I Have The Gene For Celiac!

Hi guys!

Well I'm so excited (should I be?) because I just got off the phone with Dr. Green and I have the Celiac gene HLA DQ8.

With being on and off and on and off gluten while testing for Celiac, the doctors gave me no answers! So, I went to enterolab and tested positive for sensitivity.......and it got bad again so I went to Dr. Green and now I know for sure for sure!

Haha, it still doesn't make a difference because I would be off gluten for life anyway, but it's just good to hear, from the famous Dr. Green himself, that I WAS NEVER EVER CRAZY!

It always sounds a little odd to say congratulations in these kinds of things, but I'm so glad that you finally know for sure. And, you know, we never thought you were crazy! :D

aww, thanks Patti...haha, I know you guys were always on my side, even more than a lot of family! But thanks. It really is good to know for sure, especially from the doctor who is supposed to know "everything there is to know" (so far) about Celiac Disease.

YAY! I'm glad you've got an answer. It's a relief to know that you've been barking up the right tree, huh?

:D

Yeah, thanks Nancy! Even though I have known for a while how I feel off the gluten and on the gluten, and the ENORMOUS difference between each, I'm glad I got all of the tests done to know exactly where I stand. But like I said, even if I didn't get a clear diagnosis, I would have stayed away from that junk forever anyway. I've been waiting about 7 years for this answer and it feels SO GOOD! I can't imagine how the people waiting for 20 something years, etc. must feel when they get their answer.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
