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 :)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
