I absolutely loved it!

You produced a wonderful documentary, and I'm going to share it with everyone I know, most importantly relatives. Well done! I think your documentary will make a difference in their understanding of the disease.

I think it's great. I was just diagnosed in November so I'm not a very informative critic. I must say you could add Migraines to your list of symptoms. And you could mention other problems that are linked to celiac besides thyroid. For example some people develop type 1 diabetes from years of untreated celiac disease. Many women have miscarriages. Etc.

Sometimes you have to give posts on this forum time for everyone to read them. Give it more time and I suspect you will have more feedback.

PS I too will share it with the world.

I just watched it- very nice! I'd be interested to hear more about the vaccine they are working on! Interesting at the end asking random people if they have heard of it! I ask people that question a lot and surprisingly a lot of people have heard of it.

I hadn't heard of it until I got diagnosed though (well, I should say until I started researching what could be wrong with me)!

Thanks for your responses :)

I really appreciate your feedback. I could add some more information about the symptoms...

The important thing now, is to make our issue popular! I am right now in Malaga Spain and it is really nice hear to eat gluten-free ( lots of stuff has label on it "sin gluten") but however in the restaurants nobody has a real appreciation for it..

Thank you for your post...great video. Do you have Celiac too?

Yes i am a celiac as well.

Thanks again :)

Really well done video! I just have one little nit-pick. In the narration at about 6 minutes and 20 seconds is is stated that "when gluten is eaten the bowel will get infected". It is in the section where the body outline is shown. We don't get infected by gluten though, as it is not a living organism. Gluten does trigger an immune system reaction that creates antibodies that damage the small intestine.

Thanks your are absolutely right my interviewed specialist already noticed that. In 10 Minutes time I didn't want to go too deep in the medical aspect. Though it is wrong, but an infection may have a similar effect. Anyway I might correct this.

Thanks

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
