After so many years, lots of symptoms, plenty of unrelated tests, it looks like it's finally over.

This year an MD for my new job physical suggested more follow up for some stomach issues. Food allergy screen led to a positive celiac screen to a just completed endoscopy showing "diffuse mucosal flattening."

Waiting on the results, but it seems pretty positive for celiac at this point. Very excited to get off of eating gluten again. :)

Good for you getting closure! Welcome to the club. You know what you have to do now. Be sure to read the Newbie thread in the Coping section.

As said, welcome to the club and the road to recovery - free of drugs, nor surgery.  Please, let us know how we can be helpful to you.

I agree that this forum is great. At a recent conference of celiac experts (FDA and leading celiac disease doctors discussed possible drugs to offset accidental glutening in a nut shell) the doctors stated that celiac disease can be very socially isolating. So true! I know of just two other celiacs besides my husband. It is nice to be able to discuss issues with those folks who have walked in my shoes. Things do get better. We take our foods to parties and we host many functions in order to keep us safe. But that came after I started to feel better. Who wants to cook for a crowd when you feel awful! So, celiac disease can be socially isolating! Luckily, we have friends who understand and have been interested enough in allowing us to educate them.

Here's to your improved health!

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By oyea · Posted

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.
