Okay

I found this site on a day that I was sooooooo tired and so sick and without any hope of solving any of my digestive issues. I was ready to belive it was all in my head. I google for support groups and this came out. It was destiny. You guys open my vision you gave me hope, I found thru one the postings about EnteroLabs, and the rest is history. Thru your experiences I've been able to share my story and educate inform many people about Celiac and gluten allergies.

You all are a blessing!!!!!!!!!!

I did plenty of lurking here. :ph34r::ph34r:

The first post is the hardest. the rest comes very easy, because you feel at home immediately here.

I don't even remember how I found this site...I just know that it's been such a blessing to me. I lurked for a long time, and then when I finally got up the nerve, it seemed like every time I posted I killed the topic! :blink: I still spend a fair amount of time lurking, but I really try to share my experiences, thoughts and recipes, etc. Anything to make it easier for others who are new or struggling or confused. It's been such a lifesaver to be able to hop on here whenever I want and pretty much be able to find whatever I need here. I've said it before and will say it again--I've learned soooooo much more from the people here than from almost every doctor I've been to.

It can also be a great soursce of entertainment at 2:00 in the morning when I can't sleep! :lol:

Guess I'd consider myself a double lurker, too. :ph34r::ph34r:

I was handed a list of foods my cousin could no longer eat, she didnt know why.

My doctor didnt offer any answers he sent me away with more pills that didn't fix anything.

I took "the list" to the local dietician who did a bit more research, I think she may have actually looked at it, she said that "most" of the things on my "list" contained gluten, but she didnt know if that meant anything.....

I did a search for "gluten" and ended up here after a bit, lurked for a while.... signed up..... lurked more...learned more...... researched more.....

Confronted my Dr numerous times, came away with more pills that didnt work......

Finally said screw the dr's and diagnosed myself.

2 months later feeling better, not 100% but a dang site better getting better daily even tho I dont always notice the daily changes.

The day I found this site really turned my life around. I've only been gluten free for the last 3 months so still have so much to learn as I feel my way along, day by day. I'm afraid I am guilty of lurking still, much of the time. :ph34r:

There are so very many knowledgeable people here to learn from and I do learn constantly. It is a life long journey and it begins with small steps. Each day something new pops up and I go hmmmm :blink: Never would have thought of that.

Thank you for being here and sharing your experiences and encouragement.

I didn't lurk on here too long. I first found the site after looking up itchy rashes. I thought maybe I had DH. Then I had a biopsy that came back spongiotic dermatitis. I found the natural cure for it was a gluten free diet and it led me here.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
