Before discovering this website - I, too, would have never thought myself to be "lucky" to just have Celiac. Now, however, after reading many other's stories - I am lucky to have been diagnosed so early in life. I hope to avoid so many of the other life threatening troubles that can plague our unhealthy bodies.

I think my son only had Celiac. He used have an intolerance for dairy, but that seems to have gone away now that he's been gluten-free for a while. Hopefully he won't develop any problems since we caught it.

My daughter is a whole different story. We've yet to figure out all of her problems. Hopefully her problems will improve and she won't develop any more.

I'm sooooo thankful to have found the Celiac. It's so hard to watch your kids suffer. I'm praising God for the diagnosis! :)

i only wish I have just Celiac itself!! But like a lot of us in this post said, we went too long before being diagnosed. I have over 80 different problems that I didnt have before I got celiac and went gluten-free. and the list always seems to be growing!

maybe they should just come up with a cure for everything else, so we can finally all say we have just celiac :lol:

I seem to only have Celiac... altho a year or so after diagnosis, my ANA blood level came back just high enough that my doc had me tested for Lupus. No symptoms or anything... just a tiny raised blood level that I get checked every year. Other than that... nothing but Celiac for me! (knocking on wood over here!!)

I was told I had Candidysis one year before my celiac disease test came back +. I suffer from allergies and Raynaud's as well. My iron levels came back very low a few days ago (when my celiac disease test came back +) and that is making me feel miserable. I hope I don't see anything else coming on though, I think my nerves have been affected some as well since I'm always very jumpy and stuff (very nervous about everything).

I have a question. Have some of you gotten worst after going Gluten free then? I thought the damage was reversable. Now I'm really scared. I don't want to feel even worst.

Carol :(

I was diagnosed at 21 also! I'm thankful it was at a fairly young age, and I think it was triggered only a couple of years before. At 21 I was old enough to take the diagnosis seriously, but young enough to (hopefully!) not have permanent damage.

Was Dx'd at 55 and as far as I can tell based on the positive diet results that is all I have.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
