I am diagnosed (biopsy) 2 years ago. I am 41 years old.

I have been sick since giving birth in 1983....I am so grateful to

find this forum. I still don't know what I can and can't do!

But for what I see so far, looks like I'm in the right place!

Welcome! As a member just since December, let me say, you're in the right place. I've never found an online forum that was so helpful and worth my time. Ask whatever questions you have. This is a "there are no dumb questions" environment.

Welcome to the forum. I only joined summer of 2005 and had been gluten-free for over a year. But, I learned more here then I did with my over 300 hours of on line research. This is a great place to get answers. And as everyone said "there are no dumb questions".

Hi! Welcome to the board!

You have found a place that has a great bunch of people who are supportive, helpful, knowledgeable and great listeners when you need to vent!

As the others have said, our motto is "The only stupid question is the one not asked". Also, don't be shy - we've had pretty candid discussions about every kind of poop out there! We're definitely not queezy here! We also enjoy celebrating when someone has a nice, normal "O'Henry"! :lol:

Thanks everyone for your welcome. I was diagnosed in Dec 2003.

At that time, like the other member stated, over 300 hours of online stuff.

There is lots of information now, but as you all well know, it's hard

to get the right information. I struggled for the first while.

But - I still don't know how to cook fancy stuff. So, quick fixes for me...:)

I am looking forward to learning more, but still keeping my site

simple for the newbies. I needed a quick fix on an extremely tight budget, that of course

changed because of this. 3 family members and they hate my food...lol so lots of meal preping.

lots more information now though. thanks again :)

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      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.

      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...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      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.
