Hello. I have recently learned that I have celiac disease. The diagnosis came as a shock but, given the symptoms I experienced that led me to the doctor, Celiac is the one disease/disorder that starts with the letter C that I think scares me the least.

I'm 43 and have experienced what I now see as the symptoms for about 4 years. Maybe longer, I just didn't pay attention to them or they weren't serious or severe enough for me to notice.

I have yet to have the biopsy to confirm but that will be scheduled and I'm just reading and learning about things so, I am glad to have found this forum.

Hello & Welcome

Please remember to stay on gluten until after you have your biospy.. that is very important so you get the correct results...

Hi, and welcome. The other C diagnoses are scarier, aren't they?

Thank you. I didn't know that. I was prepared to go gluten free right away.

Thank you. And yes they are. It's a lot of learning but I know it's survivable and manageable.

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but welcome to the board. I'm also new (2 weeks).... it's quite a learning curve isn't it? LOL

Best wishes with your biopsy.

Thank you. I'm 43 and as healthy as a trout. I'm not at all used to being restricted in what I can eat... or having to think about it I guess is really what it boils down to.

I am reassured every time I walk through a grocery store and see the variety of gluten free food. But it's going to be an adventure...

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      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.
