I just found out the other day that a recent um.. camera procedure indicated that I may be celiac, and am going in for the blood test tomorrow. But this possible diagnosis does make quite a bit of sense and answers a few questions.

With that in mind I really don't want to ask a bunch of questions that have been asked by every person with this diagnosis.. So is there a list of FAQs or something along that line that can help me start making good choices/decisions/purchases?

Thanks in adavance

Did you know you can search the forums? Also, look on the top of the page and there is a button that says Celiac Disease Info, click it. It's the 5th button. I'm new too so I'll let the people who have been on here longer give you more info.

Do searches for specific questions and then don't be afraid to ask questions you don't find answers to - do watch the dates on your search results. So much as been learned about Celiac. The internet doesn't forget though, so there is a lot of mis-information out there still.

as the pp said you can do searches, but also please feel free to ask questions. Even though the same questions get asked again and again the regulars here are super friendly and helpful. They will answer your questions or point you towards a thread with a similar question if it has been asked recently. There are no dumb questions and who knows you might ask something that others haven't asked before. I've been reading here for almost a year and I still learn new things from people asking questions and the answers given by different posters.

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
