Well, for me I never know I had Celiac till I got severely sick and was hospitalized for 4 days.

By a colonoscopy I discovered I had latent Celiac disease meaning beginning stage of it.

All my life I wondered why I had severe stomach aches after pizza or any bread but now I know.

Since that my health has been better and my stomach is better.

I hope everyone chats, discuss and vent!

Feel free!!!

take care

Mike

Welcome to the forum Mike! :)

I suggest people new to the gluten-free diet start out with meats, veggies, nuts, and eggs for the first 6 months.  This diet avoids processed foods and the risk of contamination with gluten is low.  Plus you don't have to spend lots of time reading labels in the grocery store! Bonus! :)

I can tell you after 9 years gluten-free that it does get easier with time.  What used to be a big change in diet becomes the new normal.  Do ask your doctor to test you for vitamin and mineral levels in case you have any deficiencies.

Welcome Mike!

if yr going to have celiac there's few better places than Southern California, a place dear to my heart. Look forward to feeling better than you thought possible as you progress on the diet. 

And don't forget there's still plenty that you can have, you just have to find out what brands you can trust and what restaurant s understand cross contamination. This site should help you there.

all the best from the uk

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Quick update. I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it! Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms, I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good,...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
