Great to see an article in a mainstream paper !!

I emailed Dr. Mitchell thanking him for the article and explaining that over a 3 year period I had 4 Drs. (including a GI) label my symptoms as IBS and a result of stress/depression. After being being sick of feeling sick, I did research on the web - asked my Dr. for a celiac disease panel and was confirmed a celiac disease with an endoscopy. I also mentioned that many people with celiac disease have other auto immune disorders. (I'm in the process of trying to figure out why I am still ill after 1 year of being gluten-free)...so a gluten-free diet isn't always the only answer.

I asked him to please continue to talk about celiac disease in his articles - as this is a very common disease that needs more attention and awareness.

I encourage all of you to email him - if you click on the article - there's an easy link to "contact us"..and send a note to him...

I've decided to start emailing papers, medical talk shows, news media, etc, to try to bring more awareness to this disease.

take care -

Mary

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Thanks for your input Scott, I appreciate it. Being gluten free so far has helped so I am going to stick with it and hope for continued improvement. I remember reading about "latent celiac," where only EMA is positive, in a book someone recommended here. Wondering if that and/or early celiac (like you and trents said) is the answer.

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      Can anyone recommend a gluten-free stool softener?  I’m having surgery soon and the surgeon recommended taking a stool softener with pain meds after surgery. I have had celiac for about 17 years but no need for stool softener until now and when looking for one am getting mixed results as to what is gluten free. From what I’ve found, it looks like Colace clear gel may be gluten-free but still unsure. I have found that MiraLAX is gluten-free but is a laxative, not a stool softener. Thanks so much!

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Grahamsnaturalworld What exactly do you include in your diet?  Do you keep a food journal to track symptoms? Have you tried an elimination diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  It's very strict, but I found it excellent for reducing inflammation, calming the immune system, and promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.   The AIP diet was developed by a doctor who is a Celiac herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, who wrote The Paleo Approach.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can manifest as gastrointestinal problems.  Which symptoms do you have currently that make you think your refractory?  How long have you been on a gluten free diet?  When were you diagnosed?

      I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.
