ARCHIVED Cannot Control My Cheating...please Help.
MELINE replied to LadyCyclist87's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
forgot to tell you that if you keep on cheating you have a bigger risk for other autoimmune diseases. your autoimmune system will keep on trying to attack gluten and you body will be exposed to all other diseases. you don't wanna be like some of us who have a ton of other health issues and food intolerances. I was misdiagnosed for 12 years, so in my endoscopy... -
ARCHIVED Cannot Control My Cheating...please Help.
MELINE replied to LadyCyclist87's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
hello I can imagine what you are going through. It is really difficult when something is in our minds. We just can't get rid of the thought and we keep on doing the harmful habit whenever we are feeling stressed. Let me tell you something. I used to have a really really really bad and unhealthy habit that had to do with food. It was a kind of obsession... -
Do you have any problems with your eyes???? this is the most terrifying thing...... I 've read about the remission thing and I think it is something like the disease is "sleeping".....Please let me know about the eyes. It is really freaking me out.

I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow and he will gie me the treatment and I am ready to ask him about 1.000 questions.....He seems to be VERY informed and I am really lucky I found him. I visited him last week just...

......I didn't know that this disease can be healed....my doctor is very positive but never told me that it will one day go away.I am a very positive person but right now I am feeling a little bit confused. I don't know why I have to collect autoimmune diseases and I really don't want to add anyone more in my cv.....celiac seems so easy comparing to Graves...

ARCHIVED Am I Gluten Intolerant?
MELINE replied to hartwell's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am afraid that you will need to see a doctor.....I had the same acne problem and it was noe because of gluten but because of lactose intolerance (which was a side effect of celiac)......Maybe you are a celiac, maybe you are not. The symptoms you are describing are not so typical, but on the other hand many celiacs don't have symptoms at all. If you can... -
Hello and welcome I think that you are focusing on all the things you CAN'T eat and you are missing all the stuff that you CAN eat. Just to let you know that if you keep eating the same 2-3 meals every day you are not helping your villi to heal. not at all....you have to rotate meals and give your self all the needed vitamins. the repeating meals can lead...

hello celiac disease can cause imbalance in your hormones. Since I started my gluten-free diet, my period is coming every 15 days and my last one came in 35 days. But I never had a problem before. I am taking some herbs for this from an homeopathetic doctor but it dosn't seem to be helping at all. I am going tomorrow to visit an endocrinologist (is that...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free In Europe?
MELINE replied to goldkeeper's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Hi unfortunately no one has ever heard of celiac disease in Greece....the rate here is really low, it is the lowest in europe (i' ve read that it is 1 in 11.000 people. I don't know if it is true) so there are no gluten-free restaurants. You can always try to order things like beef, potatoes, stuffed tomatos and rice that are gluten-free. I would not... -
Hello... You didn't tell us when he is going to have his scope...if it is scheduled for the next week for example, then I guess he will not have a problem. There is an article (unfortunately I am not at home and I can't send it to you) that says that the villy needs something like 3 months to look healed in the scope. Of course that depends on the damage...

Yes I know candidase, I've heard some good words about it (people say it works) but I can't find it in Athens. Any way I guess I'll run these stool tests first and then if there is actually a candida problem I'll go back to my olive leaf extract.... I just don't trust doctors any more...you know what I mean..... Did you experience dying off? I...
-
Is there any chance that you are eating hidden gluten??? Just an idea... If you are not, maybe you should check for IBS?? To tell you the truth it took me exaclty 3 weeks to have my energy back, but now I am gluten-free for almost 7 months and I still have nausea and other symptoms (but had my gluten accidents these 7 months....) Someone posted...

OMG.....I didn't know that there is a difference......I will tell my doc to give me some stool tests. THANX

ARCHIVED Gluten Sensitivity/leaky Gut
MELINE replied to jasonD2's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
EXACTLY my case Jason......I mean EXACTLY!!!!! Completely healthy until 18 years old and then one day woke up in pain (but I was taking antibiotics or 6 years....) But untill my 29 years it was ok. Now it just went out of control and finally I found out what was wrong. Yesterday I went to my new doc for the first time and I asked him "why now"? I mean... -
ARCHIVED Are These Symptoms?!
MELINE replied to XxXMoon-LxXx's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
.......zoning out means feeling exhausted??? (sorry - language problem). If that is what you are tying to say, then YES it is a celiac symptom and it is caused by gluten. Celiac is an autoimmune disease where the person cannot have gluten cause it destroys the villy. That is all I can tell you with my english. You will need to google it and find out more... -
ARCHIVED Scared Will I Recover 100%
MELINE replied to wolfee's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello and welcome!! Well I've been misdiagnosed for 12 years and after 7 months of gluten-free diet my villy looks great (I still have symptoms and I am not completely well but I've been glutened some times....) . There are members here that are misdiagnosed for 40 years and they are just fine now. I've never heard of that thing you are talking about... -
I think Betaine HCI is something everyone in this forum is taking and it seems it is helpful!!!!!!! I will check it out! thank you!!! Can I ask you something..? How did you get diagnosed for candida??? I have all the symptoms, I've been taking antibiotics since I was 11 years old and I've been eating HUGE amounts of sugars but doc said blood tests are...
-
yes you are right. What is good for me doesn't mean it is good for other people too. I've been to a nutritionist and she gave me a balanced diet so I get all the necessary ingredients but she cannot make me feel full. On tte contrary...She told me to eat smal meals 6-7 times a day, and I just can't do that. When I told her I am losing wait she said that it...
