Just been diagnosed and joined. As there's no Introduction section,  thought I would do it here.

 

63, married to a woman younger than my daughter with a daughter young than my Grand Daughter. Cancer survivor and retired. 

 

Born within the sound of Bow Bells, London so a Cockney. Lived in the Czech Republic for 16 years nearly.

Welcome Paul! :)

 

Actually there is a section for people to introduce themselves, not that it matters a whole lot.  I'll put a link in for it here:

 

https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/47-celiac-meeting-room/

 

But the gab chat section is probably just as good a place for saying hello.  Maybe better.  If it's not a moderator can move the thread for ya.  Just hit the red report thread button at the bottom of the post and ask if they can move the thread.  Or leave it right here, no matter mind.

 

Nice looking puppy you got there!

 

Some starting the gluten-free diet tips for the first 6 months:

Get tested before starting the gluten-free diet.
Get your vitamin/mineral levels tested also.
Don't eat in restaurants
Eat only whole foods not processed foods.
Eat only food you cook yourself, think simple foods, not gourmet meals.
Take probiotics.
Take gluten-free vitamins.
Take digestive enzymes.
Avoid dairy.
Avoid sugars and starchy foods.
Avoid alcohol.
Watch out for cross contamination.

Sorry for missing all the replies. I have no excuse other than didn't get the emails. 

 

GFinDC thank you for the advice. I'm a cancer survivor and been getting check ups since I beat it and that was over 4 years ago. The iron and Iodine levels in my blood were always a problem. It seems now we know why. Only narrowed it down to Celiac disease in the last month. Now getting Iron infusions and seeing the Gastronomy Specialist on Thursday.   

 

It seems I wasn't a great eater of wheat based foods like breads and cakes, except for biscuits and sauces. I can't drink Alcohol due to the radiation burning out my saliva glands. I do like yoghurt and similar foods. 

 

The dogs name is Rajah, 2.5 years old and he's lovely if a bit crazy. He looks tough, in truth a very friendly dog. He will bark on command or when he wants something like attention, loves ice cream, kids who play with him or feed him. Great with very little children, just stands and lets them do anything to him.

Do you have your notifications configured to get emails of topics you are following?  I see you figured out the "following" part Go into your profile and "edit profile" - left side, top of profile.  Then you will see notification options.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
    • Scott Adams
      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.
