ARCHIVED Celiac And Overweight
Christy-Latchford replied to sweeet-pea's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Believe me I am in the same boat as you! I have not yet been diagnosed with celiacs, but I am awaiting the appointment for my biopsy....I am currently 40lbs overweight and have tried EVERYTHING to loose weight (besides going gluten free, but I can't do that until after my biopsy). So just to let you know, you are most definatly not alone....One forum user... -

Me again... Thank you all so much...it is so nice to have so much support...My husband and my family try to be understanding, but none of them really know that much about it, so I think it sounds a lot more simple then it really is to them...Your meal suggestions and ideas are great!!!

ARCHIVED Having A Little Trouble...
Christy-Latchford posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, In waiting for my appointment with the gastroenterologist to have my biopsy I have been considering trying a gluten free diet...but the problem is my husband is a gluten. The thing I am having trouble with is what kinds of things can I cook or do, so that he doesn't have to change the things he likes to eat on account of me>?? Anyone have suggestions... -

ARCHIVED Not Really Sure...

Is this normal??? -
ARCHIVED Scared To Death Of A Biopsy/colonoscopy
Christy-Latchford replied to Cougar09's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well I can honestly say I am in the same boat, I am awaiting the appointment date of my own colonoscopy, and it freaks me out....The part about the tubes down the throat are a breeze, I can say from experience, when your asleep you don't even know the difference, both times I have had it done I didn't even know when I woke up that it happened, and here's... -
ARCHIVED Update On My Brother
Christy-Latchford replied to JerryK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's funny reading what you said about your brother's denial, it sounds all to familiar. I am currently awaiting the diagnosis that I feel is inevitable, but still like to try and "defy the odds". For instance last night I ate fries and a bagette sandwich for supper, and have barly left the bathroom since, but yet I still want to tell myself "maybe I have... -
ARCHIVED Does This Sound Familiar
Christy-Latchford posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, Over the past year or so the idea of Celiacs has been preseted to me as a possibility. I have had the following symptoms: cronic diarreha, severe joint/bone pain, stomach aches, fatigue, a slightly positive ANA test, and a lower than normal B12 test. Does this sound like it could be Celiacs?? I am booked to go and see a gastroenteroligist about... -
ARCHIVED Ana Tests
Christy-Latchford replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, My name is Christy, I have not been officially diagnosed with Celiac's as of yet, but am currently going through all of the tests. I was reading through this discussion about a Positive ANA test and having Celiacs and I totally agree that they are related. It has been suspected for quite some time that I have Celiacs and just recently my tests...
