weeks. A normal cross contamination would put me out for a few days but this one was way worse. I don't want... -
Yesterday I ate a lot of blue cheese that said gluten free. Today I have cramps and feel bloated. Normally when I get glutened I don't have cramps so I'm confused. About a month ago I was glutened pretty badly so I'm wondering maybe I might sensitive to too much dairy since I'm still healing or do you think it is gluten with a new symptom. But doesn't lactose...

I have been successfully gluten free for 6 years then I accidentally ate the wrong hamburger bun and I got very sick. Almost as sick as I was when I first discovered I have celiac disease. I lost a lot of weight and I am not big to start with. I was wondering for those people who lose weigh during a gluten attack how do you re-gain the weight? Protein...

I am 5ft 3in tall, Yeah I've had a few ultrasounds and everything looks good. My doctor hasn't mentioned anything about my weight but all the books I read say I should be at a higher weight by now. I am probably just too worried, this is my first child and I've had a miscarriage a year ago so I on edge.

I am 6 months pregnant and I have only gained 10 lbs and although I am a skinny, short person I feel like I'm not gain enough weight during my pregnancy. I have been gluten-free for 3 years. When I discovered I had celiacs I had already lost about 15 lbs due to gluten, although I feel 100% better on the gluten-free diet I never gained much weight back...

ARCHIVED Discovering New Gluten Free Foods
mareahf replied to blueshabooMoon's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Whenever a recipe calls for bread crumbs I use crushed up Rice Works Gourmet Brown Rice Crisps. I find them at CostCo they are in a blue bag. I just crush them up and use the crumbs for things like meatloaf, chicken fried steak, stuffed mushrooms, chicken parmesan, meatballs, etc. They are good alone so you don't need to add much salt, just some pepper... -
Hello everyone, I have recently discovered a website and book that has help me tremendously with my anxiety. I have suffered with anxiety for about 10 years with panic attacks off and on. I have been stable when taking Zoloft but when I would try to reduce my dosage my anxiety would come back. Since I have been gluten-free my anxiety symptoms have reduced...

I recently came back from a wonderful trip to Belize. I was there for 9 days and I am a sensitive celiac and I did very well. First I stayed in Placencia at the Laru Beya. The restaurant there was good and had a nice selection. I ate the ceviche but I used my own crackers, (it comes with corn chips but I wasn't sure it was 100% corn or fried in tainted...

Oh yes, I have all sorts of shapes and sizes. But you can defiantly tell if it is healthy poo or not. Give the gluten-free diet about a month to fully work. When I started the diet kept a journal of everything I ate (with brand names too) and included a poo report with descriptions. This gives you a better understanding of how your body reacts. If you...

I too have very debilitating nausea when I get glutened. It is the main symptom that holds me down. At time I even throw-up. I also get more nauseous after I eat, I think it has to do with the inflammation and/or destruction of the tissue in the duodenum. The duodenum the start of the small intestine just below the stomach. So when you eat even though...

ARCHIVED What Are Your Symptoms When Glutened?
mareahf replied to catarific's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
First I get gassy, then the next day I feel tired all day and I have no appetite, the next day comes nausea, diarrhea and headaches. Depending on how bad I got glutened depends how long it lasts 2-7 days. It just happened to me this week. I got CC from a friend's BBQ. -
ARCHIVED How Many People Are Actually Self-diagnosed?
mareahf replied to no-more-muffins's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I wasn't sick for long but it happened very fast. I had bad diarrhea, losing weight, nausea, headaches, fatigue and knew something was very wrong. I went on WebMD and put in my symptoms. Celiacs disease came up and I remembered how I would crave potatoes and gag looking at bread. I decided to try a gluten-free diet and I felt better in a week! And I keep... -
ARCHIVED What Is Your Gut Trying To Tell You?
mareahf replied to Chakra2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I found out had celiacs because I listened to my body. I would crave potatoes and chicken broth when I was sick and bread made me gag. When I went online to try to find out why I was so sick I came across celiacs and it started to make sense. I try to listen to my cravings and give my body what it needs. However I do get anxiety when I get glutened and... -
I like to eat ice cream or milk shakes, one small bowl a day will help keep some weight on. (Make sure you read all ingredients and it is gluten-free ice cream!)
