I see no one has replied but I still want to share my experience in case someone has a child in the same boat (especially with a family history of celiac disease/gluten intolerance). My daughter has been gluten-free for a week now and the difference in her is amazing. She is no longer a grouchy, irritable girl. She is happy and energetic and has not had a...

Hello all. I am a 45 year old woman diagnosed with celiac disease 4 years ago. I have been happily living gluten free (with the occasional accidental glutening). Recently (after many years of struggling) my 11 year old daughter had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. She and her older sister were screened for celiac disease but negative. They...

Early on with my diagnosis it didn't even occur to me to not take communion. Then as usual these boards clued me in to why I may not be feeling better yet. Communion was one of them. For a while I just went through the communion line and crossed my arms over my chest and received a blessing from the priest. Then I finally spoke with him. He told me our archdiocese...

I have enjoyed these boards for a few months now since I discovered them and I have gained valuable information. But honestly, this thread?? WHO CARES what Celiac is labeled as??? Why spend time worrying about it? Call it a disease, condition, intolerance, genetic difference, whatever makes you comfortable. I couldn't care less what it's called or considered...

My GI doc told me everything looked fine after my endoscopy. As you see in my signature my blood tests were split results. After the blood tests but before biopsy I did a 2 week trial on the diet and had great results. Then back on gluten for 6 weeks for biopsy. Results come back as blunted villi (remember doc told me everything was fine) and doc STILL not...

I agree 105 isn't that high, especially with no family history. My FIL has diabetes and my husbands last fasting blood sugar was 109 and his doctor isn't too concerned. He's just watching what he eats at this point. Do check in with your OB doc and make sure it isn't pregnancy induced hyerglycemia. I had it with my first baby but not til the 8th month. Still...

Way to go! Be sure to share recipes!

Yes that's true. What blood work was done? I've done lots of reading on this to get it clear in my head. We have 5 different immunoglobulins. IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. IgA and IgG are specific to celiac disease and if these are elevated then you have celiac disease. IgE is the one that would be elevated if you have wheat allergy and is the test they run...

Hello and welcome. Were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? celiac disease never goes away. It is not an allergy. Maybe you have a wheat allergy which is very different than celiac disease. For a celiac, the diet is a life long thing. Symptoms or not if you have be diagnosed with celiac disease you are doing harm to yourself by eating gluten. For me...

It's a regular thing for me if I get glutened. Search 'upper left abdominal pain' on this forum. It's been talked about a lot. My doc says it's inflamation of the small intestine causing the pain. Than why doesn't everyone get it? He says my spleen is fine. I did have a CT scan just today to make sure it's nothing else. Takes up to a week to go away when...

And even later yet. I did the search after my procedure. Trying to find out why I feel like crap right now and can't be off the toilet for more than 10 minutes . Maybe it's just normal after having that stuff go through you. Trying to flush with water. Anyone else have this after a CT scan with barium?

April I did the same thing this weekend and I feel stupid. I was at my brothers and his wifes family was all there for a family gathering. They're big hunters and really wanted me to try fresh venison. The meat was marinated in worchtershire (sp) sauce, spices and beer. Here we are all sitting around and the plate is passed to me and I took a piece and ate...

It will take time to get used to the new way of eating and you are doing a good thing by sticking to whole foods. Do make sure you are getting enough protein (I love bbq chicken, no sauce, just a little salt YUMM). Amy's gluten free cheese pizza is delicious and will fill your pizza craving. Make yourself a big juicy hamburger with your favorite fixins and...

Welcome to the site. It was just 2 months ago I was in your position. Newly diagnosed and wondering what to do. Doc wasn't much help. This site has an amazing amount of information. Spend time reading posts, pick up good books. Living Gluten Free for Dummies was a great book. Antibody titers can't determine how 'bad' your celiac disease is. There are people...

It could be casein or soy, except I bet Saturday wasn't the first time you've had those in your diet. I would wonder about the latte. Anyone know if the 'spice' in Pumpkin Pie Spice is gluten-free? Gosh I hope so, it isn't fall without my ps latte...
