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!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Keith Hatfield · Posted

      Many years ago yes, after eating and going to bed, apparently my esophagus filled with food that my body rejected, the esophagus would lay against the Heart sack (pericardium?) and the heart would respond by becoming arrhythmic. That went away with the strict diet.

      It has been known for some years that celiacs suffer from migraines at a higher rate than the general populatation. It is an established symptom.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.
