I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is...

I did an experiment this week, after my acupunctureist told me to try it. I cut all grains out of my diet this entire week (I also do not eat corn, wheat, dairy, and soy due to allergies and intolerances.) I've been going through Cymbalta withdrawal this week too (been struggling with nasty...
Hi everyone. New to the group. Hoping to learn from the more experienced. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last May after about 8 years of symptoms. After going gluten free, many side effects subsided, but many did not or only improved, but did not get completely better.

This has been suggested a few times on this forum, and I've heard it from outside sources as well. I would really like some information on being gluten free.
First, how hard is it to go gluten free? Did it take a lot of effort? Is it a complete lifestyle change? How hard is it to be gluten...

Vitiligo, age 14
Uterine fibroids, age 39
GERD, age 38
I also suspect early celiac or gluten sensitivity since...
