Thanks all, yes the over load on food is tough going---but will hang on in there ahh didn't think to associate the B12 deficiency--- yes a factor thanks again

i keep thinking that----and i know i have to give it time--- guess now that i know whats wrong with me i kinda figured it would be 'fixed' now--unrealistic perhaps already feeling better which is the major plus thank you

Hi all, i know this is a problem that many people would love to have, but im sure there are many of you who will know how it feels to have lost a whole heap of weight---is really is no fun!!! since being diagnosed 23 july this year i have probably lost more weight due to initially eating only a ton of very safe foods like fruit and veg with meat. i now have...

Hi, just wanted to add that weight loss was one of my first symptoms--was diagnosed in July and since going gluten free have lost even more weight----i believe that this is because i am eating more healhy than ever, but......seriously need to gain some weight now as too thin---i found some gluten free muffins that pack 347 calories each--i try and eat at...

thanks--think that contamination of the coffee/cup was my worry as thinking back the young girl was going from serving burgers to then doing drinks--anyway--won't do that again, this process really is a step in to the unknown at first.

ok so today is day 5 of being gluten free, I've been very careful and only prepared and ate food at home. By day 3 i noticed that my stomach was actually quite and not jumping all over the place. Anyway today whilst at the market i got a cup of coffee (brought from a burger stall) and my stomach has reverted back to sounding like there is a tsunarmi going...

wow--thank you so much, your right about starting with the basic's and although i had cleared the cupboards yesterday--failed to re stock with anything substantial!!! your right this is a learning curve and as daunting as some of this is i am so looking forward to feeling myself again--although realise this could take some time with trips and falls along...

Hi i am very new to what i can or can't eat and only started gluten free today----i have spent most of the day worrying and starving!!!! kept safe with eggs and fruit!!! im not a natural cook and due to heavy work load tend to grab a take away on the way home, obviously too scared to do that now. anyway its just gone 2am (and due to being wide awake through...

thank you--after doing a bit of internet research this evening it would appear that many medical proffessionls are not aware of the many sides to celiac--which is why i am thankful that i have found this site (as daunting as it all seems to initially be) am sure i will eventually get there and this initial feeling of panic will pass. So a big thank you

Thank you---- Consultant said that biopsy tested positive and i do have villi damage he spoke about this in relation to celiac which is why im confused-- one of my main symptoms (amongst many) is weight loss but as my blood tests do not indicate that i am malnourished i.e. not vitamin deficient he said i dont have celiac---although has advised that i remain...

yes, think your right--will see own GP in the morning so .............in fear of sounding totally ignorant (which i am in regards to celiac) bloods don't have to show deficiencies even if biospy has shown i have celiac?

hi, i had an endoscopy a couple of weeks ago where 4 biopsies were taken (re weight loss, pain, constant tiredness and feeling generally unwell) and when i saw consultant for results i was told that i had a hiatus hernia and area of gastritis in stomach (incidental findings apparently and not an explanation for my symptoms) the biopsies however were...

thanks for replying---i am so glad i have found this forum as so much information re gluten free diet out there its all very confusing. I am only assuming that the abnormal biopsy result has discovered celiac---all these other scans and tests are to do with what else has been found so not sure if doctor has 'overlooked' actually discussing celiac specifically...

hi, i had been feeling tired and run down for many months last year but began losing weight in December, saw GP in Feb who sent me for blood tests--results were all ok except B12 was slightly low. upper stomach pains started in May so went back to GP who referred me to hospital-- so far i have had endoscopy--this showed a hiatus hernia and gastritis --i was...
