WOW. That inital post, and many after could have been written by me. i love the title Post-Wheat-Syndrome! just last night at a dinner we (hubby) and i were describing my experience with gluten as similar to PMS form hell that lasts for days, even a couple weeks at a time, before improving. Funny thing... same thing happens to him when he eats...

I am sure this is what is happening. I (briefly) dated a guy in high school who had an anaphalactic allergy to dairy. Literally, if we kissed soon after I ate dairy he was in BIG trouble. It sounds to me like you are very careful on your own, but if you are THAT sensitive you must be coming in contact with it somewhere. Anything put on our skin...

I am sorry Ì don`t have much to offer, as I am so new to this ... but May I suggest that along with the great advice i have read, you may be stressing? From what I read, you may be (only speculating here) working yourself up a bit over the possibilities of problems, nervousness about starting college (and all that goes with it), fear of being sick again,...

I am writing from Canada, so can`t help on Specifics like testing in your country...but I have a suggestion. Have you looked into or considered other causes for your trouble? My husband was fine one day, down 30 lbs and weak and had diarrhea the next.. then fine again for a while and ... repeat. Everything he ate or didn`t eat seemed to give him trouble...

Actually, thes past couple weeks that has crossed my mind. I realy would like to get to a point of a wheat freeégluten free home... I think that could very well be part of the problem. I have my own butter dish (well, my daughter and i share but she`s gluten free now too) I don`t use a lot of those things anymore anyway,but I was thinking that when i ...

I sort of did that... not a FULL elimination, but quite restricted but i suspect not long enough. i was keeping a good food journal for the first few months,but again.. holidays right... life is pretty busy with four kids! I am just about frustrated enough to start over. The fact that I have been awake since 2 30 am is reason enough. I have read so many...

hi Celiac mindwrap, i just want to say, though i am so new at this gluten-free diet and all the fun () that goes with it, i feel your pain. i strongly suspect , though i am only gluten intolerant, that i have been `glutened`many times preparing meals for my hubby and 4 kids (well, three now that i have one dear daugher on a gluten-free diet as well). ...

Hi! I am new to this forum. I am looking for advice. My dr completed a Celiac panel (bloodwork)on me back in June. the only test that came back positive (elevated) was my IGg was 13.5. I went gluten free by Sept. 01 of 2012. for the first four weeks, I also went dairy free; at the time, dairy did not appear to be an issue so I have been back on regular...
