I really would like to know, my doctor says that I have "Celiac Sprue Disease" is this the same as 'celiacs"

I never see CSD only celiac disease what is correct or is it all correct and have different meaning.

Also does one always have DH if so then are colds sores which I haven't had in 3 months I also had super big blister like sore on my face itself a few months ago very painful. :unsure:

Thanks

Rebecca

Rebecca, Celiac Sprue and celiac disease is the same thing. And no, not everybody with celiac disease has DH as well.

Celiac Sprue is kind of he "old school" name for Celiac. It is also Celiac not Celiacs. :)

Most of us just call it Celiac....you will see that the majority of the time .... hence, the C D.

Also, in some European countries, it is spelled "coeliac"

Oh-another one, which is the same thing, is "non-tropical sprue" (because there is a type of sprue that you can acquire, but is not common, and not really related to Celiac.)

If you think you have DH, you should get it biopsied. But make sure you find someone who knows the protocol for biopsying it...many don't.

Hope this helps.

      An observation about psyllium husk

      By transplantwest · Posted

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.

      Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

      By DanMc · Posted

      BuddhaBar, I came across this thread while searching online for celiac insomnia (having also scared myself stupid by finding out about fatal insomnia) and it did bring me some piece of mind as it so closely matches my own experience. I know this thread is old now, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting your experience.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      By cristiana · Posted

      That's great news, @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour.  And you might find that if you do have asthma, keeping your reflux under control may help, if my experience is anything to go by.
