That's just the enlightenment I was going to get. I thought I was getting a lot of colds and they lasted longer that say if my husband caught it. So the Celiac can cause this. Such a bummer, huh?

I know Celiac disease is an "auto-immune" disease, but why? What's up with that? Does that mean I can have a hard time with infections or getting over colds too? I don't know what the auto-immune dangers are.

Yeah! Hurray for buckwheat! Right now, it's the only grain product I am always safe with. The buckwheat cereal you mentioned is a staple of mine when I need a good carb fix! Also, I've been able to bake with buckwheat flour. ( The cheapest way to get it is the 100% buckwheat pancake flour..not the "mix") I use buckwheat flour in place of wheat flour to make...

I've been gluten free for three months after my biopsy diagnosis, but still can't touch milk, soy or corn products. Any of them. I read that casien may be the culprit with me. Geeze! How bad can this get, anyway? I thought celiac was bad enough. Anyone know about the casien thing??? Help!!!

I'm in the in the initial healing process, and I know it's supposed to be hard. Been diagnosed by endoscopy biopsy. Eating non- gluten of course, bit still have WAY too much trouble reacting to many non-gluten foods. Such as fruit or anything sour...any starchy veggies...milk products. And can I please ever make a non-gluten baked good that I don't react...

I'm on fish and vegetables and buckwheat only right now. I can't even do rice ar any grains at all. No starches. No fruit. Almost no fats ( common dietician says) Lactose intolerant, of course. Absolutely no strong flavors of any kind. But then I'm just beginning the healing process and am grateful just to out of the IV clinic finally! I really wish I...

I can tolerate any really sweet wine but just a terrible reation to a dry wine. huh. Sour fruit does the same thing. What makes things sour anyway???

The first couple of healing months for me have been absolutely awful! I of course react to gluten, but aslo to so many foods that are non gluten. Trouble with fats ( dietician ays that's common) lactose intolerant. The only grain I can tolerate at all is buckwheat ( not really a grain but a flower) Natural and artificial flavorings absolutely throw me down...

Oh sure! That's a celiac thing. I get dizzyness, loss of balance, ringing in the ears, extreme irritability, disorentation,numbness and neuropathry in the extremities, and bone and joint pain all accompanied by extreme sleepiness and exhaustion. But you can't lay down cause it makes it worse. AAAUUGGHH!!! My reations always get better in sequence. First...

I can really relate!!! Isn't this "healing process" the most confusing anf frustrating pain in the butt??? AAUUGGHH!!! Good luck to us "healers" and especially God speed!!!

My IGA tests were inconclusive so my gasroenterologist told me to eat gluten foods for a week before blood testing again because being gluten free for even a couple of weeks will make the antibody test negative. I made it four days and I was DONE with that!! The IGA test came out negative so he decided to schedule the endoscopy biopsy. There is absolutely...

I had two IGA tests that came out normal, but then my endoscopy biopsy tissue test for villi damage showed quite a bit of "stubbing" and confirmed Celiac. My gastroenterologist ( which I chose for his expertise on this) said that there is such a thing as non- antibody Celiacs. That's why my reaction symptoms are mostly neurological instead of the stomach...

I've just stared my healing process, so I still get reactions lots of times unexpectedly for various reasons. The first thing I'll always get when I start a reaction is a buzz or hiss in the head. If it's a bad reaction this hiss can be very loud! Does anyone else get this? Also it's the last thing to go away..lasting often into the second day ( a bit less...

I was just diagnosed a month ago and have been gluten free of course, but there were still tons of other things I reacted to cause I still needed to heal, I guess. Trouble is, even though I've been gluten free for a month now, a lot of the things I could tolerate a month ago I react to now.....dairy, olive oil, rice, fruit...stuff I could eat before. Now...
