I've looked around and I don't see a place for new members like me to introduce themselves. Am I missing something or should I just dive in maybe describing my diagnosis in that forum?

You may dive off the diving board in the section than pertains to your questions.

Nope. No cheerful greeting for you. Instead you get the immediate helpful support of the people that frequent the section you've chosen.

Problem with the kiddos? Post in the parents section and get the 'hello' from moms and dads who have been there.

Nasty skin problems? Scratch along with the posters in the DH section.

Want to pretend for a little while that you've never heard of gluten? Join us in the 'tickle me elbow' thread or on the song game in the "anything other than..." forum

Hi,

Some people post an introduction in the Celiac Meeting Room. But there is no requirement to do that.

So here's a cheerful greeting for you anyway! Hi ! :D

Hi, I'm new too and I just spent the last hours looking for the same thing! I've never blogged so I'm not sure how to even post my questions.

Judging from your name, I assume you will be posting about your child.  You might try the section called Parents of Kids or Babies, and start a new topic there.  There is a Start a New Topic Button and a space for a caption. :)

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
