hey

I found out I was celiac about 2 years ago. I like to play soccer and ultimate, I am on my schools track team. Where are you guys from?

Lacrosse? That's a scary sport. Very painful.

I like to run. I'm on my school's track and cross country teams, and although i'm not amazing at it, i just have a great time. there's nothing like running to make you feel better (or to stop those gluten crazvings ;) )

For fun I like to play soccer, and in the winter I go up north and snowboard with my cousins. Also drawing and writing are fun hobbies for when I'm bored and can't excercise (I live in Florida and right now there's so much smoke outside from the wildfires that it's not healthy to go out).

As far as languages go, I'm in my third year of spanish in school and I'm also fluent in Hindi because I'm half Indian.

Oh yeah, and I'm really glad I found this site!

hey everyone,

my little sister has been experiencing celiac-like symptoms and my family and i were wondering about the testing. what are the blood tests available, and can her pediatrician set them up? (we don't know much about testing because i was diagnosed through endoscopy while checking out a different problem. but we don't want her to have to get one)

hey,

I was diagnosed when I went to the doctor (just my local clinic) and they noticed I was having celiac like symptoms. Then they just gave me a normal blood test and they did a TTG count in my blood and then the results were positve. I don't know if that will help you but good luck!

Hey, I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago! I used to play soccer but quit so I could spend more time riding. Lately I haven't been able to ride cuz iv been sick. going gluten free is a lot harder than i thought it would be. i also have eosinophilic esophagitis (e.e.), which is like an allergy. They thought i had e.g.e. (Eosinophilic gastroenteritis), too, which is a food allergy. So I was on an elimination diet (no milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, fish, or soy) for a month. that didnt help so they did more tests and so now we think i have celiac disease. I am on the 3 month no gluten test.

p.s. i am also lactose intolerent.

MJS,

for the blood tests, have her pediatrician order the TTG and AMA or Ema (I cant remember.) I don't know exactly what they stand for, but those are the ones that they use for diagnosis. Also, there is a "Celiac Panel" which has everything in it, except not always the 2 i mentioned. So, make SURE those are in there.

thanks. my parents are gonna wait until after school gets out to get her tested. hopefully she's not a celiac.

yeah i think lacrosse is cool. i played pickup games with my cousins in arizona but i live in florida and there aren't any teams anywhere near where i live. we have city leagues for ultimate, though, and lots of my friends play on them. it's a great way to stay in shape.

i really love running. does anyone here go to cross country camp? my teammates and i are looking for a good but affordable camp to attend over the summer.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
