Welcome here! :D

You won't find a better site for Celiac information. Please feel free to join in or ask any question. Celiac is scary in the beginning, but it does get better.

How can we help you?

I see this is an old post. My doctor says I have Celiac Disease, I have all the symptoms but just waiting to go to the specialist and for the biopsy. I am so lost right now and don't want to eat anything and eating out that we always did is now such a hassle....

So frustrated!

Hi Krista,

I assume that you are living in Nova Scotia since you are bringing up this old post.

It is a big shock when the initial diagnosis arrives, but I can tell you it gets better. There is a lot of support in Nova Scotia. The NS Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association has support groups in Halifax, Sydney, Baddeck, Cheticamp and New Glasgow. The Halifax group meets every 3rd Thursday (except December, July and August) at 7:30 pm at Veterans Memorial Hospital. I have found a lot of support there. Here is their website: Open Original Shared Link

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
