Hi,

I'm brand new today, both with trying to talk on a forum and being diagnosed with celiac. I don't have a clue how to do this. I'm not even sure if this will post. I tried to send one before and it didn't work. Can anyone walk me through this? I'd sure appreciate it.

Hi there and welcome! Well, congrats, your post posted just fine! B) There is a lot of wonderful info. to be found on this site and great emotional and informative support here on the forums. :)

It will take a while to learn the "rules" you must follow with this diagnosis, but once you get the hang of it, it will seem natural to buy and eat gluten free foods.

Again, Welcome to the site! :) -Julie

Hope this makes sense. Anymore questions? Ask away.

Oh...when you post a new topic choose the forum that the topic is best suited for. I just moved your other topic question to "post diagnosis and recovery"....in case you are wondering what happened. :)

Rachel: Thanks! Your answer to Blanchemae also solved the problem for me. Now I know how to quote! YEA!!! :D:D:D

Now, suppose I wanted to quote and answer just one paragraph in a long post. How do I do that? And how would I quote and answer paragraph 1, then skip down and quote and answer paragraph 5?

Am I making sense? :huh:

It really is simple--once you've been on here a little while it will become second nature :D

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
