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!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
