    I know, right?? I feel I kind of earned it; after 46 yrs of other doctors saying all sorts of things and not bothering to look at the bigger picture.

    I am quite fortunate in that my GP has already made a note in my file for the biopsy in 12 mths, and she has already arranged for my boys to have serology tests. Plus, she wrote a list of supplements I need, the amounts I need and made an appointment for a dexa scan. She is totally on the ball. She wanted to give me a list of accredited dietiticians, but...

    Definite Coeliac diagnosis. Super high bloods and severely damaged villi. Welcome to the elite team, hey?? ? Thank you all for putting up with me the last 4 weeks. Especially to Cyclinglady.

    Holy moly! Now the biopsy is done, I have had 6 days strict gluten-free. I had forgotten how much BETTER I feel without any gluten. My mood is remarkably brighter, my intestines are a lot less bloated and sore, my joints feel free to move without inflammation, no reflux, no nausea, my back is straight with a better posture from not crouching over a...

    I have just had my endoscopy two days ago. Haven't really been eating much gluten over the last 10 years, but had to eat it daily for the lead up to the endo. I found I had stabbing pain in the abdomen around the navel area. And a dull ache from the left to the right all across just below the navel. Now I am not eating gluten, that left to right...

    Yikes. Not a stack of fun. I think it wise, though, to reschedule with an anaethstatist. Fingers crossed it all goes well for you this time. I understand all too well about feeling crazy and it is all in your head. I had many symptoms of mild haemophilia, some that landed me in hospital for weeks, yet not a single dr thought about...

    Cyclinglady, I need to send you flowers! I owe you a debt of gratitude. THANK YOU. XX

    Hi. I had my biopsy done yesterday. The immediate report noted nothing out of the ordinary. Biopsies taken for h. Pylori and Coeliac. Can my elevated IGG and IGA indicate just the h. Pylori and NOT Coeliac? Could all this be just h. Pylori? Or are the antibodies for both different? Having not eaten much gluten over the last ten years, it...

    I had an interesting week away. I started eaten more gluten for my biopsy about 3.5 weeks ago. I found I was immediately drained at work. I am a 46 yo female truck mechanic and found the physical side quite easy...til the challenge started. I am also an avid bodybuilder, so my sessions at the gym (usually lift 6 days a week) have stopped. No energy...

    We all react so differently. I lose weight easily and have to over eat and do nothing to maintain weight. Make sure you keep up hydration. Might help a bit with the water retention.

    Bahahahahaha! I wondered what fuelled that! On behalf of us all, I thank you, cyclinglady, for all that you do here. You go beyond the extra mile.

    I think I shall avoid that site; along with many others. How annoying information like this gets around! Thank you all, especially cyclinglady, for shedding light on that. Quinoa, rice and sweet potato are my staples. I'd be lost without them.

    https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/47-facts-about-the-gluten-free-diet-that-you-may-have-never-learned-from-your-doctor/ On the list is the suggestion that quinoa isn't so good because it can mimic gluten properties. Thoughts, good people?

    Inflammation weight gain is largely water. The body holds on to it.
  15. Keight
    Lol. Agreed, cyclinglady. You sensible person, you!

    Wow! Thanks for all that, OP. I had two panels done, but without my paperwork here, I cannot tell you what they were; deaminated gliaden IGG or IGA and another with IgG or IGA. One was 110 and the other 70- something. It has me a wee bit anxious that, either, they are false positives, or, I might have a fair bit of damage. If it isn't Coeliac...

    Oh, I should clarify a few things. My Coeliac blood tests were in the very high range, so a biopsy should confirm a Coeliac diagnosis. Blood tests for various vitamins and minerals all came back low on the range of normal. I eat extremely healthy, clean food and am an avid body builder. That was a huge red flag for my dr.

    Thank you, Fredo. My bloods done mid last month showed low in all. Really, the only thing to do is stay off the coffee, or at least enjoy the one I do have. I appreciate you taking the effort to respond. Hi GFinDC. Seems I am on the right track with my thinking. Hoodwinked myself into thinking I was ok all this time. Time to start healing, hey?
  19. Keight
    Thanks, cyclinglady. I guess as I am already low in so many nutrients, it makes sense to lay off the caffeine til I am healed. Just depleting more nutrients, really.

    Hi. I am new to Celiac.com and only had my bloods come back super high. Waiting for my biopsy in 10 days' time. I want to ask if it makes sense that my reliance on coffee to get through every day over the last 8 years could have masked, and even contributed to, my Coeliac symptoms? Lately, I have been avoiding coffee as it makes my symptoms worse...
