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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
