New Guy From Chicago

Hey all,

Just got diagnosed with Celiac Disease at the age of 23 this week and thought I would introduce myself while I get my bearings. Still getting accustomed to the lifestyle, but I'm definitely looking forward to feeling better after about 2 years of misdiagnosis'. So far so good!

Hello..and welcome!

You are lucky to get a DX at a young age so you can omit gluten from your diet. It may save you from a lot of other health problems down the line?

There's tons of info here about making sure you aren't getting cc and adjusting to the life changes. If you have any questions..just ask. :D

      Thiamine and other B vitamins are available without a prescription, but it's always best to discuss supplementing with your doctor and dietician.   I take Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD.  (Avoid Thiamine Mononitrate because it's not well absorbed or used by brain f bodies.)  Benfotiamine especially helps heal the gastrointestinal tract.  Thiamine TTFD is great for improving brain function and mood.  They all work to improve everything, but Thiamine TTFD through the blood brain barrier the easiest, so the brain starts working to control everything better. Every form of Thiamine needs magnesium to make enzymes.  I like Magnesium Threonate which enters the brain more easily than other forms.  Low magnesium contributes to anxiety and depression.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so a B Complex is a good idea.  Don't worry if it already has thiamine in it.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   I get mine online.

      So far, current research does not show that celiac disease directly “destroys” the gallbladder or routinely causes it to need removal. What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, gallbladder disease is also very common in the general population, particularly among women, and many people have their gallbladders removed for reasons unrelated to celiac disease. In some cases, digestive symptoms from undiagnosed celiac may be mistaken for gallbladder problems, which can complicate the picture. So while there may be overlap, it is not accurate to say that celiac disease routinely destroys the gallbladder or that most people with celiac will need it removed.

      Currently having to stop because of mri imaging and past medical stuff that was told to stop with vitamins that would interfere. I keep asking if im diabetic because of the Ketones and when I looked up it mirrors my issues but im negative supposedly. Its all because Im not eating gluten because formerly diagnosed celiac back then just food consumption. Issues is in Cali they aren't addressing the autoimmune part which im currently battling as " just the flu they call it" not its my controlled by mouth celiac but not controlled autoimmune part which last employment damn near killed me as a bus driver and thats the celiac malpractice issue. No care of the patient, as im in this situation. Celiac should follow FOREVER in medical records no matter marriage change name, insurance change, change of anything.It is a battle that is not fair to the patients at all.
