I found out a few days ago that I have celiac. In addition I have Type 1 diabetes for the past 26 years, so as you can well imagine, special diets have been a part of my life for quite some time. Originally from the USA, I have been living in Israel for over 20 years. I look forward to your helpful advice and support.

Welcome Mark! Eating gluten-free in Israel isn't bad. I went a year ago (before I was diagnosed) with my brother, who also has celiac, and he didn't have a hard time. We didn't buy any specifically gluten-free stuff, but restaurants were all pretty good. We were a tough group- my cousins, who have life threatening nut and egg allergies, were also with us. And very few of us spoke any useful Hebrew! Welcome!

Thanks. Careful when using the phrase "stick around" :D I use an insulin pump. The best defense I have against the many medical problems I have is my sick sense of humor, and no one is going to take that away.

Even though I have been living in Israel for over 20 years, my Hebrew is not very good either. Fortunately, my wife is Israeli, and every time I do speak Hebrew, my accent is so strong people that don't know me want to practice their English. Given the fact that I live on a kibbutz also makes life easier for me.

Welcome Mark! Avoiding gluten isn't so bad, and you can learn to make breads etc. if you want to eat them. I'm sure the necessary ingredients are readily available in Israel!

Going gluten free may also improve your diabetes....probably type 1 is never eliminated, but the severity of it could definitely improve.

Ask lots of questions here, people are always generous and helpful.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
