Diagnosed Celiac. How To Get More Dedicated To It?

Hi there,

 

I am 21 years old and have recently been diagnosed for having Celiacs. I've been sorta dipping my feet into the gluten-free diet but being more assured now. I have to change my ways. D: So, I wouldn't mind having some help getting started. I atleast found gluten-free bread to make some turkey sandwiches and some gluten-free chips. Yet, I am still a bit shakey on my footing. As for my reactions, it varies. I took my bloodwork after getting terribly sick with pains from my stomach and even some erm... >_> Blood in stool. Either way, its hard to tell some of my symptoms when I have terrible PMDD when that comes around. Still, I noticed I am still very tired and even dizzy at some points. Overall, I am curious how to get better at this diet. Please and thank you.

Welcome! Here are some newbie tips located under the "Coping" section that have really helped our forum members (and your doctor failed to tell you....)

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/

It is hard at first. You go through a grieving process and that is normal. But, you will get better, you just have to stick to the diet (and you can!)

I learned to bake gluten free and my non-celiac daughter loves and requests my baking. The rest of my family can not tell the difference either!

Hang in there and ask lots of questions. We are here to help!

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
