Hi everyone,

First-timer here - I was hoping I could find some people with the same problems as me who can offer som advice (or just tell me that they're feeling the same!)

My doctor has diagnosed me with a wheat intolerance following an exclusion diet. Standard blood test (not checking for coeliac) results also showed I have low urea - does anyone know what this means?? I am now currently awaiting results of a specific blood test for coeliac disease. I'm really hoping it is just and intolerance and not coeliac.

Anyway, I am finding not eating wheat incredibly difficult. I just feel like all of the joy has been taken out of food. Does everyone feel this way at first?

Thanks!

I know it's hard trying to figure out what to eat at first. Try to think of what you can eat. I'm almost 3 months gluten free here. I finally went to a gluten free bakery and bought some goodies a week ago. I got some soft sugar cookies that remind of the Lofthouse ones. I finally decided to try baking. I made some blueberry muffins last night and I have a batch of shortbread cookies to bake today. I'm still having a hard time finding bread, but did find some rice wraps that work nice for a sandwich. Try looking through the recipes and make some old favorite gluten free for a start.

It is so tough at first, but you will find your way. This website is a great way to start.

I hope the tests show what the problem is, so you will know what you need to do.

Good luck!!!

      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.
