    Our fellow celiacs have already given you great tips: no processed food, no dairy for a while, cut down sugar, eat whole foods. Be patient and have as much rest as you possibly can. I only really started to feel better after having iron IV, B12 shots and lots of vit D and folate supplements. So, get your levels checked! Be sure to feel ok and that you...

    Could you possibly be eating too many gluten free processed foods and grains a bit too soon in your recovery process? I only mention it because you talk about soya, xantham gum, Quorn, quinoa, gluten-free bread, gluten-free brownies... I would take a long break if I was going through so much stuff. I did it too in the beginning, I pretty much just had soups...

    I have been reading an old medical text book. From a time there were no antibody blood tests to confirm celiac disease. So doctors had to rely on physical symptoms for a diagnosis. They had to really pay attention to detail. So, according to it: "The stool in celiac disease has been vividly described many times as soft and mushy, far more voluminous...

    Probiotics - yes. Enzymes - yes. PPIs/low stomach acid - yes. Doctor needs to confirm celiac disease - yes. I agree with Ennis. To address the constipation, I would recommend some magnesium. Most of us are deficient in it anyway so, two problems solved at once. Or, if you are feeling more adventurous, do a vitamin C flush. ...

    Yes, I would double check those tests. And get a second opinion if necessary. If you do have celiac disease, it is normal to feel worse for a few weeks. You can have gluten withdrawal symptoms and/or your immune system can go on red alert. I was exhausted for about 3 weeks. The celiac disease poops can also be easy to recognize, but I am not...

    Most people are just very curious about it, because there is always someone in their lives suffering from something similar. Whenever I have to bring the subject up, I am sure to get lots of questions and hear about someone else's bowel movements.. Very often they find out when we are about to eat and, since one of the first questions is "What were...

    I also felt the disease came suddenly. I was already in my 30s. I guess you need the right constelation of factor to allign and make you vulnerable enough for it to manifest itself. This seems to match the views of Dr. Alessio Fasano, a very respected specialist in celiac disease (check out some of his interviews on youtube). In my case, I had moved...

    I only had occasional intestinal problems before my diagnosis, so I am not the best person to tell you if is normal for it to get worse. However, for the first few weeks, I did feel even more tired than usual (and I was already always tired and sleepy!). But suddenly, around the 3rd week, I could think clearly. Before, I would had to think for a while just...

    Hi everyone, Once again I am here looking for your help. I was diagnosed with Celiac less than a year ago. It took quite a while to find out because I didn't experience any particular symptoms after eating gluten. I was always tired, had memory problems and was frequently ill; sometimes I had gastrointestinal issues, but they came and went. Last...

    I just found a nicer compilation of her work, much easier to understand. She also makes the connection between Sleep apnea, vit. D and the gut. Maybe you will enjoy it too: https://www.vitamindwiki.com/Handout+on+Vitamin+D+(Hormone+D)+and+sleep+-+Gominak+2012 She mentions autoimmune diseases in general but not Celiacs. But I think it all connects...

    Sorry, I am new here.

    Good point. Because it doesn't feel like acne. It is very very similar to Keratosis. Though in a different area and it appeared in the summer. I wonder if Keratosis can also be hormone triggered?... I am treating with chemical and mild physical peeling, and tretinoin. Little improvement only. Hoping it disappears with a little patience. Thank...

    No, not really. I had done my homework, so I reduced all grains substancially to give my guts a chance to heal. I increased all vegetables substancially and am basically going high fat, low carb. That is why I had a few hicups along the way, my diet was too high in FODMAPs (nuts, fruit, avocados) but I made the necessary adjustments. I think my...

    Hi Monica I hope you are feeling better now. In any case, your post made me think of something I have been reading about lately - Dr. Satsha Gominak's work. It connects sleep disorders and body aching. She corrects it by tightly controlling the levels of vit. D and B complex. Be aware that this can be caused not only by too little panthotenic acid...

    1 year?! Did the hairloss start immediately? Because for me it only started a few months later. Did your endocrinologist recommend any steps to facilitate the process? Not patchy thank God! I'll ask my nutritionist what she thinks. She was going more towards copper deficiency, which didn't seem to fit the timing of events. I'll ask if...

    I am new to the forum and I was wondering of anyone can help me. I have been diagnosed with celiac disease 6 months ago. In the past 2 months I have been experienced many random NEW symptoms. They are mostly classic celiac disease symptoms, but it is strange that I am experiencing them for the first time after going gluten free. I have had nausea...
