I have been diagnosed 7 weeks now (biopsy) after all of my adult life suffering with anemia. I was surprised at the diagnosis as have not had acute celiac symptoms, though now with the luxury of hindsight I can see that I have displayed most of them at different times, bloatedness of stomach, the bouts of dioreah of course the tiredness and bad wind and lackluster of skin hair etc.
I have always 'been on a diet' and struggle to maintain my ideal weigt of 140 pounds 5'6, when I was dx i was up to 154 due to lack of exercise as was to tired! I am now gluten free and am slowly beginning to feel better, more energy, and alert, wind has gone. I am eating quite healthy I'm leaving subsitute breads ckkes, biscuits etc alone as I know that they are loaded with fats and sugars, but I am gaining weight at about 1 pound a week and even though it sounds very vain considering that I'mgetting healthy but it is getting me down I have spoken to a few people with celiac and tthey say that it will right itself after a few months once the body knows that I won't be starving it anymore!
I live in the UK and the support or awareness of this illness seems way behind the USA so am very grateful for this site and information already gained from it.
