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...........

      Gluten Free Oats

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3 The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive. For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU

      Gluten Free Oats

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73! About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      Hi, I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good. Really hope this helps.

      Gluten Free Oats

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me. So frustrating!!

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.
