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

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      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...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
