I Have Good News Regarding My Plight

Hello! If anyone remembers this thread:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...mp;#entry519602

I was not only Unhappycoeliac but angry one to. Anyone after reaching my wits end of the 'am i doing good' and im i doing bad scenario I vowed to get a blood test. Which I did and I got the results just now and basically everything is healed on well on the way

B12.VitD, folate, thyroid function,calcium, other stuff I have no idea about

Where all basically stuffed as of July last year when I was diagnosed.

I can happily report these are all now normal and I am pumped. My doctor was quite happy and mentioned it shows I had been making an effort I am effectively nutritionally healed of this disease and continuation of the gluten free diet will see the anti bodies go down.

That is the bad the anti bodies where both over 130 at diagnosis and now one is

40 and is 53. They both however need to be under 20.

I am very happy I am healed and most definitely continuing a gluten free diet.

For the battlers out there I have struggled immensely i love food, i suck at controlling temptation and in social situations and other situations I have simply given in. The important thing is getting back on the horse though.

I have maybe had gluten up to 5-8 times (minuscule amounts) in the last 3 months but have managed to recover nutritionally. Once the belt is tightened I will also get the anti bodies down.

Anyone I also coined up my new motto while passing time in the doctors surgery and that is

"if Nutritionally sound coeliac represents just a diet, if not it is a disease"

Anyway all of my 70 or so posts have been mostly getting help and being angry so im glad to post some good news. I think everyone here is really tolerant and i appreciate the mods always moving around my threads and stuff :)

My doctors words on my stuff ups where 'the blood test represent mostly an adheral to the gluten free diet over a long period of time.

And it hasn't been that long even 3 mths ago I was still in shambles not even knowing lollies etc had gluten and actively eating them. Done ranting now I am really pleased. In 3 mths i go back for another test.

I ironically two of my liver enzymes are above what they should be and I have to get a cholesterol test that is the bad news to much fatty diet the doctor suspects

Yeh i am getting the hang of it need to get more fruit and vegs in my diet though.

If i understand right alot of the probs with coeliac is due to nutritional deficiency which I no longer have so I am good about this.

Positive I only had celiac for 2-5 mths before diagnosis too at 21. So im in good set if I am still kicing at 80 this will be easier to managae i guess.

There is a vaccine in stage 3 process at the Melbourne hospital atm things will get better in 20 yrs or so i hope

Good for you! Keep up the good work! I think it's normal to be angry for a time about this. I mean, it's not fair, is it? And it's all up to us to eat right but the world makes it so hard to do a good job at staying gluten-free. I used to get angry at myself for accidental glutenings, but I think I'm starting to accept that I'll have no control over it sometimes and, despite my best efforts, it's still going to happen on occasion.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
