Celiac Disease, Mental Health, Quality Of Life And Physical Activity Research Study

Hello all,

I am writing to introduce myself. I am currently a doctoral student at UNCG in the Exercise and Sport Psychology program and I am researching the impact of exercise on mental health and quality of life in people with Celiac Disease. My other interests include sports nutrition and nutrition for people with allergies, autoimmune diseases, and other chronic diseases. I have Celiac Disease and was diagnosed in July 2003. Three of my family members also have the disease. I am an active exerciser and I enjoy swimming and ultra running. In addition to my teaching and research commitments at UNCG, I also tutor elementary school math and work part-time at the YMCA teaching cycling and weight lifting classes.

In April, I submitted an application to UNCG to complete a Pilot Study on Celiac Disease this summer to study the relationship between physical activity, aerobic fitness, depression, anxiety, and quality of life in Celiac Disease patients.

In the first phase of the study, I will be using questionnaire data to assess physical activity and the mental health variables (that I mentioned above). In the second phase of the study, I will be conducting a V02 max test to measure aerobic fitness, and also use questionnaires to assess the mental health variables. I am hoping that the results of this research study will significantly enhance the public health’s understanding of the relationship between physical activity/aerobic fitness and depression, anxiety, and quality of life in Celiac Disease patients.

If anyone is interested in participating in the research study and completing the survey, please contact me. I can US mail you a survey packet with a postage paid envelope for easy return. If you live near Greensboro, NC and are interested in participating in the fitness testing, let me know also. My contact information is below.

Thank you very much, Lisa

This sounds like an interesting study. Are you looking at both dietary compliant and non-compliant? Just curious. Wish I lived closer but don't think you want to fly me across the country :D

Sounds interesting. My wife is an exercise physiologist/personal trainer, so I'm curious would this VO2 max test be the "pedal and p :wacko: ke" test? (she so enjoyed during her studies) Quite a lab from what I hear!

Anyway I'd be happy to participate in the survey I'll email you my info.

The Vo2 max test is on the treadmill. Yes, please send me your US mail address, so I can get a survey to you! Thanks, Lisa

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.
