    Welcome to the forum! Some Celiacs don't even have many symptoms , and fatigue and brain fog are very common so don't rule out Celiac Disease because you don't have the traditional symptoms.( bowel / digestive problems, DH) Just be aware that if you want an endoscopy or blood tests for Celiac, you will need to be eating gluten , my damage is so long...

    Have to agree with the others here , w/o gluten the atrophy of the villi will stop and gradually heal
  4. nutralady2001
    My doc wants me to have a follow-up endoscopy in 12 months to see what healing there has been , hopefully that will be it

    Just sneaking in here In Australia the fries and hash browns are gluten-free. (Coeliac Society say that as well so it isn't just the McDonalds site) Open Original Shared Link Of course you still need to ask about the dedicated friers and think of the c/c issues

    My primary symptoms if I get glutened now are brain fog and fatigue..............mind numbing fatigue I will stay in bed and sleep the clock around! I was told for nearly 40 years that I had "IBS" in fact the damage to my villi was so bad it still showed up in a scope after 12 months gluten-free with a couple of slip-ups and taking iron tablets when I...

    Hi Amber here in SA shops weren't open til today and retailers moaning and groaning they will"lose" $80 million in revenue then in the next breath they are saying they expect $100 million in sales today Doesn't matter when the sales are on people still have the same amount of money to spend and will spend it regardless

    My son and d-in-l gave me a huge box of Ferrero Rocher chocs for Christmas one of my faves, as part of my Chrissy present (they also gave me a Body Shop voucher lol so all is not lost will love going in and choosing something)..............checked the ingredients ......."wheat flour".......*sigh* I have just been "officially" diagnosed via biopsy and blood...

    I am at my daughter's for Christmas and brought my own toaster/butter/jam (labelled with my name) etc didn't use her chopping boards. She rolled her eyes and said "You are paranoid Mum, a crumb won't make you sick!!" I told her my doctor wants all my children tested and she rolled her eyes again . I have another genetic (non-auto-immune) condition which...

    Thanks for posting Dr S. I at long last have an answer as to why my teeth have been the bane of my life since I was a child to the point where I now have a top plate and am staring down the barrel at a bottom one in the not-to-distant future. I used to get so upset when dentists told me I wasn't looking after my teeth when I knew I was

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

    nutralady2001 replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Teflon brain.....I like that. I have the double whammy of being hypothyroid as well as Celiac and brain fog/overwhelming fatigue is a symptom of both although am slowly getting better

    Yes I certainly understand the docs of the '50's and '60's not figuring it out. My poor parents took me to skin specialist after skin specialist in the 1960's trying to figure out this terrible "eczema" of mine. I had my whole hands bandaged up in gauze bandages where it was worse and my Mum had to bath me (at age 16) that how covered I was Of course...

    Not sure Saz. I know georgie gets some lollies etc from online stores but obviously you won't get them in time for Christmas And speaking of restauraunts has anyone ever eaten at a Hogs Breath Cafe? Open Original Shared Link You think you'd be OK with steak and salad but thinking of CC
  14. nutralady2001
    Thanks Richard yes I will, I am even suspicious of my daughter's skin condition now wondering if it is DH and not lichen planus , we'll all be together over Christmas so will talk to them then

    Thanks Tiffany....I know I'll be OK.......... it's the answer to 47 years of misery They say in Australia only 1 in 10 people with Celiac Disease ever get diagnosed which is woeful statistics. My doctor wants my children to have antibodies testing done ( yes know tests can get false negatives) Have an appointment Friday morning with some-one at the...

    I guess I just want to vent more than anything else. Here I am with finally a positive diagnosis of Celiac Disease. My problems started in the late 1950's when I was 11-12. Started getting lots of diarrhoea Then at 15 I got "eczema" Found some photos on the net this is close to what it looked like Open Original Shared Link My parents took...

    Try 47 years of being told you had "IBS" after initial symptoms at age 12 and "ezcema" at age 15 So many things make sense now, the "IBS" is Celiac Disease (diagnosed by positive biopsy October 2007 and subsequent positive antibodies November 2007) and the "Ezcema" I am sure was DH
  18. nutralady2001
    Thanks Georgie that would be good!!! Still have to join the Coeliac Society have the forms for the doc to sign next visit. you know what it's like in Australia, must have an official diagnosis and form signed by a doctor to join
  19. nutralady2001
    I read an article that said only 1 in 10 Celiacs in Australia are diganosed which was me for over 45 years. "IBS" diagnosis is rife however...go figure
  20. nutralady2001
    Most maltodextrin in Australia comes from maize and our labelling laws for products produced /manufactured/packaged here here make it compulsory to say if a product contains gluten /wheat/barley etc

    Welcome! I was misdiagnosed for over 45 years ( read my siggie line) I just accepted the intitial diagnosis of IBS and was never offered any testing over the years Now I am gluten-free so many things makde sense and do I know it when I am glutened now, still recovering from an accidental glutening last Friday night If you are happy not to have an...

    I bought some hamburger buns (Country Life?) Anyway I toasted them they were good added tomato and cheese and put under the grill Not too fond of the gluten-free bread was a white bread addict so I usually toast it, the Country Life fruit loaf is yummy Does anyone make their own bread? If so what breadmaker if you use one /mix do you use? How does...

    Welcome! I believe my life was one long misdiagnosis as well starting at 12 when I started getting what was diagnosed at age 21 as "IBS" teenage years with "eczema" now believe it was DH right up until 2 months ago at age 59 when an endoscopy concluded I had Celiac Disease It's great being with others and sharing finding out others went years w/o a diagnosis...

    As some-one else suggested as part of trying to figure it out get thyroid testing done. You need TSH, Freee T3 and Free T4 as well as an antibodies panel including all antibodies testing for both Hashimoto's and Graves Diseases
