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:)

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
