Hi I am new to this forum and to my condition. I was looking for help and info and stumbled on this forum and first I want to say

A HUGE thanks to all of you as I have learned so much reading these posts already and I still have loads to read.

Also sorry if I ask any silly questions along the way.

I do not know if I am celiac or wheat intolerant. I had given up wheat for 6 weeks when I had my blood test done and no way could I go back to eating it for another test it just makes me too ill. It has now been 9 weeks since I gave it up and I am still making loads of mistakes but I feel so so much better.

Right I am off to get reading again! :rolleyes:

Hi, I am new here also! what a Godsend this place is! Just diagnosed two days ago...and February 21st was my first gluten-free day ever.

WOW!!! i felt great all day and again today. I hope it's not a non-related coincidence.

I'm going shopping today for lots of "specialty" items without gluten. I've already found a bunch of "normal" food that doesn't contain gluten, but some bread and crackers would be nice too!

      There's more essential vitamins than B12 and Vitamin D! Thiamine is B1. Thiamine deficiency causes insomnia. Thiamine deficiency causes changes in brain function resulting in anxiety, insomnia, depression and dementia. The brain uses more thiamine when stressed emotionally or physically.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease) also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver. So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.
