What A Wonderful Community

I'm fairly new here, and I found this website while looking for answers to my own issues.

There are enough posts here that sound eerily familiar to my own situation that I felt the need to sign up and participate here.

I'm undiagnosed, but fresh into a gluten-free diet (this is day 3) to see if helps - and so far, so good.

It's great to see a community full of such caring people, and I hope to make a few friends along the way that understand what I'm going through. I won't post my big long history here, but it's available in my blog if you care to read it. ;)

I just wanted to say Thanks for such a great resource. I've learned so much in a very short time.

Welcome!

I remember when I first arrived here. So many people were here to hold my hand and help me through the world of Celiac.

I hope you feel at home here and if we can help in any way, please ask.

Thanks for the welcome, Momma Goose. :)

I guess that's kind why I'm here, for the hand holding. LOL I've felt like I've been enduring all of this by myself, since I don't *look* sick, I just feel sick most of the time.

I do already feel pretty at home here, because I see myself in so many of the posts written here.

Hopefully I can keep learning about celiac disease and gluten intolerance and help someone else down the road.

Thanks again! I look forward to be an active part of this community.

I want to add my welcome :D

You've definately come to the right place for support! When I stumbled on this site, I was floored to see people discussing all of the things I had been dealing with for so long. I had never been part of an on-line group, worse yet, I wasn't computer literate and had to ask my son how to post! :lol: I just knew I had to be a part of this!

Let us know how we can help :)

Wanted to add my welcome too!!!

This website helped A LOT, especially in the beginning. I am glad you feel welcome here and please feel free to ask away. The forum is full of incredibly knowledgable and caring people who are always ready to help!! :D

Thanks jerseyangel and lizard00!

I'm still reading and reading and reading and trying to absorb all of this new information, but I will most certainly be asking question soon!

Thanks again all!

Welcome aboard!!! :D

Like you, when I found this forum, I read tons of old threads. There was so much information to absorb that I now keep a binder for all my notes. I have numerous sections: Safe Foods, Unsafe Foods, Supplements, Books and Publications, Websites, Restaurants and Menus, Recipes, and also a section for related issues. My daughter has finally decided she needs to be gluten-free so I will probably let her borrow it. ;)

curlyfries, thanks for the welcome!

I've been reading tons of old threads too, and I suppose I should be saving the information as well!

Maybe you should make copies of your binder for sale. ;) J/K!

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped. 
    • Samanthaeileen1
      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
    • trents
      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
