Gluten intolerance
🕑 Added 2017-08-20 12:07:18 +0000 UTC Just recently I discovered I am gluten intolerant, and am looking to get tested for celiacs disease. Unfortunately I do have a lot of the symptoms such as unexplained anaemia (for many years despite eating properly and even taking supplements), joint pain, fatigue, etc, so I do think there's a high chance I have it. This also was a complete game changer for dieting, since I would often be strongly discouraged after eating a gluten heavy meal and weigh up to 1kg more in a single day... despite counting my calories and exercising a lot. I now realise that was all water weight, when I cut out the most obvious sources of gluten it dropped back down after 2-3 days. Do any of you also have experience with gluten intolerance, or want to share any similar experiences in general? :)Comments
Aweh, Im lactose intolerant, hope the best for you with the new eating routine
Thank you LeRolo, you should also get your insomnia check out though! xD
Thank you for the advice!
I'm alright! And I will try to get checked as soon as possible, just so busy and I don't have a GP :( Will have to see what my options are for getting checked
oh dear :(

Damn, poor Geisha, I would die if I can't eat normal bread LoL or any other food related to gluten, I love to eat and cook and try new dishes with the bae! Watch out with these kind of stuff, we are what we eat LoL... well it's not related but I suffer insomnia, don't know why tough, I have to check with a doctor, because it's tough going to work with only one, two or no sleep hours :S
Oh, that sucks, fair warning gluten free bread is disgusting . :-(
Hi, I hope you're doing not too bad at the moment. From what you've described above, it is best for you to get tested as soon as possible. When people with celiac disease consume gluten products, their body immune system will attack their small intestines and this potentially could cause malabsorption. Small intestine is the place where all the nutrients are absorbed, including zinc and deficiency in zinc leads to anemia (which probably causes you to feel light headed, joint pain, fatigue, etc.). Stay away from gluten stuffs from now on and take care!
Bun o wo
Your gluten intolerance is unfortunate. I hope that you don't have said disease and to care for yourself and be more picky as it may help
