About Me

I have been diagnosed with celiac disease for 8 years now. No one I. My family nor in school truly understand the danger it is and can be. I was born this way. At 14 years old doctor did a scope to view my stomach I had 1/4 of my stomach left and have scar tissue to this day. I was so close to dying, just a month or two I would have bleed out. Even with my change of diet it feels like my digestive system will stop functioning and it will all be over. People can replace organs but not people with celiac. We truly only have one go, my stomach will never be the same,I will never be the same.

  1. It has been 2 years and 2 months since being glutened my condition is progressing on gluten free diet before the cross-contamination. Not located in cerebellum but frontal lobe near crown. With gluten ataxia I read the symptoms It makes matches but I'm being my thyroid check next month for grave's disease It was my thyroid doctor as a teenager that suggest...
  2. In the past 2 years I had been glutened, so I started taking iron supplement again. Two months ago and as of now my iron levels are normal. Starting next week I start taking vitamin D once a week.
  3. honestly for me nothing.but it unsettling knowing that celiac patients are not cared for properly/ not safe or with respect at my local hospital and school district.
  4. When hospitalized my food was cross-contaminated with ill reason to get back at me. Board of Directors Didn't care how the nurses and lunch staff dealt with my food. I immediately got sick and first month after exposed lost 30 pounds. Next month my eyes muscles weakened and became severally crossed eyed on and off. Few months felt something was off and...
  5. It looks like I'm fat and I can't fit my pants but I think its mostly inflammation. I stop the medication that made me gain around 60 some pounds. And recently had a celiac exposer from over a year. It takes about 2 to 3 years to heal mostly. Still It has been 2 years lost 30 pounds want to lose about 30 more. But even when I lost 30 pounds I only went...
  6. I still don't get why the definition of celiac disease?"Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small bowel" but yet people with celiac are affected in the small bowl but the whole digestive track.
  7. A few years ago cheerios had aired commercial saying that the cereal is gluten free by removing the wheat germ in in the gain. I don't get it I thought about cross-contamination .just because you remove it. I wish companies were not aloud to say the are gluten free because their factories aren't. For people who eat gluten and revive pain and damage from...
  8. stomach bleeding ulcer or leaky gut. from the internal damage from gluten.
  9. it just from all the internal damage and scar tissue. it just never held or ever little. just something I have to live with. After all not like they can replace my whole digestive track. I have a feeling it wont last long my body just gives out on me from being worn out and lack of functioning the way its suppose to.
  10. Just because others can't see what going on inside doesn't mean the the pain you feel isn't there. Not faking it! How long to we have to suffer before someone believes in want we are saying. No one believed me and when I found out I had celiac. Doctor caught it at the last second. He said if no one would have caught it I would have bled out in about one months...
  11. The nearest support group is hours ago so it really cant be considered local.
  12. Mine never really stopped. I throw up about every other month for a period of time at home or at public restrooms. Then go about my daily business as if I never happened.
  13. iron supplement along with daily women's vitamin gummy. The gummies are so concentrated it ends up tasting like barf! YUM.
  14. I get it but, Is it right for the schools general manager food services to say that used because he thought it was to bothersome to take my safety inconsideration when I told him that the lunch ladies were cross-containing a newly diagnosed patient and the lunch ladies lied about the whole situation of uncooked noodles hard as a hockey puck banging of the...
