Counseling?

I was in counseling through my college for my freshman and sophomore year for multiple reasons. I haven't done counseling. I am now a senior and was diagnosed with Celiac's in May and sense that counseling may be necessary again for certain aspects of my life that are directly related to Celiac's.

Has anyone ever gone into counseling after a Celiac's diagnosis? DId it help?

Yes, I am in my second year of college, and was diagnosed at the same time, and found myself very overwhelmed. I hadn't seen anyone in almost a year, but I found a counselor through the school, and I am feeling a lot better. I think it helps to have someone to talk to. I have also found that talking to people here, who understand what you're going through, is very helpful.

Good luck to you!!!

Change that first sentence to 'third' instead of second, and that is the exact same post I would have written.

I am in the middle of nowhere where no one has ever heard of Celiac's and have no mode of transportation to the bigger cities.

My dad has Celiac's but it is really hard to go to him and tell him that his daughter's eating disorder is back and she is depressed since he doesn't believe in the so-called psychology mumbo-jumbo.

That in itself is a good reason to see a counselor.

I know finding a support group is easier said than done. I'm still looking myself. Use what services you can until something better comes along.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
