ARCHIVED Cc: How Careful Must You Be?
celiac1 replied to celiac1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks so much for all of your replies. So I guess you do have to be this careful, huh? Kind of makes me feel like a bit of a freak-of-nature though. I really don't want to alarm my son by insisting he eat gluten-free as well - it would be hard with his training schedule and dietary requirements. He eats the rice pasta when I make it, but it doesn't seem... -
ARCHIVED Cc: How Careful Must You Be?
celiac1 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello to all. I have been reading your posts for a number of months, and I wanted to ask a few questions ... I was diagnosed in December and have been gluten-free since, although with numerous mistakes along the way due to sheer ignorance. My recovery is very slow and I still feel extremely poor. When I posted once before many of you had pointed to CC... -
ARCHIVED Weak Positive, gluten-free For 2 Months, Getting Worse?
celiac1 replied to celiac1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The idea about the fresh whole food is great. But that's all I eat. Used to do the odd bit of cup-o-soup or something, but other than that it's been fresh or cooked veggies, and back in the better days pasta or bread. No added fats. And no dairy cause I finally figured out it was causing problems (that's what triggered the celiac test by the doc). And when... -

Thank you all very much - as I've read many of the topics I marvel at how kind everyone is to share their time and knowledge. In answer to a couple of questions, yes I am still using the same pans. Haven't checked shampoo etc. But then again, how much gluten could you possibly ingest by using the wrong shampoo? or am I being rather naive? And yeah... -
ARCHIVED Weak Positive, gluten-free For 2 Months, Getting Worse?

Thanks very much for your reply. I think the doc's idea was to see if the antibody level was back down to well below a positive result with the re-testing after being gluten-free. He said that would then confirm that gluten was a problem. He gave me the option of doing that or doing the biopsy because the result was only 'weak-positive". And yeah, the... -

Hello to you all. Wondering if you could offer advice. I tested 'weak positive' in Nov. (antibodies 10 and up considered celiac, mine were 9.8). Doc asked if I wanted an endoscopy or to try going gluten-free for 3 mos and re-test. So I'm doing the gluten-free route, but now feel worse than ever. Tummy is now so big that I'm embarrassed to leave the house...
