Another Celiac Patient Joining The Group! Labs Came Out Positive

:( Hi friends! I was on the forum last week and the week before suspecting Celiac after my doctor I went to see because of getting sick alot with my intestines and he ordered labs and I am scheduled tomorrow for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. He wanted to check for Celiac.

My labs were positive! And he did confirm Celiac Disease. I ordered the grocery shopping guide and am glad I did. It will be very helpful in helping me get well again. I was hoping I wouldn't have to have the other two tests but because of my age and cancer running in my family, he still wants to check me out really good. I got some major damage and have been this way for years never knowing it was Celiac. And have been a very sick female! 27 years I have suffered with this mess and went from doctor to doctor complaining. Now it is official! I have Celiac!

Thank-you so much for helping me! Now I have to learn all about this disease and how to control it by stopping all glutens!

Another thank-you to Lisa for getting me in the forum and telling me all about Celiac! My sister took her son in yesterday because he has been sick for two years now. Poor boy has been vomiting for 3 weeks and gets headaches all the time. Plus he has other things going on. We are just about positive he too has Celiac. Then my mother to is having the same problems. She has been sick for alot longer than me!

Thanks to Lisa for guiding me in the right path! Those labs came in handy and now I am officially a Celiac Patient!

This site really gave me alot of help and I appreciate everybody that took the time to help me!

God bless!

What a relief!! And not that I hope other family members of yours have it, but if they do, you can ALL get healthy together. :) And eat at each others houses without worry. There are blessings along with the curse. May you find them all!

Linda,

Welcome to the Club! ;)

I am so glad you found the right path toward recovery. The theme around here and nationwide is "Celiacs Helping Celiacs", so pay it forward and reach out to others. Your family looks like a great place to start. :)

You have exciting days ahead, full of recovery and good health. I'd be willing to bet you will be seeing improvement in your other issues and your diagnosis of Lupus may be reversed.

Best of health to you and looking forward to seeing you here!

Congrats on your diagnosis. It's a great relief to put a name to your seemingly disjointed problems and finally have an action plan. I was so relieved and grateful. I know you are on an exciting journey to improved health. Have a healthy holiday and New Year!!

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
