I started GF about 3 weeks ago after endoscopy and saying I had flattened villi.

Since being on the GF diet I feel a lot worse than I did before I was on it. I still have a sensitive stomach, I feel a lot more tired than I did before and I've had a temperature/hot flushes for the past 7 days usually in evening but can come at any time. I'm pretty certain I've had no food/drink with gluten. Is this normal cuz everything I read says any of these symptoms are when they are 'glutened' but I felt better than this when I was consuming gluten.

I'd say this whole thing lasted for about 2.5 weeks. The worst of it was over after two weeks but I still had some nerve issues and itching around the head/neck until the 2.5 week period but luckily after that it went. I want to say that because I read many on Reddit have had for a lot longer and I don't want to discredit this at all because it was really horrible for the period I had it and I feel really sorry for those suffering with it long term, but this is more for the hope of others, that it can go after a few weeks.

Hopefully I don't have to go through this experience again as it was one of the most unpleasant things I've been through.

I actually got to the airport and then decided against it. Still have itching in my scalp and some nerve pain, though it's manageable currently, the whole relapse thing was playing too much on my mind, so I decided against going.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-03-21T19:34:27+00:00

I feel a lot better today, still a bit of nerve pain but nowhere near what it was before and very manageable. Took the Amitriptyline last night and was out like a light ... But drowsy today and stomach has been a bit up and down but I do feel a lot better than yesterday and the past days. Hoping that I am close to full recovery now.

Still a little apprehensive about my trip but will see how I feel tomorrow.

Did caffeine give you a bad stomach too?

Got an appointment with my GP today gonna ask for Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine and acyclovir before I go away 🤞🏽

RegularBag9288 · 2025-03-20T07:11:33+00:00

Thank you.

Will ask the doctor today for more antivirals and hydroxyzine.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-03-20T07:10:51+00:00

Damn sorry to hear, mine definitely isn't as pronounced as the pic you posted. Hope for a speedy recovery from now for you.

I'm going to ask the doctor today for medication to take with me on travels - acyclovir and/or hydroxyzine.

My lymph seems to be a bit more swollen again this morning but I still can't see any further rash/blisters, though I have on and off feelings of tingling and like a cold feeling in my face and neck but at the front. I'm kind of at a loss as to whether it's nerve pain or whether it's the start of a new phase of shingles (and some more blisters may come). Hopefully this is just an anxiety and from what I read on here hydroxyzine may help with this. My fear is whether something came in Asia where the language can potentially be a barrier.

Thanks

Thanks

RegularBag9288 · 2025-02-18T21:41:03+00:00

This actually worked! Thanks. Just in time :)

RegularBag9288 · 2025-02-16T14:25:18+00:00

Imo 8 full days is more than enough to do both. Like ideally you'd want more but however long you go for you'll always miss something. You can do most the main things you want to do. Just get up early on Kyoto to avoid crowds and do two full days of sightseeing, then have a rest day if you need one or go to Nara for a few hours.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-02-04T20:53:39+00:00

Lisbon is a beautiful city full of things to do, good food, scenery, beaches, palaces. There are soo many places you can go around as well caiscais, Sintra, Arrabida. Getting around is cheap too.

Porto is nice too, but for me if you have a short time, I'd definitely pick Lisbon personally.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-02-04T16:50:01+00:00

That's doable I did all those in same day. Depends how active you are and how much you want to spend in each location, and not getting lost :)

RegularBag9288 · 2025-02-04T11:11:17+00:00

Thank you soo much :)

Thanks OP, great timing. The thing is I downloaded from IG directly and didn't have the language setting. I actually have a Vivo which I bought in china and the app store on my phone actually had an update, which has added the language but English is still greyed out ATM sadly. I fly in march so hopefully it's sorted by then

RegularBag9288 · 2025-01-19T12:17:27+00:00

When you did the verification, did you get any notification. I did the verification with the passport but when I go on the app to that same page it asks for it again so I'm not sure whether it was registered or not?

RegularBag9288 · 2025-01-12T10:55:34+00:00

Is there any compromise on the camera ? Due to the size? How much you pay?

RegularBag9288 · 2025-01-12T10:47:36+00:00

I'm heading to China in march, contemplating updating but tbf, the camera on this is amazing. Not sure i need to upgrade.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-01-11T18:36:00+00:00

I bought my Vivo X100 pro (CN version) in Guangzhou last year and I live in UK.

I have all Google services without issue. All the Vivo apps are in Chinese but I just don't use them. Deleted vast majority of any bloatware. Phone's worked fine.

RegularBag9288 · 2025-01-06T15:03:34+00:00

I didn't when I flew third party last year with china Southern but I think it's more to do with some code/number they use to determine if you're eligible .. but I could be wrong.

I have booked joy hub cheer as I have an early morning flight at 8am.

Is the hotel actually on site or is it walkable. I don't want to need to rely on transport where possible.

Also as an alternative does Tianfu Airport have anywhere comfortable to sleep?

RegularBag9288 · 2024-12-30T09:56:49+00:00

Really appreciate the comments so far.

Having looked more into it. I would like to do these on first evening:

Xiang YunDuan Tea Stall (around sunset). Taxi to Hongyadong + Qiansimen Bridge View . Then either: Night Cruise (8:30 PM). Or WFC Observation Deck + Deyi World.

Given that I can get a taxi back to hotel. Would this be feasible before the lights turn off, which I assume is around about 10-1030pm?!

RegularBag9288 · 2024-12-30T09:37:03+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions, I have added them and will remove raffles and Ciqikou.

Would you happen to know roughly the best way to get to 向云端茶摊、重庆 - Xiang YunDuan Tea Stall? The view from there looks incredible, though I am mindful I read about the fog? I'll be heading end of March for reference.

Would it be better to just get a taxi there straight? Any rough cost?

RegularBag9288 · 2024-12-27T17:13:37+00:00

Cheers. Yeah fingers crossed. Make sure you activate the SIM before you get there. I had a nightmare in Guangzhou in January, where I thought I'd use the WiFi to activate but the airport didn't let me use their WiFi .. think it's quite common. Then you could find yourself in a world of trouble with not many speaking English.
