Welcome! I just found this place when I was diagnosed in December. You'll find it's a warm group of people. As Nini said, ask anything. This board relieved the "overwhelmed" feeling I had at diagnosis.

Congrats on getting a diagnosis! Maybe that sounds odd, but by the time most of us found out what was wrong with us we were pretty sick! Now there's a chance you'll start to get better. It takes a bit to get used to the diet, but after a while you get the hang of it, and get in the swing of it, and it's not so overwhelming.

Welcome! One of the hardest things about starting the gluten-free diet is figuring out what you can eat. I started a thread on recipes with safe name brands to buy for the recipes, here is the link.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
