Sorry for the duel post- but this is my first day on the site & I am not sure which category to post, so here goes again:
- Hello everyone, I'm brand new to the site & also newly diagnosed with Celiac disease. Going 100% gluten free for 2015 & just wondering if anyone here has noticed a significant reduction in bloat after going gluten free. And if so, how long before you noticed a significant difference in your physical and emotional wellbeing?

Thanks guys

    Hello there! Going gluten free and being very strict about it is the best thing you can do if you have recently been diagnosed with celiac. I was diagnosed in june and never really have a problem with bloating now. Also many other issues like headaches and extreme fatigue have subsided. I also had MAJOR anxiety previously, which seemed to disappear after about 2 weeks gluten free, my aches and pains are still bad, but i am still in recovery and trying to get my antibody levels down to 'normal' range. Like i said, the best thing you can do is adhere to your gluten free diet and be very strict!

    I was diagnosed 8 months ago and have been gluten free ever since. My severe acid reflux has disappeared but not the head fog, aches, chronic soft tissue injuries...etc. I only developed bloating since going gluten free. Watch for "hidden" gluten it's gotten to me a couple times... ;)

    good luck and feel better soon
