@knitty kitty Hey, I wanted to inform you that you turned out to be right about coconut water. I drank some on an empty stomach because I felt dehydrated and had taken a long walk to the pharmacy in the morning... and damn did I feel terrible for the next 48 hours. Oddly, even though my metabolism is too fast to uh, fast, in the strict sense......

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that man. Thanks for the advice on butter substitutes. I feel like such an idiot for not reading the label of that one. It's a brand that makes a bunch of different ones... coconut spread, avocado spread, etc... and a mostly unflavored one. I was using the unflavored one. The coconut one does not have soy apparently, and that's the...

Well guys... I've done it again... I recently mentioned that after realizing I was gluten intolerant (now upgraded to Celiac) and starting to feel better after quitting for awhile... I started to go downhill again (not just withdrawal) and related it to certain foods I was eating that did not have gluten. The culprit turned out to be soy. So I eliminated...

Hmm... for some reason dairy seems okay for me. I actually used to avoid it because of sinus issues. After my last glutening, I started just eating rice, eggs, and stirring in some bone broth. That worked for awhile but then I got too constipated, so I took a laxative and started the liquid and yogurt diet just to let things clear up. I feel worlds better...

Thank you! Indeed it does help. I read something yesterday also about carrots being a grand idea for recovery, I suppose this goes together. I get a lot of sunlight and I eat plenty of eggs, so that should be good for vitamin D until I can find a decent supplement or some of this cod liver oil. I'll up the carrot intake I suppose too. Right now though honestly...

Well first I want to say, I seriously sympathize with the OP. Dh doesn't seem to be my "symptom of choice", but in fact the farther I go in and maybe occasionally screw up after longer and longer periods of time... the worse the next reaction is or next withdrawal is. This is so bad ugh hopefully we get through it soon. Now... regarding the post...

Hey I know exactly how you feel. I recently came down with this and have had to deal with making others understand it. Also, the whole thing of foods that don't actually contain gluten causing me some kind of reaction. I think once you've loaded up on gluten in your past to the point of having a situation arise that lets you know it's time to quit... your...

Did anyone start having the celiac symptoms hit hard enough to realize what's going on after starting or stopping smoking? I was only a social smoker with gradually increasing frequency for a long while... then started buying my own packs. Never got psychologically addicted; I would smoke 3-6 of the American spirits a day unless I went to a party and...

Thanks for the info. After first realizing I was sensitive to gluten, celiac or not, I of course screwed up a few times, and some are detailed already on this site. But like I said, I felt back to what I knew as normal (which is me having eaten gluten products unwittingly until I ended up in the hospital and knew it was time to quit, and then lasting a few...

So, at this point it's decided that I have Celiac, not even just intolerance. However, that doesn't change the fact that I keep screwing up, so I'm going to post here with the rookies. My streaks of successful gluten free diet were at first 3-4 days at a time, then I went a solid 11 days without screwing up. It has been 6 days since that last gluten attack...

Oh I suppose if it wasn't already implied, I should add my own testimony on the matter... In my case, the gluten intolerance symptoms showed up months before the candida like stuff, and in slow motion. I just started like, not doing too well with bagels, getting terrible stomach aches and bloating. Then over time add on a bunch of the other typical gluten...

So... I'm not sure I have fully certified Candida, but the first few times since quitting gluten that I accidentally got glutened, I had some of the rash situation, and part of it was uh... down there. Anyway, last time it got very itchy and looked kind of sweaty, eww... and I came across the possibility that even a guy can get some yeast buildup down...

Sorry to hear you're dealing with all that... I have a similar story with some different symptoms. So many doctors either don't know much about Celiac/gluten intolerance and are trying to keep up the authoritative facade, or just have their mental database of similar lists of symptoms with different labels. Despite my obvious and quick reactions to gluten...

Oh and for the guys in here... especially maybe @Ennis_TX since we're about the same size.... What has this done to your mood and hormones? I figure those two things are related, and the former would hint at the latter since most of us don't bother getting a hormone test after every episode. Anyway I get very pronounced mood swings, and I just kinda...

Screwed myself over with some bad bad granola. Darn. But my longest successful gluten free streak, coupled with eliminating soy for three days, did show me another glimpse of the bright future. Anyway, looking into good cures for gluten induced constipation. I've never had a problem with bowel movements, they all happened quickly and easily, until this...
