I have finally found a doctor who is taking me and my medical issues seriously. Although this has been great, all the tests that I

The rule of thumb, once a Celiac, always a Celiac.

How were you tested for Celiac? You should not go gluten free until all Celiac testing is completed.

Did you ever have your thyroid checked?

Allergy testing?

Start keeping a food journal.

My Celiac's test was bloods and so was the Sjogrens tests.

I have had thyroid checked - all good.

Had allergy testing - NOTHING. Tests where also bloods.

I have been Gluten free for neally a week now and have already noticed some improvement, which makes me very happy.

Am planning on keeping food diary as I'm sure I will get the Gluten free thing wrong in the initial stages. This may help me also if I have any other good issues.

Any additional advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks heaps

Karen

Why is sleeping a problem? Insomnia? Try taking some sublingual vitamin B12. Or is it painful to lie down?

If your symptoms don't start getting better, and it could take 2 years to feel perfect, you may have to get an endoscopy with biopsy. So keep looking for a doctor that listens to you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
