5 Years!

Just wanted to say that it has now been 5 years since I decided to go gluten free. After months of bloating, weight loss, irritability, anxiety, feeling like crud after anything I ate, I decided that despite the negative blood tests I was sick of it! I told myself I'd try eating gluten-free for a few weeks and see what happened. By the end of week 1 I was already feeling better! I have never had an official diagnosis, but given its prevalence in my family, I have always concidered myself to have Celiac Disease.

 

Fast-foward 5 years, I'm doing 90% better. I picked up some addtional intolerances along the way, but the sacrifice is more than worth it if it keeps me healthy and happy.

 

Thank you all so much for your advice and support over the years, I don't think I'd be in nearly as good a shape without this forum. I've learned so much, and appreciate having a place to vent when things go bad. This is a lifetime commitment, and it can only get better.

 

Hugs to all

      The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?
