As someone who was told it was all in my head--I was just "sensitive"--for over 20 years, I would like to add my sincere thanks! My experience, like so many of us, was very similar to yours, Scott. I was reading through the thread in question this morning, and was so happy to see that you stepped in. :)

Hey Bev, thanks B)

yes, thank you Scott for jumping in... I got so sick of people for years, including my family, telling me that I either had a mental illness or that it was all in my head. Dr.s included... We don't need instigators coming in to stir up trouble and try to discredit valid Celiac info.

I was reading that this morning too Scott.

Thank you for stepping in.

Seems like we've had our share of disurbers lately. It's not bad to get people to think but telling people it's in their head, celiac can be cured so you can eat gluten, etc.....

Patti,

Didn't I read recently that you were thanked for getting people to think outside the box? We all need to process a lot of different information and see if it may fit. It would be different if a gluten free diet was unhealthy. Any diet CAN BE unhealthy, we still have the responsibility of varying our foods to maximize nutrition.

Yes, but that was completely different--the person was sick with an infection, and thought it was just her Celiac and was trying to figure out what she ate that was doing it. I suggested that it was something else entirely--and it turned out to be a serious infection--unrelated to the Celiac. That's what was meant by 'thinking outside of the box'.

I'm confused--did I say something I shouldn't have? Because it wouldn't be the first time :ph34r:

No you didn't. I referred to the diet since some people (not celiac/gluten intolerant) seem to think that the gluten-free diet isn't healthy.

Oh, ok :) Just my feeble mind not processing again! :D

Double post as put in the wrong thread first** sorry!

Thanks Scott..again, for stepping in.

I also chose to stay with my Internist of 20 who never thought to test for celiac as I was obese and struggling with my weight and constant 'd' for those years..and every year the 'd' got worse and IBS dx came and then after 5 weeks of not being able to eat, constant water 'd' that kept me house bound he tested for celiac. 16 months on gluten-free diet and help on the board for other food intollerances that have cropped up..I have my life back...and my mental health too, not because I was 'crazy' but mentally confussed by my illness from un dx celiac disease. He tells me I know more about celiac disease than he does and I'm helping him and his PA by sending them info too.

Thanks again.

Judy in philly

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them. However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them.  However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.
