I got the call yesterday that tests confirmed I have Celiac Disease (which I had never heard of until 2 weeks ago!!) I guess I have a great doctor, because he caught this on my first visit with GI complaints.

Just wanted to say I'm glad this site and this board are here. I'm going to need a LOT OF HELP! :huh:

Also, had colonoscopy today and am feeling incredibly sick from that. I'm really looking forward to feeling better!!

Welcome deedee,

I'm also a newbie here. I have found this forum to be very helpful. The members in here are so great they should get paid like the doctors do :D

use this forum daily, it really helps.

Terri

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
