ARCHIVED Confused And Alittle Nervous About Biopsy
jewlesD posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello all, I have a question..I have been gluten free for about 3 months now, and feeling pretty good for the most part ( you all know after 3 months "learning experiences" can happen that tend to be unpleasant) anyways, I saw a GI doctor about 2 weeks ago who happens to also have celiac...kind of convenient. Anyways, I went to see a GI doctor b/c I need... -
thank you all for the response. I guess in my haste to feel justified I forgot that I have only been at this 3 months and my family is still adjusting as well. I should have spoken up and I think what a lot of you said...bring your own food...is a GREAT idea and something I will be starting today. someone above stated its hard to be the center of attention...

hello all, I had a situation come up today that for some reason just really made me upset. I have been gluten free for about 3 months now and actually doing pretty well for the most part. My family has been supportive for the most part too...Today I met my good friend and mother for a mall shopping trip. i had already eaten lunch before I left, and I guess...

ARCHIVED Hospital With Glutening?
jewlesD replied to CeliacAlli's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
well as someone who has just been to the hospital let me tell you! Now, not all hospitals are as nice as this one, and my reactions are more than just puking and d....I also pass out and occasionally start talking crazy ( which I never remember) but the hospital always immediately starts an IV to replenish the fluids, gives me something to stop the vomiting... -
Thank you for the input. My husband is pretty much willing to do whatever it takes to keep me outta the hospital so I will suggest some more practical things for him...as far as cooking, its pretty much all I do! I like to cook and have found some great recipes and things to try...its only been the times I have NOT done the cooking that I have gotten so sick...

I am so frustrated. I spent the the night in the ER ( for the 3rd time in 2 months) with uncontrollable vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain that was almost unbearable. Thankful they always fix me up good, but i am so frustrated that a mistake in my diet leads to such a violent reaction. This reaction is what led to a diagnosis for me, and I have been doing...

Thank you all so much for the advice and input. I have no clue how celiacs get by with out a great forum like this! Anyways, I have only been gluten free for 2 months, and I never thought about the fact that my insides might be damaged enough to not tolerate meat...I guess I am still understanding and coming to terms with how much damage was done to my intestines...
-
[Welda, thanks so much for the encouragement. It kinda stinks having such an issue with meat.I am going to try the HCL tabs and see if that helps at all. I know this sounds really dumb, but i feel like if I have to give up meat I really will be "sick" or not normal. going gluten free is one thing...its actually not that bad, but I feel like the more I have...

from what I have read it seems like a lot of people have different DH symptoms...I know that but I am still wondering if mine is DH or something else. I get tiny tiny bumps on my wrist that itch like crazy as well as bigger (almost ring worm looking things) on my arms. They are in clusters like 3 or 4 closer together. They are scaly and itch, but not all...
-
high fat meals are rough on my stomach. I usually do buy organic meats, but even then i get bad d from them. What exactly are HCL tabs and what do they help do? at this point I am willing to try anything...just sick of getting sick and truth be told I am a carnivore and it would be hard to give up meat!
-
hello all, I was hoping maybe someone can help me figure out whats going on, or has the same issue. I am having an awful time with meats...I am soooo careful about being gluten free and for the most part I am able to avoid being sick. I have replaced all my pots, tupperwear, etc..and I am very careful about cc. My days always start out great, and I mostly...

ARCHIVED New To Forum? Any Help Would Be Great.
jewlesD replied to Tyefromnj's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi Tye, I am sorry your not feeling well. I know the feeling! I understand so much about feeling like a hypochondriac in front of family....I suffered with random symptoms for years, as well as GI symptoms and like so many people never put the 2 together. anyways, I am 25 as well and seemed to be pretty healthy for the most part, except for chronic stomach... -
ARCHIVED Grrrr.......blood Test Results
jewlesD replied to ohsotired's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am so glad I found your post...I had NO idea there was more than one test for celiac....my doctor just did the same thing to me. Do any of you know if being on an antibiotic would interfere with results? looks like its back to the doctor for the 2 tests I never had. -
ARCHIVED Can Test Be Negative But Still Be Celiac?
jewlesD replied to jewlesD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yeah, I have a great doctor who is very supportive of the celiac diagnosis and is convinced it is 100% celiac since diet showed great improvement and lack of diet brings symptoms back real bad... I was just wondering if anyone else had a negative blood test, but still was diagnosed as celiac...and did they get the diagnosis only after a biopsy? I cant believe... -
ARCHIVED Wide Ranging And Changing Symptoms?
jewlesD replied to canuckchick's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi there! After going completely gluten free I found I was more sensitive to even small amounts of gluten, where as before I think i could have tolerated small amounts...the more you go gluten free the more you might react to smaller amounts. I usually have diarrhea after being glutened, but sometimes it comes in other ways, such as tiredness, headache and... -
ARCHIVED Bilirubin...?
jewlesD posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
did anyone who tested positive for celiac have high levels of bilirubin? does anyone know if the 2 are related in any way? thanks! -
ARCHIVED Can Test Be Negative But Still Be Celiac?
jewlesD posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
just curious...my test came back normal, but I have been living gluten free for awhile and feeling better then I have in years...when I got the test I was eating a gluten filled diet, so thats not the issue. my doctor says that it is celiac even though the test came back normal...has anyone else experienced this? -
ARCHIVED Trying To Keep My Cool
jewlesD replied to mirabella's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
hello Mirabella, I am so sorry for what I am sure is concern and worry for your daughter. What a circumstance. I happen to be a marriage and family therapist so I might be a little bias in my reply, but in my opinion I think your daughter needs to help her husband come to the conclusion that he must be on her side and stand up for her. after finances the... -
hello sawdust, I am sorry for your discomfort...its no fun I know. Anyways, one day with gluten free is not a good determination of whether its celiac or not...it takes many many days to feel a difference. I have been gluten free for about a month and just started to notice a difference, but other people it can take months...depends on how much healing needs...

Hello, I am from Lancaster Pa and was wondering if anyone around Lancaster knows if Salad works is gluten free...I would assume veggies and such, but what about the salad dressing? I know there are a handful of restaurants in Lancaster with gluten free menu's which has been very helpful to me, but I really enjoy salad works and just was curious if anyone...

thanks for the response! I am still learning what is and is not reactions due to celiac! You were all very helpful! -
ARCHIVED Codeine/hydrocodon Reactions
jewlesD replied to jewlesD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
yes, I do mean vomiting but vomiting until its out of my system many hours later, and once passing out from it. does anyone think it has to do with having celiac b/c of stomach issues already, or is it just a bad reaction that anyone can have? -
I was curious is anyone else has a violent reaction to codeine? I am diagnosed celiac and have such an awful reaction to anything with codeine or hydrocodon. Is this something anyone else has...is it normal to have bad reactions to pain medication? I dont need pain medication very often..maybe once a year, but almost all prescription pain meds. make me sick...
