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

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
