- trents replied to NCalvo822's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease2Newly Diagnosed
Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy... -

Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/ -
As of July 2025, Blistex is no longer gluten free for their five star protection lip balm The last ingredient is WHEAT! From Blistex' website, ingredient list for 5 Star Protection;: "Inactive Ingredients: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, bis-stearyl dimethicone, butyloctyl salicylate, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, calendula officinalis extract, caprylic/capric triglyceride, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil, cetyl dimethicone, citric acid, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, flavor, microcrystalline wax, myristyl myristate, octyldodecanol, oryzanol, ozokerite, panthenol, phenoxyethanol, sorbic acid, stearyl behenate, sucralose, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, tocopheryl acetate, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil"

@Ginger38, I'm with you! I could not take Metformin. I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting. Just horrible. Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption. Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency. It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi. My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism. So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour. Magical! I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac. Talk to your doctor soon!
