I gave up gluten off and on over the last year but it wasn't until I gave it up for 3 months that I slowly started feeling better. Then I went on a retreat and all they had was bread, cheese and fruit. I became so bloated and sick I believe I have my answer.
I learned I must be back on gluten at least three weeks to get an accurate test and I have one week to go. Oh! Now that I know what is making me sick it feels like eating poison.
I have read on the posts here that giving up milk can speed my recovery. Is there anything else that can?
I have tried to give up milk too in the past but am soooooo starving that I just can't do it. My stomach just burns in the morning until I get some dairy. Anyone else get that and have any recommendations?
I have suffered with severe chronic fatigue which became much worse after my first daughter was born. I believe I had adrenal fatigue on top of the celiac.
How long does it take to recover? Do I have to keep eating gluten until the biopsy or just until the blood tests?
I'm so happy to have hope again. I know I will feel better after I can quit gluten for good.
Thank you all for being here! It's like water in the desert!
