Hello Everyone!

I am 42 years old and was diagnosed with celiac disease several weeks ago and have been gluten-free for 6 days now! I am starting to feel better in ways that I didn't realize. I too am going to DO THIS and make this WORK.

I'm still having a lot of issues on WHY ME and IS THIS DIAGNOSIS accurate? I have been in excellent health, and generally health-minded about my eating and nutritional supplementation habits! I did experience hypoglycemia as a teenager and into my mid-20's, and have been able to manage sugar in my diet without much problem.

My doctor wants me to go gluten-free for about 6 weeks and then do another blood test. I had an endoscopy and blood tests that confirmed I was Celiac. I have read about so many varying degrees of the disease and guess perhaps that without hardly any symptons other than bloating, gas and some discomfort from digestion of various foods that I am at the early stages of this disease.

It's like you almost have to self-diagnose your day to day agenda. I have started a journal of everything I'm eating since going gluten-free.

I am anxious to get to know many of you on this forum, and hear of your stories about your diagnosis of celiac disease.

Happy New Year! Brian

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber.

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.
