Newly Diagnosed And Hoping To Learn From You All.

[kerrygirl15 3]

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.
