B) I have both Celiac Disease and Type 1 diabetes and am hoping to meet others living with both diseases and how you deal with it. I've had diabetes most of my life, but was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a year ago, although after a lifetime of symptoms.

You poor thing! There are lots of foods that you can buy off the internet that are gluten free and sugarfree. Search the web for gluten free food stores then you can look around and see if they are sugarfree. Sometimes they will state in the ingredients or they'll state that they are sugarfree too.

Hi!

I'm Ginny and I'm 15 years old. I, too, have both Celiac and Diabetes Type I. I know how you feel - finding diabetes-friendly gluten-free food is very difficult. However, ever since I got my insulin pump a year ago, my diseases have become easier to have together. But, if are unable to get a pump, perhaps changing your diet would be easier. Maybe instead of relying mostly on manmade gluten-free food like cookies and bread, etc., you could base most of your diet off of naturally gluten-free foods like fruits, veggies. This may help spikes and such. Anyhoo, my IM is munki109 in case you want to talk diabetic to diabetic, celiac to celiac.

Michelle, my daughter Shelby (6) will be going on the pump in August. It is such a pain for us both finding gluten-free carbs (avg 40carbs per meal)that she likes. Now that u r on the pump do u eat alot less carbs (15-20) then before? I feel like we are practically shoving food down her. The only fruit she will eat is Stawberries...way low carbs or applesauce. She has lactaid 13carbs with meals. I am hoping with the pump it will be easier. Has it been for you? Do you eat alot less carbs now?

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
