I don't know if there is a support group in your area, but I found out recently that there is one in mine. If I'd known 7 months ago, I would have contacted them in a heartbeat! There might be someone close to you who has gone through this who would be more than glad to help you. There is a section here about support groups, you could ask there. Good luck! :)

Give yourself more than a week, though start the process now. It's a learning process, and you'll need time for it. Stick with the basics - no processed foods, just natural whole foods (they taste just fine and are healthy!). As for hardware - non non-stick pots and pans and other materials that won't absorb things don't need to be replaced, but I would replace plastic collanders (strainers) and wooden spoons. (And tupperware items that have pitted over time.)

My son, 3, was diagnosed in June and I know exactly where you are. First, and most importantly, know that in just about a month you'll feel like an old pro!

Second, admit now that you will make mistakes. It's not a big deal. It's just like any other "diet", you realize you made a mistake and just get right back on track.

How old is your son?

Feel free to email me if you need to. I will try very hard to get back to you ASAP.

Thanks everyone!! I am just now trying to buy up some of the things I will need to start off..My problem is what about lunches for school?? I am just so lost right now but am sure in time I will be ok with all this.I am changing the whole family so I know it will be hard but think it would be easier on James too.He is 8 and finds all this very unsettling..

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
