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

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
