Newly diagnosed/coeliac + eating disorder(tw)
swiftie-13 replied to swiftie-13's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had regular blood tests due to my ed, but it did not begin with a thiamine deficiency, rather it's thought to have been the result of trauma & other psychological causes! Definitely can be the case in some instances, but unfortunately, it's deeper for me😅🤣 -

This reply really made me realise that it's more the ED part of eating, rather than the gluten free part itself... so thanks for making me realise that! That's where the difficulty lies I believe, and going gluten-free has just amplified it. Got some things to work on i think...😅 -

Thanks for the response! That's why I don't really want gluten-free alternatives, as I can't see the point in consuming something that's not of any nutritional value. But I think it's important to challenge myself to those treats from time to time, or else it would be a very restrictive mindset to only eat whole and clean allllll the time! Guess that... -

Hi! TW - eating disorders, pls do not read if you will be affected or triggered at all (no numbers mentioned, just how complicated an ed and coeliac is together). So I finally got my biopsy results back last week, and am confirmed coeliac. I'm also at a halfway point in my eating disorder recovery (anorexia), as in kind of making good...

Likelihood of Positive biopsy?
swiftie-13 replied to swiftie-13's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, Thanks for the reply! To be fair, I've thought I had ibs for a few years, but it's just never been so constant or bad. I went for a blood test as i had just been super tired and had a lot more brain fog than usual. But I did mention my brothers diagnosis, so my GP recommended a coeliac test too. Did not expect it to come back positive... -
Hi! I had a positive ttg (70), and yesterday I got my gastroscopy/biopsy, so I'm just waiting for results! And I'm so anxious about it! Just really want confirmation that it's coeliac, as I would feel at a loss if it comes back negative... Do most people get a positive biopsy if they have had a positive blood result? I'm just wondering...
