ARCHIVED Some "about To Have Blood Tests" Questions
maxdad replied to maxdad's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks. I understand what you are saying about not needing a test beyond feeling better. But I think I would like something more "official," although I recognize that doesn't make much sense. And I had three Bushmill's Irish Whiskey (Black) tonight, and so far, no symptoms. Except for the spinning couch, I mean. -
ARCHIVED Some "about To Have Blood Tests" Questions
maxdad posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi: My son was diagnosed last week based on blood tests. Upon reading about celiac, it hit me that I have many of the symptoms, part of a series of stomach problems over the past few years that are usually attributed to stress, IBS, gastroparysis, or some other thing. But celiac seems to fit. So, I have been gluten free for about 40 hours now, and I feel... -
I am brand new to celiac, so I can't say I know what I am talking about. But, while the list on the main page does not list any whiskeys, it does say that all distilled liquors are OK. I just moved back to the US from Ireland, and I can not imagine life without Irish whiskey. My favorite, Bushmills, says this on its web page: "Over the years, triple distillation...

ARCHIVED Question About Symptoms
maxdad replied to maxdad's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Tom: Well, this all came about when he was diagnosed less than a week ago, so he is not on the diet yet (still waiting for his biopsy), and I am not on it either. And I have not tracked what makes me feel ill since this is all so recent, although I did experiment a little bit the last few days and I seem to feel better without gluten. So, for example... -
ARCHIVED Question About Symptoms
maxdad posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello: I am sorry to bother you with what is likely a stupid question. My son Max, age 5, was diagnosed last week, by blood tests. I have been reading about the disease ever since, and I am starting to suspect that I might have it as well. I have various stomach-related symptoms, and doctors have been looking into numerous possibilities for about a year... -
ARCHIVED No Symptoms?
maxdad replied to maxdad's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks. I guess I was hoping to hear that, because he had no symptoms, it was possibly a mistake in the test. But realistically I know that isn't the case. Although I don't have the numbers yet the doctor said that in both of the major blood tests they use, he was very high. Biopsy to be done in a few weeks. Again, thanks. I am sure I will have many questions... -
Hi: I am new here, and a bit overwhelmed. My son Max was diagnosed today, based on blood tests. He is set up for a biopsy in a few weeks, but the doctor said that based on the results of two tests, he had no doubt that it was positive. Max has type I diabetes, so I knew this was a possibility but it is still a shock. But after reading through so many...
