Hi everybody... I am new to the forum, was just finally offically diagnosed the other day. My 9 year old daughter will be having her upper endoscopy this week and I am expecting the same results. Anyway, since I am brand new, I've been reading lots of posts and am wondering... what does CC mean??? I have not come across that term before...

thanks guys! I can see that I am really in for an adventure. I am glad to find this forum for support and as a source for information... but I have to tell you, it's also scaring the heck out of me! I'm thinking "we'll just cut out the gluten and everything will be fine" and now I'm reading about buying all new cookware... getting sick from just HANDLING other people's food... I've gotta tell you, I am REALLY nervous now!!! :(

It seems overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. I can't believe my daughter has been gluten-free for over a year now. I know that we started out with a somewhat limited but safe repertoire of food. Then gradually added (or rather modified our old family favourites) and have greatly expanded our meal options.

You don't necessarily need to buy new cookware. You need to replace scratched up nonstick cookware, otherwise, just give your metal pots and pans a good scrub down. You need to get a new toaster, cutting board, and strainer. Throw out your wooden utensils. If the whole house is not going gluten-free, you need to have separate butters, peanut butters, jellys, etc . . . anything that you dip your knife into and can transfer crumbs to. You'll make mistakes and you'll learn from them. We all do.

There is a wealth of information and lots of people to help in this forum just ask.

      Blood results

      When you say the endoscopy showed potential flattening and atrophic villi, Is that the visual result and you’re still waiting for the pathology report on the biopsies? It is quite possible to have the endoscopy look ok and the biopsies show celiac damage. That happened at my last endoscopy. It is also quite possible to only have damage in some areas. ...

      Blood results

      So even though she was initially diagnosed with IBS, could that have been wrong and she has had coeliac all along even though the endoscopy only showed potential flattening and atrophy inD1. Plus one positive and one negative blood result.It’s so confusing for my old brain!!!!

      Is Purito's Oat In Calming Gel Cream safe for celiacs?

      I'm trying to figure out if Oat In Calming Gel Cream from Purito is safe to use as a moisturizer on my face. In particular, I'm not sure what to think about the oat seed water. Not sure if that should be considered safe or not. The full list of ingredients on their website are: Avena Sativa (Oat) Seed Water (77%), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 2,...

      Blood results

      Aw thank you so much for replying so quickly. Just wish the endoscopy had been clearer but as you say she might be in the early stages although she’s had gastric intestinal symptoms for a few years now but was told it was IBS. She won’t get the results for about 12 weeks which is frustrating, so hopefully if she trials a gluten free diet things will hopefully imp...

      Blood results

      Well, you've done both stages of testing now, the blood testing and the scope/biopsy so there is no reason to postpone trialing a gluten-free diet. And, yes, we get many reports on this forum from people with similar diagnostic experiences that leave them without desired clarity. My take would be your daughter is in the early stages of developing active celiac...

Hopefully her doctor took biopsies from the areas with potential flattening and atrophy.

I know improvements aren’t likely to happen immediately
