Hello,

I am 22 and newly diagnosed with celiac d.I went into hospital two months ago due to severe vomiting and diarrhoea which they initially thought was some sort of tummy bug.It turned out to be pnemonococcal septicemia which turned into septic shock.I was in icu on a ventilator for weeks,had to be resuscitated,it was awful.Anyway I'm alive now and home!While in hospital they tested me for c.d.bloods were positive,biopsy positive also was severely anemic,hyposplenism and leaky gut.I have been on gluten free diet for a few weeks now and getting on well.I'm really hoping that the gluten-free diet will make me feel well again.I've been sick all the time for the last few years.Anyway,I'm hoping I will learn a few things from everyone here.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
