Hi, I'm Subhangi from Australia. Just thrilled to be part of a forum full of people with the same symptoms as me. Been suffering alone for years. Only eye rolls from all the healthy family and friends whenever I complained. This is a b---- of an illness. Love you all and thanks for the gold mine of info. I guess I am in denial. Just changing my diet has not been enough. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago, and still suffering everything under the sun....luv :P

Hi Subhangi,

Going gluten free is certainly not an easy task, though getting easier with a lot of products going gluten free, but its the hidden little things you find gluten in that im finding more of a problem ..

Joining the Coeliac Society, has helped filling me in on products that are safe to eat.

Found out recently that the choc topping on coffee cappicino especially is not always gluten free.. so that was a hidden one for me i didn't even think of... but feel free to email me directly if you like to find out anything.. I have been gluten free for nearly 12 months and my cholestrol and health has improved.. but its a constant battle with food.

My email addy is noreenbriggs@optusnet.com.au if you want to me email me and just vent tis fine..

Good to see another aussie on here...

Thanks .. dreams25

Hi Noreen,Nice to talk to u ;)

Yep, seem to get contaminated everytime I turn around. I'm vegetarian anyway should be healthy but just feel like I'm dying constantly because of this disease. It is so incideous(probably spelt wrong but had to use that word as it is appropriate)I'm curious, diet coke is my weakness, anyone heard anything bad about gluten and coke?

Bye, Subhangi xx

Hello there, sorry your still having relapses. It's definitely not an easy diet but better than feeling awful 100% of the time. I think I prefer having to be on a diet than medicine for life ; D

I read somewhere that all Pepsi and Coke products are ok. Do a forum search on Coke.

Hi Subhangi,

I drink Coke a bit and I have no problems. I hate saying that because this disease affects everyone differently,and even if you aren't having symptoms,doesn't mean it's gluten free,you still need to verify. The best thing to do is call the manufacturer. They all have 800 numbers. I know it sounds like a pain,but you would be sure and it would ease your mind.

Here is a link to mainstream products that are gluten free on this site. :D

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
