(N.B. when i was a kid i wanted drugs, now i'm 44 and want to get away from the damn things ;) knowledge is power. i found out by accident that i’m gluten intollerant. explains alot. i found out cause i was diagnosed as type2 diabetic and decided to research diet options. most doctors are 20yrs behind the times and recommend 80% carbs. i refuse to believe that eating 80% of what causes high blood sugar is the answer, so i cut out All carbs. thats wheat, oats, rye flours. i may start eating potatoes again but thats beside the point. nothing but meat and vegitables(lower carb stuff). well if a dozen things i’d suffered from went away!! i did’nt realize a couple more till i saw this site. my digestion is fantastic, no gas no pain no grumbling, mood is better, schizo halucinations almost gone, i dont ache like an 80yr old man in the morning, sinuses totally cleared up, shooting pains in hands and feet and cramps gone, feeling more energy and less weak, and i forgot about the itching i’d get under my inner ankles that i’d rub till i tore the damn skin off and take a month to heal! type2 may save my life, and with proper diet i may end up off the drugs and live naturally.

If I have a hint of gluten I break out in rash type acne all over my face and back. My mom gave me some of Arbonne's anti aging line and it heals my face faster than anything. I used to have scars and remnants of the acne/rash for up to 2 weeks... now... it goes away in 2 days. so I love it! It's called RE9 advanced. (It's formulated gluten free... as well as most of their products! ) http://www.arbonne.com/RE9Advanced/ Also... Uno's Chicago Pizzeria has a gluten free pizza. If you get it for pick up/take out... you buy the first one for $11.99 and get the second one for $2 extra. So 2 gluten free pizzas for $13.99! Sometimes I'll eat an entire pizza!!!! Lastly... I've found that Taking fish oil pills really helps with the mental affects that gluten has on me. 2 things…

I assume we am sensitive to these foods. Take stock of the diet, you may find the culprit, good luck. Jill to Caroline:

When I was little I can remember not liking cerial, it made me feel funny. No one believed me. I do not over eat, and gain weight on diets, like weight watchers. I tried the atkins diet a couple of years ago and lost weight fast. I noticed when I started eating gluten again I started getting itchey again, I did not notice I was not itchey when on the diet. I am following a no gluten diet now. I still eat like I want but no gluten at all. I am loosing weight again about 1.5 lbs a week, and I noticed again my skin is not itchey. I am thinking I am going have to stay gluten free for the rest of my life. This is sometimes hard but to not itch is great. I had trouble with gluten, and did not know it.

Ever since I can remember, I have had weight issues and now, after having my children, even when I work out, I don't lose body fat, only inches. After 5 months of working out, 4 days a week, 2 hours each time, my body fat % is still the same. Also, I find myself, irritable, down (not depressed but down), tired, foggy brain, mild headaches all the time, I have low iron too (diagnosed by a doctor), high cholesterol, and inflammation (hands, feet are inflammed and the skin on my face isn't the best either). I don't over eat, but do have whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, cereals, etc...daily. I am wondering if anyone who has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance has these say symptoms, and would you have any recommendations. Thanks I am curious if I am intolerant to gluten.

I grew out of it as a really young child. When my little brother was born, he had the same problems but thankfully as I was the previous gineau pig, they knew what to do with him and he too grew out of it (my older brother never had intolerance of gluten issues). When my dad quit smoking at age 40, he developed all of the same symptoms as my brother and I had and was ill for many years (until he decided to take up smoking again, however he never had any previous issues with gluten intolerance until he quit smoking). I often wonder if I still have intolerance issues with gluten and wonder if anyone else out there has ever experienced anything quite similar to this.
