Hi all. I'm very new to this so I'm just getting used to it. I'm a 23 year old from Boston who has never really felt well and always just thought it was nerves or something else. I got a blood test that came back "mildly positive" for celiacs disease because I finally decided to run a ton of tests to figure out why I haven't felt well for about 10 years. I started the gluten-free diet and it has been up and down. I still don't feel well sometimes and don't know what it is that I am eating that is making me sick. I also don't know exactly what it feels like to be "glutened" because I think I just confuse it with not feeling well. If anyone could explain what it feels like to them that would be great! I'm also not a fan of my doctor so if anyone has one that they love in the Boston area that would be great as well. Any and all information I will take because I love to bake and I miss doing that as well... I also miss beer... of course. Its tough being a single 23 year old female who can't eat pizza and drink beer anymore!!

Thanks for everyone's posts as well, they have been helpful when trying to find things quickly!

Well, it sounds like there may be hidden gluten and/or other intolerances. Have you tried avoiding dairy? This very common for a Celiac, especially when the damage to the intestine has continued for so long. Consider other things too, like soy, corn, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and nightshades. Sometimes these other intolerances subside or disappear, and sometimes not.

I'm sure others will have some wonderful advice for you.

Welcome to the board!

      The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?
