New...scared Of Gaining Weight

[Guest CarBear]

I am concerned about my health. Okay. I just don't feel like gaining weight. Most people don't. Sure I said I would turn anorexic if I started gaining weight, but that was an exaggeration. HEALTH is 1# of course.

I DID do research on celiac, I read that you don't necissarily need surgery, medications or anything, just diet and stuff which I am doing so why take more tests if its just going to confirm that I must stick on the diet? I already know what to do, celiac disease or not. I don't see a need for tests and I don't care about getting tests done because there isn't a need for them...if there was the nutritionist would have said so. He gave my other family members stool tests, why not me? He's a strong believer in stool tests, and obviously didn't see the need for me to get one, most likely based on the questionairre I filled out and other things.

The nutritionist helped loads of people, many of my family and friends so I trust his word. I don't think he's crazy. If he is OH WELL. He didn't say for SURE when my health could go downhill...its just an estimation based on his evaluation. Can't people estimate? I'm taking my chances. I know that celiac disease is not corrected by surgery, but some people have need surgery to remove a portion of their intestine that got overly damaged. I'm going to ask more questions when I go for my next saliva test in a few months. Allergy or celiac, same procedure in dealing with it. NO need to yell people, GEEZ (well not all of you are yelling).

Who knows maybe people here are not even as informed on celiac disease as they think? People can't possibly know everything about everytyhing. Maybe it IS possible to develope celiac disease if you have an allergy. You never know. It's possibly. ANYTHING is possible. And no one can be 100% sure that someone is crazy or not without knowing them, testimonials of other people, and 304720374 more things. It's possible that people research differently than others too. What I've researched could be different from what other people have researched. It's not impossible, but unlikely that everyone looking at the same exact source for information.

Trying to keep calm here..haha. To start, your nutrionist could be AMAZING and that is wonderful that you have someone you and your family and friends can trust. However, you and you and your body is not your friend's or family's body, so try to stay open to seeking other nutrionists or a specialist who deals with Celiac Disease. Like you said, people can not possibly know everything and the INCLUDES DOCTORS! I lovvvved my doctor, she diagnosed me and pushed to get me better. I am dealing with other health problems at the moment and I am at the point where I need to seek other professionals to help me.

Another point I need to make is that no, we are not nutritionists and doctors and amazing researchers, we are a large group of people dealing with the same problems and offering eachother ADVICE. My doctor and my nutrionist don't have my disease. People on here have my disease and if they can give me some advice that I MYSELF choose to look into, that is wonderful. Educate yourself, choose who you want to believe and trust and ask as many questions as you can. Best wishes!
