Well, I am happy to say that I just got the results from my endoscopy and blood tests. I have been gluten-free for almost one year and the doctor said I am completely healed!!!! I was SO excited. All this research/work paid off. My blood tests were all negative for celiac also! So, I am just letting you all know that it is very possible. I go out to eat all the time and never have any problems. I had a really hard time coping with the change in the beginning, but now I can sit with my friends while they are eating pizza and not care. If anyone is having problems on finding things to eat ,or what to do when they go out, definitely let me know. I would be happy to share any info. I have with anyone. Just email me! :P

Dear Jaimek, would you mind my asking if you had done an endoscopy with your initial diagnosis, and all the blood tests? If you did, how much damage had the first endoscopy shown? I'm in the 6th month of trying to do this, and getting discouraged, but your post is giving me hope. thanks, dreamhouses

I was diagnosed by an edoscopy and blood tests, both of which were positive for celiac. My doctor did not give me the exact outcome of the tests but he told me that my villi were completely flat and extremely damaged. There is hope! Don't give up. I have never cheated (intentionally that is), had a couple accidents but that is it. I am extremely careful with everything. Let me know if you have any other questions! :D

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
