<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I was diagnosed with celiac disease two days ago. I've had chronic health problems now for over three years and have been to all sorts of practitioners. Finally, I was put on a no-grain diet by a nutritionist to help me resolve a case of intestinal yeast -- not because he suspected celiac disease. After about 6 months I was doing a great deal better, and he determined that I could move on to my next phase of treatment. He prescribed mineral supplementation and recommended a diet of 50% protein, 40% carbs, and 10% fat. As far as he was concerned, any grain was fine, but I was to stick to the proportions listed. Long story short, I ate wheat products. A couple weeks later I was experiencing burning and tingling sensations in my feet/legs, as well as muscle twitching. I never suspected my diet, because I was told by the nutritionist that these odd symptoms were probably due to an adverse reaction to mineral supplementation, or even possibly an elevated thyroid T3 level. So I just kept following a diet that included wheat. By the time I went to a doctor a couple weeks later, the symptoms were pretty bad. I was diagnosed with celiac disease. That was two days ago. Although the symptoms seem a little relieved since I learned what the problem was and abruptly stopped all grain, it seems that for the past several meals, even if I'm being excruciatingly careful, my symptoms are exacerbated about 1/2 hour after eating. Has anyone experienced this? Frankly, things look pretty bleak at the moment. I could use a few encouraging words. --- Latimer Kells --- [log in to unmask] --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.
