The only good thing about celaic disease in my opinion

Hi everyone I'm new to the fourms, I've been diganosed with celaic diease last year about a year in half now. I suspected I had it since I was little just like my grandmother.

i hate this disease not being able to eat out like I use to and it comes with other problems too. Can't eat dairy or drink soda eat soy or seeds.  Been feeling sick for no good reason like today ha.

But the best thing is I lost a lot of weight cutting so much out I was 230 pounds a year in a half ago I'm down to 170 now. 

thats about the only good thing from having this diease in my opinion. It forces you to eat healthier or suffer.

Yeah the other intolerance issues that crop up can be a huge pain. LOL my issue is putting on weight, I am back to gaining weight and working out to bulk. I find it funny I can eat a 4 cups of my homemade sugar and dairy free protein icecream, a 6 egg omelette, a salad, and snack on nuts and almond butter and still gain hardly any weight. Heck breakfast is 2-4 slices of nut based toast, 12 eggs either as omelettes, waffles, or scrambled, baked goods, almonds, etc......stuff gets retarded sometimes but I cook 4-6 hours a day and get to enjoy my food lol. Made me a dang good chef cooking from scratch.

If you ever need any help finding foods, or needing supplement health I have a bunch of suggestions and have knacks for finding things.

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is not under control, however, I would take the result you posted at face value.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By StevieP. · Posted

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By Hope07 · Posted

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
