Hi Everyone, I'm looking to hear from anyone whose life/relationships have been damaged because of non-diagnosis (or diagnosis too late). Unfortunatly I have experienced this and I imagine I am not alone.

Yes, I won't put my whole sad story here. I was such a bad tempered b. My poor kids, my poor husband. He is not the most nuturing type. When ever I was sick, somehow he was sicker. My illness really hurt our sex life. I was sick for about 30 years and married for about 14 of them. Now I am healthy again, but my marriage is still suffering the after effects. Life goes on.

Thank you for writing. I am so glad you are healthy again. I am gettting there. It is amazing. I am currently separated with a 16 month old - pregnancy (though then undiadnosed for 20 years/life) put celiac into high gear. I am not sure what is going to happen and just take things day by day. I would be sadder if I did not feel so awesome and healthier than I ever have. I hope your family heals just as you are/have. I hope more people get diagnosed sooner. With all the gluten-free menus out there now I hope that starts getting this more out in the public. Yep, life goes on. :)

I can relate. For years I didn't want to go anywhere as I just felt bad. If I went to family event and after eating a meal I would be exhausted and unsocial and would leave early. We started taking separate vehicles to theses events. My marriage has suffered.

But life goes on...........

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
