Diabetes And Celiac

Its been a great summer. In June I got the Type II diabetes diagnosis. This morning I got the biopsy results confirming celiac. Why did I let that doctor do a physical? :P

Obviously, new to the forum but I've been lurking for a few weeks while waiting on the testing.

No specific questions today but I'm sure I'll have them in the future so "Thank you" in advance.

Tim-

Welcome to the board! We are happy to have you here, even though it is under the circumstances of your health. I think that you'll find some of the best resources on the web are on this forum and on celiac.com. I know you don't have any specific questions today but just for future reference---there is nothing here that is strange! :blink: Its a weird disease, so weird questions are asked. I believe there are a number of other members that are Celiacs and diabetes diagnosed, so hopefully they will be able to provide support and answers for the diabetes-side of your life.

Where are you in VA? I'm in VaBeach.----edit----I just saw that you posted in another thread that you are in NoVa.

Again, welcome to the board!

Tim,

I have type I diabetes and am on an insulin pump. I know some type II are on insulin as well. The biggest problem that I have with the two diseases is carb counting. It is possible, but takes some getting used to. Maybe it was just that I counted carbs on only the diabetic diet for so long? It is also difficult to find certain specialty items, like sugar-free cookies with no gluten. There is probably some out there, maybe in VA, but certainly not in Iowa! Also, I have to make sure that I have a gluten-free sugar source on hand. Before, I could just grab a doghnut or whatever, but not now. There may even be gluten in some of the commercial glucose tabs or gels, just have to do some investigation.

Good luck to you and I'm happy to talk if you'd like.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
