I knew it wasn't just my autism. I knew it wasn't just depression. I knew it wasn't just anxiety. I know my body. it's been just under two years of searching and waiting and testing... and finally, I have a diagnosis. After all that effort, yes, I do have celiac disease.

 

*throws confetti*

It's not all in my head!

What wonderful news!!!! This result brings hope to many of us... I for my part I am getting there... I have been diagnosed by one consultant as having celiac disease and having IBS and severe gluten intolerance by another... Maybe the next time I go and see my GI they will do the right test and hey presto!! I am still on my second year... One can never lose one's sense of humor- but well done for you!! Cheers

Great to hear!

 

Also, now that you know gluten is a problem you may actually see an improvement in your depression and anxiety as a lot of diagnosed celiacs will improve in both areas when they go gluten free. 

 

I know my anxiety has improved a ton since going gluten free.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You should be fine.  You may start feeling better within a few days.  Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours.   Did you get the NeuroMag  or another magnesium supplement?
