You know the funny/sad thing is how long we go without knowing! Looking back with the knowlage I have now...I've had symtoms since the age of 6 at least....(elementry school age children should not be passing out for no reason, or having debilitating migraines for no reason...blood tests and cat scans allways came up negitive...maybe a simple allergy test would have been nice!!!)

My point is that this goes unchecked for so long and its not till we're older (in my case 47) that we fially find out whats REALY wrong!!!After the nerve dammage and malnoutrishion...I thought it was MS for the longest time....I only had like 95 out of 100 symptoms... :blink::angry: !!! It's just ashame that none of these "profesionals" had the sense to even be suspicious or make the sugestion!

well now the world is getting wiser about this epidemic...and its begining to bwe a house hold name...maybe someday kids will be tested routinely just as they get their imunity shots...It could happen! :rolleyes::D

Just thought I'd throw in my 2cents !! B)

Hi Ironcross...welcome to the community!!! :D

How long ago did you find out?Have you started gluten free yet? It will take awhile for everything to get out of your system..some days even the good stuff will upset you..you have an advantage being a fittness theripist though...you must allready be eating pretty healthy! just watch for those hidden glutens! theres some good info on the Celiac.com site(as well as this forum) but scott has a list of words to look for that are hidden gluten in ingrediants and what to look for!It's very helpful...google all products you use in your house for gluten...(toothpaste, shampoo, deoderent, your brand of instant coffee...)!! Ya I know...I was shocked too ..but gluten is used as a filler and emulsifier...it's in EVERYTHING!!! :blink::ph34r:

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
