I suppose the 's' gets added because often we refer to ourselves as "Celiacs" meaning people who have Celiac Disease :)

Kalanfan, how did the paper turn out? I have a paper to write for my bio class, and I've been working on it, but was curious to know what sources you used, other than the people here :)

Well im a nursing student and we have to do a research paper on a topic of our choice. Since ive been doing the gluten free thing for a couple of months now i decided to do mine on celiacs. For my primary research i need some questions answered by people with condition so i devised a survey...it would help me greatly if you guys could fill it out.....

What age were you diagnosed with celiac's/gluten intolerance?

33

What were your most common symptoms?

anemia

What are your symptoms when you eat gluten now?

headache, stomach pain, bloating

Do you consider yourself more sensitive to gluten now that you try to avoid it?

yes

Did you or your doctor come up with the celiacs/gluten intolerance diagnosis?

my doctor, via biopsy

Do you have any other food allergies/intolerances?

yes

If yes what?

allergic to brazil nuts

Does anyone else in your family have celiacs/gluten intolerance?

brother has dermatitis herpetiformis

Do you consider the world celiac/gluten free friendly?

no

Explain.

Other than the obvious "whole" foods, it's difficult to find foods that are "safe".

Do you think we need better food labelling laws?

yes

Explain.

To make it clearer what foods are really gluten-free.

Does the world in your opinion need to be more educated about celiacs and gluten?

yes, simply because we are not diagnosed effectively.

thanx in advance for your time...

cramping pain, fatigue, diarrohea

Mr Dr did after I was dx with Hashis Thyroid , she did the testing.

Not that I am aware.

I have 2 cousins that both have Hashis Thyroid and Celiac as well.

Its not too bad but you still feel a freak when eating out and asking for special menus.

Pretty good here in Aust.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
