I was diagnosed with Celiac only two weeks ago and have been Gluten Free since. It's limiting and I'm finding the "forever" part of Gluten Free rather daunting. I was just curious if there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon like getting to eat a fresh apple for the first time in 10 years. My Oral Allergy is limited to my lip, palette, tongue and upper throat which I believe is typical. I'm only (severely) allergic to the tree pollen but all nuts, fresh fruit, and most fresh veggies (except leafs like lettuce and endive) have been out for me for a decade. I'm 23 and forever seems a really long time. Anyone have or have heard of OAS being influence by gluten-free? My thought to it is that your immune system will calm down on gluten-free and perhaps react less. I'm not a science-y person but it was just a (hopeful) thought.

I feel fabulous until I drink milk. Of course, with some research, I have found that I need to stop drinking milk due to the casein until my intestines heal. How long can I expect that to be? A few months, a year? Thanks!

My endoscopy results were fuzzy, with an unusual concentration of lymphocytes but barely any blunting of the villi.
My tTG antibody test was a 10, whereas the cutoff is 8. (In other words, it's barely positive)
The DNA Test came back heterozygous for DQ2 (if I remember correctly... I don't have the sheet in front of me, but the doctor said it have me a moderate risk of Celiac (1:35))

With all 3 of those tests coming back "borderline" positive, he went ahead and told me I was most likely positive for Celiac.

What do you guys think of the results? Is the doctor right? I personally believe he is right, but the tests are so... fuzzy. I've been on the gluten-free diet only since Monday now, so I can't tell a difference yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks or months I'll know for sure if gluten was the culprit behind my annoying neurological symptoms.]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:08:58 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89793-borderline-celiac/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89777-celiac-vs-intolerance-g6pd/
I've been trying to read more about Gluten Intolerance, and whether there's a difference between it and Celiac but couldn't find a good answer. Anyone know of a good web site explaining that or could try explaining here?

I also just found out I have G6PD, but not sure how much it's effecting me yet (might just be a carrier). Anyone else here who has G6PD symptoms and celiac? How do you cope without beans and soya?]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:52:54 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89777-celiac-vs-intolerance-g6pd/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89773-diarrhea-pain-nausea-glutened/
Gave my 12 year old daughter ceviche yesterday. She has been 100% gluten-free since intestinal surgery on 1/1/12. Last night pain started in her belly, then nausea, then diarrhea from 3:00 on to 10:00 this morning. She is home from school "sick" again.

I know there is a lot on this forum about being "glutened" - so I called the restaurant and asked. (never thought ceviche would have gluten!) - anyway, they said there is gluten in the seasoning they used.

My question is could that small amount of gluten give her all these symptoms? I'm still trying to learn what works best for her, poor thing. She said "mom, all I want is to feel well".

Also she was in school all day yesterday with gas pains (before eating the ceviche). This was due I believe to eating Baby Bell cheese.

Thanks for any input.

Being gluten free is a new journey for me. Took me a while to figure it out as I had no belly symptoms at all. I was wondering if anyone else has had mood symptoms - such as aniexty or depression - from gluten? And if they got much better after going gluten free?

Thanks!

I call her NCGI because after we took her off gluten she has changed so much for the better. She was also diagnosed with a ton of other food allergies. Is it possiable that she reacted so strongly to all the other foods because of her gluten intolerance?

The bloating, gas, and massive appetite had vanished once I went gluten free about a year ago. I think I had forgotten how miserable I felt back then!]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:18:55 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89730-bloooooooated/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89718-dairy-products-on-a-gluten-free-diet/
I have been gluten free now for a month...feel a lot better, but there are still a few lingering symptoms.

Right now, the only dairy product I consume is Organic milk...just a little with my gluten free cereal in the morning.

Do you think this is bad or is it okay to just have a little dairy? Could this small amount be affecting me still? I really need cereal and like to have atleast a little milk with cereal. Does anyone drink organic milk on a gluten free diet..or know if that really makes a difference? Or should I just eliminate the milk altogether?

Thanks!]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:59:14 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89718-dairy-products-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89707-im-celiacbest-way-to-test-my-children/ I am overwhelmed and not sure the best way to proceed with my 2 children: ages 13 and 10.
I was diagnosed after 6 years of Iron Deficiency Anemia: and severe bloating. I cannot grasp enough information from my kids on their GI symptoms either way... Should I start with drawing Celiac Panels on them?

I REALLY don't want to go gluten-free on them unless there is a need obviously...]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:15:17 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89707-im-celiacbest-way-to-test-my-children/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89698-endoscopy/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:05:56 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89698-endoscopy/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89697-bowel-problems-even-after-going-gluten-free/
Here's the problem: She still has sporadic bowel problems even though she is on a gluten free diet. She has bloody bowel movements, but says she doesn't feel like she has been glutened. And then the next day she will have normal bowel movements. Does anyone else have this problem? I think she should have a colonoscopy, but she is avoiding that. Her current gastrologist diagnosed her and then that was it. No follow up, no direction on how to deal with and what to expect with this disease.
any information is much appreciated!]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:50:12 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/89697-bowel-problems-even-after-going-gluten-free/
