Hi Everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the information that is shared on this Board! I have been visiting frequently over the past week while awaiting a confirmed diagnosis, and I love this site and the Boards! I can't wait to read the Blogs!!

As I stated I am newly dx'd and I am anxious for any and all information! I must admit that I am a little "over-the-edge" with all of the information, still trying to make it all make sense! I am paranoid about what I eat now, and get concerned if I have the slightest symptom (my major symptom has been Chronic Fatigue-but I've been Gluten Free for about a week now and feel like the Engergizer Bunny! Wahoo! What a relief), and I know that I'll have lots of questions for you!

Keep up the great work!

Alyssa,

Welcome to the board! I am happy you have found this site, and you have obviously reached the same conclusion as many of us....this is the place to be for Celiac/gluten information, education, and support.

It is overwhelming....but the good thing is that we all truly understand. We were all once in your shoes. None of us were born with this inherent knowledge on Celiac----although, it sure would have been nice!

It is overwhelming to start with, but I hope that this resource will help you greatly. Feel free to ask any question, and I'm sure that someone will chime in and help you out. The good news is that while it is a lot of information to learn right away, then it becomes a pattern, and then it becomes "maintenance." So it won't always be as difficult as it is right now.

I hope you stick around!

Laura

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.

      I think Tierra Farms is a gluten free facility, at least that is what it says on the bag of walnuts that I have.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      All of a sudden I can't get any gluten-free nuts. There are only 2 nuts available that I can find on the market that are gluten-free. One is Mauna loa brand macadamia nuts, the other is Wonderful pistachios. Other than that all types of nuts that are plain nuts, roasted or raw are no longer gluten-free and are processed and plants that also process wheat.  Has anyone found a source for Pecans, almonds peanuts, walnuts, Pine nuts, etc that is gluten-free?
