Since celiac?

Fibromyalgia/restless leg (and it wasn't just diagnosed after I went gluten free, it started after that).

Everything else - asthma, vulvar vestibulitis, chronic migraines, hypermobility - was before celiac, some long enough before that I am certain they are not related (and I'm actually sure that none of the others are related - for me - because the gluten free diet didn't change them in any way.

since celiac diagnosis, I've also been told I'm vitimin D deficient and have high cholesterol. Both easily manageable with diet and supplements. I'm quite certain the cholesterol was elevated because of the gluten challenge and will go back down to normal levels the longer I'm gluten free.

Hypothyroism

Asthma

Chronic sinusitis

Then celiac. Hoping the others will get better or go away now that I'm gluten free.

I have been healthy my entire life and started having stomach pains this August (2009). I went to my Primary care doctor who thought maybe it was gastritis and prescribed me protonix. But the stomach ache didnt clear up so my Doc sent me to a GI who tested for celiac disease. Blood work came back postive, so an endoscopy was done which appeared normal but my biopsies came back postive for Celiac Disease [/b]and Eosinophilic Esophagits[/b]. This December I also developed Raynauds[/b]-which is a symptom associated with autoimmune disorders-when I am really cold my toes turn pale and go numb untill I warm them up. I'm only 26 and went from having nothing wrong with me to having three chronic conditons. My doctors have told me that often once someone develops an autoimune disorder they are more prone to develop another. So, know I am nervous that I might develop another condition in the future. While this is frustrating I do find myself fortunate that for the most part I actually feel pretty good, and am glad that my conditoins can be controlled though diet changes so I don't need to take long term medications.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
