How funny!! I have a 17 year old who eats like a pig also. He's currently getting his celiac workup done and says that a GF diet is "the worst thing ever" He mopes at the thought of it.

You know, the insomnia stuff, I hear it's a teenage hormone that won't let them go to sleep until 11pm.... My 14yr old (ok he'll be 15 NEXT friday-he keeps telling me) has been a nightowl for a couple of years now. I figure as long as he gets up in the morning, is coherent, and makes good grades, then I'm

happy. Benedryl helps too. <snicker> He eats like a pig too. He's the one in the family that thinks gf is the antichrist. Pretty funny when I make something he can't get enough of!! That and he's progressively eating all the gf food in the house! At least I don't have to throw it away!! Good luck with your transition! Let me know if you need ideas or help. OK I've only been doing this since 10/1, but I love to cook and am considering it a challenge!! kathiLaurie Bilyeu wrote: Oh, Kathy I have all the same symptoms and same diagnosis (doctor did diagnose CFIDS)! But my blood test was

hugely positive-enough anitgliadin antibodies for the whole town. I am 3 days gf now and I do think I felt less like a slug today. Can’t wait for tomorrow! My 13 yr old is doing gf also—he’ll do anything to avoid the blood test. I’m hoping his insomnia recedes. Laurie lbilyeu@...

What time is dinner?? I am UN officially diagnosed too! I thought I had chronic fatigue, was always tired, brutal mood swings, gained 20 pounds in a year, constipation, mouth sores, snotty nose, heel pain, always starving, migraines all the time....Three days off gluten and it was like night and day! I can actually be awake to SEE night and day!! : ) I was told "you're getting older now...you just can't eat like you used to..." Thought I

would throttle the gyn who said that. Middle age spread my a**. Ok my spread is still there, but I can run circles around with the kids now and can laugh too. AND I'm putting Excederin out of business cuz I'm not living on them anymore. So there. <raspberry> It's ALL disappeared!! My only quandry is to what extent I'm hurting myself. What I mean is.... just one little grain of gluten can cause damage, serious repricussions for a celiac. If you're Intolerant, then maybe you don't have to be so fastidius? So which am I? I just feel like an imposter. But I DON"T think, if anyone would believe me anyway, that I could go back to eating the way I

did. There is just that much difference. <sigh> Did I say that my 10 yr old is "doing" this with me?? He even says he feels better and his head doesn't hurt as much. He has had terrible constipation since he was a baby! Not since going gf! And he says his headaches are less too! And when he DOES have one they're not as bad. So in closing.....THANK you for letting me "play in your backyard!!" I have learned a wealth

of information as well as have had fun emails with some members! You all are the greatest AND the friendliest! Thanks for all. kathi in houston Donna Gillis wrote: I am officially undiagnosed as well. I had all of the symptoms except anemia (maybe because I always took a folic acid supplement?), as well as Sjogren's symptoms, but the blood tests came back negative. When I went gluten free they all went away. Now, eight

months after going completely gluten-free, it is like I was never sick.When my blood tests came back negative, my doctor said she could refer me to a specialist but it would take several months. I really wanted a diagnosis since I have three children and four siblings, but I could not face staying sick that long.Donna, with delicious pizza cooking in the ovenesther_p210 wrote:> Are "non-celiac gluten-intolerants" allowed to play in this> back yard?>
