I am currently waiting for my health I durance and required number of waiting days before testing and official diagnosis... My mother and sister were both diagnosed with celiac years ago. they are both rail thin. They experienced mostly skin sensitivities and some mild lower gi issues before they were diagnosed. I on the other hand cant lose weight on any diet and exercise plan I have ever been on. I miss Atleast one day a week of work due to severe pain and excessive diarrish and explosive vomiting of everything I have eaten in the last 24 hours. Has anyone else had similar symptoms? I feel like the term celiac is being thrown at me because it's the animal everyone knows.

...

Those are pretty common symptoms for celiac. There's such a wide range of possible symptoms, I don't think there's a good reason to think yours should match your relatives', if you were wondering about that.

Have they been building up for a while?

Hope you don't have too long to wait for the insurance.

Isn't this the kind of thing that won't happen to Americans any more after 2014?

      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/
