    That’s interesting, I’m not sure they have any of those doctors where I live but it would be nice

    Very hard Thanks for this information, I sure hope you get to feeling better! This journey is tough!!

    Scott- I read this article and inserted the part that confused me... so it says if it’s a weak positive TTG-IGA they recommend 2 more tests.. so if those tests are then done and results are negative does that mean the person is NOT celiac even with a positive weak Ttg-IgA?

    Thanks for replying and for the information. It was a month, at least maybe 2, of consumption. I am not sure what is considered a large amount of gluten. Can you give an example? I have been taking vitamin d, zinc, vitamin b1 and a super b complex. I have a centrum womens multi vitamin but I have not been taking it. I did try a digestive enzyme but it...

    Will do, thanks! I’ll google when I have some free time to read as well

    Thank you. I have not googled it, and I tried to search on this forum but was unsuccessful finding any posts.

    Can gluten consumption in celiac disease or NCGS cause menstrual issues? My hormones have been a mess recently. I take birth control pills daily and have for years. I was consuming something with gluten daily for a month or so without realizing it. I was also taking digestive enzymes after I realized my mistakE thinking it would help. I am about 2.5 weeks...

    I just found out recently something I was consuming was not gluten free. This was something that was basically a daily part of my life. It has been around 2 weeks since I stopped that and have been as far as I know gluten free. this current reaction has made me extremely ill from head to toe, including lots of fluid retention, swelling, pain and gastrointestinal...

    Thanks for the info! I didn’t realize it could negatively impact things for me. Thanks for the good info!

    I have not been formally diagnosed with celiac through an endoscopy. I had positive TTG IGA antibodies twice and symptoms majorly improved going gluten free. My question is should I list celiac disease as part of my medical history? Is it an important factor? I live in the US and based on experiences I could see docs asking who diagnosed me and who is my...

    I have a lot of numbness and tingling-didnt realize celiac could cause all this Mine is definitely untreated at the moment.and prior to this bad flare up I had been bad 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
  12. Ginger38
    It’s painful and makes it hard to eat, can I ask what you do to treat the issue?
  13. Ginger38
    Anyone ever have mouth sores/ulcers and oral irritation? what causes this?? I’m having a terrible time with these issues right now. I’m not sure what I can do to help and it’s really starting to worry me

    Does consuming gluten with celiac disease or NCGS cause insatiable hunger issues? I swear I could eat 24 hours a day right now and eat the legs off a chair. It’s frustrating. I’m overweight as it is. I made a big boo boo recently and had gluten (didn’t check all my labels / ingredients 🤦🏼‍♀️) so I’m just wondering if this is triggering this insane hunger ...

    Wow..that’s a lot of associated conditions, kind of scary
  16. Ginger38
    Wow, I guess I don’t truly understand enough about all this. So what exactly happens when gluten is consumed? The immune system sees a foreign invader and I’m assuming starts attacking or something? And that causes various symptoms throughout the body? Do the digestive pills that are supposed to help digest gluten help with gluten consumption/autoimmune rea...
  17. Ginger38
    I am assuming untreated means not adhering strictly to the gluten free diet?

    I am never sure where to post these discussions.. sorry if this is not the right place. I am wondering if hair loss is linked to celiac/gluten intolerance? I do have thyroid issues and I am on thyroid medicine and have my levels checked, so it should not be linked to that. When I was younger I had a head full of thick hair... and in the last 10 years...

    Thanks! I am going to try the supplement you mentioned. I purchased some yesterday.. so it should be here tomorrow. I am HOPING it will help. If I could just feel better, it would be so nice. I don't know if this is common for anyone else but I have such tenderness, that I am guessing is my muscles.. like I can't stand a massage because the pressure hurts...

    Thanks, I think I am very overwhelmed In general and adding this to the mix is a lot. I don’t know why I don’t care more about my health. It’s frustrating. I want to be healthy but I guess I get side tracked on the negative things and cost and I give up and make myself sick. Also I’m very short so there’s no where for my weight to go and I had a C-section...
  21. Ginger38
    I am curious, what things do you eat?
  22. Ginger38
    Maybe if I felt I was getting healthier on this gluten free diet or saw some results like a little weight loss from not eating little Debbie cakes and breads and crackers or just felt like a million bucks I would be motivated. Unfortunately everytime I try to stick to a gluten free diet I lose no weight and my glucose /A1C always goes up. I don’t know what’s...
  23. Ginger38
    I’m curious what kind of things do you eat? What kind of wraps? I have never seen these but we don’t have tons of options where I live
  24. Ginger38
    Thank you so much, this is what I have been trying to clarify. Talking to you made it very simple. Thanks again
  25. Ginger38
    I don’t think the area I live in offers genetic testing but I would be open to it. I have not had other deficiencies tested
