I have been struggling with some health issues for a couple of years. These include anemia, joint and muscle pain, tingling hands and feet, chronic stomach problems, and low vitamin D. My hemoglobin is better since I had iv iron treatments in the spring and a hysterectomy this past summer. I am now just into the normal range with that. I have really had a time with the vitamin D. My level initially, in late 2008, was 7. I had lots of symptoms with it. I have done various things to help it, including prescription mega-doses. This summer it was up to 25. However, I just had it tested again and it is down to 9. Having the bone pain, etc., again too. I had a blood test in the spring for celiac disease that came back negative. However, given this latest drop in D, I am thinking of trying a gluten free diet to see if that will help.
Hoping to get feedback on a couple of things here:
1) Do you think this is worth a try for me?
2) Can you give me tips on where to start with gluten free? What should I buy at the store tomorrow?
Thanks for any insights.
Nausea As A Symptom?

I have dealt with nausea problems for years and years. I had an EGD last year, and the doc found chronic stomach inflammation. It really, has a negative impact on my life. I have had many other issues, including poor absorption problems. As I look into gluten as a source of my problems, I wondered if anyone here has had nausea as a symptom. It is really bad as of late. I was going to wait until after the holidays to try a gluten free diet to see if I see a difference. However, I am feeling so bad lately that I am wondering if I shouldn't try it sooner.
