Hi Steph,

 

Welcome!  Would you care to share your story?  How were you diagnosed?  What are you doing for it?  Is it an easy transition?  Are you making improvements yet?  How long were you sick?

 

My story.  I had symptoms 30 years.  The worst symptoms were mind fog and extreme fatigue.  I have been gluten free 2 years.  I am making improvements having some energy.  My mind is clear and working!  I hope to hear such from you soon!

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too - about 2 weeks. Worst symptoms for me is stomach problems, and fatigue. Have you been at this long? I'm still trying to figure it all out!

Hello,

Thanks for writing! Very new to this... Yes stomach problems and fatigue!! Then oddly when I was fasting, I felt so much better... It then occurred to me as I started to eat again that it was the gluten... Sure enough within an hour of gluten, I'd feel it...

I feel happier too! Is that weird? Could it be related?

Welcome Steph!

 

If you haven't been tested for Celiac Disease, you should do so as soon as possible.  Ingesting gluten is essential to give the celiac antibody tests their best chance for accuracy....no need to overdo it -- a slice of glutenous bread per day until the testing process is complete is plenty.

 

Let us know if you have any questions :)

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
