Hello Everyone!

I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions I have had here! I'm Kip, a 44 female and I was diagnoised with Celiac May 2010. I've had intestinal issues most my life and I have Raynauds. Lost muscle and weight and had no idea why. I started having severe abdominal pain the week before Thanksgiving 2009. Been in some type of pain everyday since. Yuck!

I am usually a very happy upbeat person with a big sense of humor. I have to admit, the celiac has taken some of that away for now. Just for now! :) I work with kindergarteners, and have two teens myself. They keep me going and make life interesting at times!My children are not happy with the thought they may have to go gluten free. In proccess of getting them tested.

Been through a lot so I am happy to know why I have so much pain. Yet, the doctor didn't give me much to go on or talk about CC.

I'm trying to find my way! The nurse at my Endo told me several places to shop in the next city over from me. My community has very little knowledge of Celiac JMO. Most people wonder if they can catch it from me or that I am being neurotic. The dietition was a big help with food etc. Thanks for your help here on other products!

It's helped so much read ther post knowing others have been through the same thing and have the same concerns.

I'm from NC as well

Hi Kip,

My name is Debi(goldfinger) I have not been diagnosed with celiacs but I put myself on a gluten free diet last week becuase of feeling bad, obesity, joint pain depression, which all could be related to my hypothyroidism; however I decided to try this to see if I felt any better.

Where in N.C r u?

Gluten intolerance stripped changed me from a happy, funny person to a miserable anxious depressed person. Since going gluten free and treating candida, I am now a happy, funny person again. Just talked with a friend today as how our lives are so much richer because we have humor in them.

I am so happy to have me back:)

      Gluten-Free Newbie

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
