Hi. Welcome and stuff. Poke around, and get used to the lay of the land. Learn the ropes. Pull up a chair and get comfy because you'll be part of our club a while. Like... forever. Mwahahahaha! 

 

Poke your nose over here for some good beginner info. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/

 

Poke your nose over here if you ever don't know what to eat. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/75238-the-whats-for-dinner-tonight-chat/page-441#entry881706 You'll find another thread about lunch if you poke over there too, and can generally find lots of talk about food. All in all, what you'll find is proof that we want for nothing and suffer not at all in the food department. 

 

You can rant and be pissy and all that, but know that mostly what you got was hope for the future. And us.  :D

thank you all for the warm welcome. hate that I had to join but love that I found you all. I have a question. recently had the upper and lower scope and results came back for celiac. diarrhea for the last couple years, muscle fatigue ( cant stand for longer than 10 min ) BUT I only get diarrhea at night time.... honestly one once or twice during the day in the last three years ??? does this make and sense.  thanks in advance

There are about 300 different symptoms of celaic and even the same symptom can vary from person to person. What's cool is that your problem should start clearing up after a while, AND you will most likely notice other things you didn't even know were symptoms clearing up. For example, I had no idea that my insomnia was caused by celiac, but it was.

 

So welcome to the club, ask lots of questions, and as Addy said, feel free to rant or cry or kick something. Just know that it DOES get better, it DOES get easier, and you've got lots of friends here to help you along. :)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
