I can't believe I've beenn gluten-free for 1 year!!!! The first couple months were a little tough but it quickly got easier.

Thanks to everyone here, I'm not sure what I would have done without everyone's knowledge and help.

Congratulations Jillian, I'm making you our expert on time (for today) since you're at exactly one year: Do you feel entirely better by now? If so, when did you?

I actually started to feel better right away. I was really sick by the time I was diagnosed though. I was pretty much nauseaus for about 9 years and right before I was diagnosed it was to the point that I'd be pulling over on the side of the Cross Bronx Expwy. to uncontrollably puke after eating. I had total villoscophy. The doctor said it was one of the worst cases he's seen. So that said, anything made me feel better than the way I was feeling.

But not everyone feels better immediately. In fact I think most people don't. So don't monitor your progress by others. Everyone is different. And thanks!!!

Oh and fyi... Mama's is closed for renovation. Very sad about my anniversary dinner.

Congratulations! A year doesn't always sound like a long time, but it is. It's a long road and a lot of hard work so good for you :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
