Diagnosed 14 months ago Marsh 3b, scalloped duodenum, hiatus hernia.

Subsequent intolerances to MANY foods.

Severe anaemia, low vit d, major hairloss, severe adrenal fatigue, melasma, night sweats, neuropathy, depression, etc!

Repeat biopsy shows 'essentially NORMAL '

Not sure what they mean by essentially but normal sounds good to me.

I came back on to share this, for those of you out there that worry, fret, get anxious, cry, wonder when it's going to get better... It does happen. I was/am one of those that did all that worrying. I still have a way to go in regaining my former self. If indeed I ever will!! But... Healing DOES happen, it's happening for me on a diet that's severely restricted!

Keep at it! :-) x

Aw thanks guys. I'm still not where I need to be, but I just thought sometimes it's nice to hear some success. I know when I was diagnosed I looked for any possible success threads! We are all or have been looking for hope that things get better. I just wanted to share, to show that slowly but surely it can be done. It took a lot of green juices and food restrictions! I'm hoping in another year I might even grow some hair back!! Lol. That'd be nice! X

Congrats!!

 

and yes, just hang in there...I saw more results in symptom resolution (plus more hair regrowth) after 20 months.

 

Best wishes and stay the course.

That's wonderful! Great job sticking to the restricted diet, I know that it isn't easy. I'm vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and mostly sugar free.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
