I got my official diagnosis this morning.

My doctor said that with the damage I have and my medical records, I have had it my whole life, and it nearly killed me.

I was really surprised to find so much support on the web, though. It is making it easier to be gluten free, which I have had to be since I was released from the hospital a couple of months ago.

You'd have to ask my intestines.

I was unofficially diagnosed a month and a half ago but only officially from biopsy results a week ago. Judging by the fact that I haven't put on any significant weight for 5 years, and have had on-and-off low iron for about 3 years, I'd say it'd be at least that long sinse I've had it. Those are my only symptoms which is good in a way but it also means my diagnosis has been postponed.

I had celiac almost all my life -- nearly 50 years. That's why I refer to myself as a banana baby. Way back then you eliminated everything and were started on bananas, and gradually added things.

About three weeks ago although I've been on the diet for 5 weeks. I've prob. had symtoms all my life but was told it was the Cerebral Palsy. I started having unexplained problems in 95 and my first bout of low iron in 2000. I'd say I've been sytomatic for 13 years it just got to a breaking point 6 months ago.

I have had celiac officially for about 3 years..always had stomach aches though since ealry childhood, so probably longer.

at first it was really hard, but each day it gets easier.

I am a nutrition major in college, so i hope that one day i can help people the way i was helped.

I am on my 6th week on my trial diet and it seems to be helping. I'm going on my first long trip soon. I'm not sure how much or what I need to bring. Any advice?

Hi.

I been having symptoms all my life, since I was a kid, and I found out about Celiac at the age of 39.

The worse and more severe symptoms have been with me for the past 20 years.

Best regards to everyone.

I have only known for one month. Some of my symptoms are definately those of celiac. I tested positive for the genetic test so no gluten for life they say. :unsure:

      Vomiting - celiac or constipation

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Morning All, Just an update, I got an urgent appointment through my contact with PALS. The doctor confirmed her levels were the highest possible so she likely had higher levels of inflammation. Since the appointment, they ordered a second set of bloods, but as many of you confirmed he felt there was no doubt she was coeliac so asked us to start gluten-free. Since starting around a month ago, we have had no vomiting and this is the first week that we haven’t had to give her movicol. She’s had a (currently) a two week break from winter colds which is unheard of for her as she used to have a permanent cold in the winter months. Her tummy is softer and deflating quite a lot and her faces looks a little rosier. It’s wonderful and although I know we will have tough times in the future and difficulties with eating out, I feel so happy that we can make her better.    Thanks all.

      Vomiting - celiac or constipation

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  My son was diagnosed at weaning in 1973 His treatment was Nutramigen until he healed and was weaned to a gluten free diet.  Nutramigen with Enflora LGG Toddler: Designed for older infants and toddlers aged 9 to 36 months  While your medical system is causing delay, I think you should start GFD and document improvement and do gluten challenge when the doctors are ready for her.  She is suffering and you don't know how it is affecting her growth and she is positive.  Waiting on the beauracracy.  I still remember how my son suffered while we looked for the reason.  One doctor wanted to give my wife valium because his swollen belly was being caused by her anxiety.  But to know the answer and have to watch her suffer!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In case your tests turn out negative you may still want to try a gluten-free diet. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Thank you for your answer. Well, I'm going to eat at least 5 slices a day, each of them is 35 grams. I think I'll do blood tests again after four weeks. If the results are negative or not clear, I'll continue the challenge and repeat blood tests again after another four weeks.

      Antibodies went up

      You are correct in looking closer at her diet, as there may still be trace amounts of gluten, even from a gluten-free bakery (are their ingredient suppliers certified gluten-free?). You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
