I Dont Really Follow The Diet Im Suposed To

I just wanted to chime in with this.  Her parents, may in fact, being doing all they can to help her.  She is old enough to go out in the world and stop at Subway of the Cookie Corner. It is a transitioning time and it won't matter if your parents are doing all they can for you at home. You have to do for you too. My 17 year old doesnt have a Diagnoses yet, but I am almost certain she has it too. She is in a position where food is safe at home because mom has it and cooks for everyone. We have tried a few times to get her to TRY  gluten-free, but she admits to going out to the above mentioned places. She is 17, she finished high school  last year and is in college, she works almost full time.  I cannot control her entire life.  She has appointments with doctors so that THEY can help to explain how horrible and deadly it can all be. I say this because they might be doing all they can for you, but you have to do it too. 

 

Because your parents do not have it (or they are not showing symptoms but could, indeed have it..as well as your sibs) perhaps you should direct your mom to this site. Maybe she does need an eye opener to the severity of it, maybe not. She may find extra ways in which she and your family can help you here too. If your doctor has not been very thorough with the education of YOU about it all, perhaps it is time to call him/her and make an appointment to talk about it with you. Educate! Educate you, your parents, even your siblings. Educate your friends! You CAN do this. It does not HAVE to be horrible.  It sounds like you are having a hard time with a sugar/carb addiction and the first things you find to break it are things with gluten.  There are probably hundreds of posts on this site about how to help with that. If you want a good and happy and healthy life, you will sit yourself down and take the time to go through them. <3

      EGD with flatten mucosa

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      By DanteZaffar · Posted

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to  avoid possible sites of cross continuation. Recently my gi symptoms seemed to have gotten better but now I’m having a tension headache and some bouts of anxiety which were characteristic of my state when I first started out in the gluten free diet. Am I doing something wrong for these symptoms to come and go randomly??? Or is this normal for the healing process...

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      Does this require proof of having refractory celiac? I’ve been gluten free for a couple months but still feel miserable but I’m not sure if its refractory celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @HeloIP! There are some other diseases, some medications (NSAIDs, olmesartan) and even some other food protein intolerances (the dairy protein casein) that can cause flattened villi in the duodenum but the most likely cause is celiac disease. Your GI doc may want to run some blood work to check for antibodies that are specific to celiac disease as a follow-up so, in case he/she does, don't start a gluten-free diet until that blood draw is done.
