Hi Steph,

 

Welcome!  Would you care to share your story?  How were you diagnosed?  What are you doing for it?  Is it an easy transition?  Are you making improvements yet?  How long were you sick?

 

My story.  I had symptoms 30 years.  The worst symptoms were mind fog and extreme fatigue.  I have been gluten free 2 years.  I am making improvements having some energy.  My mind is clear and working!  I hope to hear such from you soon!

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too - about 2 weeks. Worst symptoms for me is stomach problems, and fatigue. Have you been at this long? I'm still trying to figure it all out!

Hello,

Thanks for writing! Very new to this... Yes stomach problems and fatigue!! Then oddly when I was fasting, I felt so much better... It then occurred to me as I started to eat again that it was the gluten... Sure enough within an hour of gluten, I'd feel it...

I feel happier too! Is that weird? Could it be related?

Welcome Steph!

 

If you haven't been tested for Celiac Disease, you should do so as soon as possible.  Ingesting gluten is essential to give the celiac antibody tests their best chance for accuracy....no need to overdo it -- a slice of glutenous bread per day until the testing process is complete is plenty.

 

Let us know if you have any questions :)

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
