    ARCHIVED Weight Loss

    Mydnyt replied to BamBam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Seems logical to me... if your body hasn't been absorbing nutrients properly, it'd be much the same as people that don't eat very often - the body will store everything it can to draw on for energy later. Once you start providing energy on a regular basis, no need to store as much. Make sense?

    Something to do with the amount of time since you've been gluten-free? One of the girls I know is intolerant, but once in a while (ie. 8 months or so) she'll have some pizza or pasta or something while out with friends with minimal side effects. But if she does it a couple of times it hits her big time

    Fountain now do a gluten-free soy sauce - tastes great

    yeah. not much I miss really. bread I just haven't had, never been big on biscuits etc anyway Kind of good timing in that the local shops have suddenly decided to expand their range of gluten-free foods. Just gotta wonder if some of them really are... Bought some gluten-free corn & vege pasta, and my reaction to it was awful. Mind you, wasn't lasting...

    Hmm. how about another response... I was anywhere between a size 10 and 12, healthy weight for my height etc, but with an extra inch or two just from bloating. Having gone gluten-free, dropped the bloating, and now a size 9/10 (smallest I've been in my life), but hell of alot healthier. Essentially, I wasn't over or underweight, just carrying alot of ...

    He told you it can't be determined by a blood test?! essentially you're testing for the same thing as for celiac If the antibodies (IgG/IgA) indicate an intolerance to gluten, then how can raised levels of this NOT let you know?
  8. Mydnyt
    But I'm guessing that you don't need intestinal damage before this happens. having been in for many ultrasounds due to gyn issues, every time the doc comments on the small size of my spleen... never thought about it before, but perhaps there's an answer

    ARCHIVED What Type Of Doctor To See?

    Mydnyt replied to cstoup's topic in Doctors

    If your after a quick indication, asking your GP for the blood test may be an option, no? Whether or not you have elevated levels should give you a starting point. You could even try an elimination test whilst awaiting the results if you didn't want to wait.

    I'd just hope that they get themselves retested after being on gluten for a while and not wait for any serious symptoms. Yeah, a bit behind everyone sometimes... but I've been lucky. Only 5 yrs before a new GP figured this out, and the only other prob I have my old GP picked up straight away

    Thanks for that Gretchen Yes, he's been great!! Putting up with the "I can't eat that", and the mood that followed a caterers erm... mistake!? Yep. Has got me a little confused though. I'm not quite sure what it was testing. All it had on the result sheet was anti-IgA - 190. When I got home I did a search on the web, and found something that said...

    Figured I'd just work around the lack of pizza... Got a wood oven in the kitchen. I'll try making my own and a gluten-free'll bring the drinks
  13. Mydnyt
    You should try being dignosed over in Australia - only how many years behind? lol A thought on the diagnosis reversal though... is it possible that because they have been gluten-free for so long that they no longer have the symptoms on being tested (fairly logical if gluten-free), but that if they return to eating gluten it'll have to be reversed again...
  14. Mydnyt
    Nope, not in your head! That's about the same time it took me to be feeling great Unfortunately, caterers that don't know what they're cooking with have got me feeling pretty awful at the moment They spend 20 mins explaining how careful they were to do two of the meals gluten-free, and half an hour later I was telling em otherwise...

    Hi Kelly, I had a colonoscopy when they were trying to diagnose IBS - came back as no sign. My new doc did some blood tests which came back with some fairly extreme readings, and suggested I needed a endoscopy to check the small intestine. I mentioned the colonoscopy, and he said pretty much what you did - the biopsy needs to be taken from the upper end...

    Interesting concept, and one I'm not sure of. Some information I got from a nutritionist on gluten-free diets when I first started suggested buckwheat is ok. This kind of threw me, because I remember reading labels vigourously at the time, and I thought it had gluten ?!?! (will have to go back and check that one) Anyone else had this suggestion?
  17. Mydnyt
    Ah, so that's probly why I'm having little trouble. Seldom eat junk food - tho still have cravings for pizza Usually do my own cooking, except when away for work - I wonder how that'll go... Yeah, I guess I am lucky that I know straight away. Unfortunately it takes about 3 days to pass... motviation not to do it again
  18. Mydnyt
    So just for another question on blood work... Seems your blood tests are a little more detailed than mine was. It tested for anti-IgA, which when I went searching on the net had similar results to that stated below - would this be the transglutaminase Ab??? I had a reading off the scale at 190, but inconclusive/negative biopsy. Although keeping to the...
  19. Mydnyt
    Ah well, was beginning to think it was too easy, reading some of the problems some people are having... Good to know I've pretty much got it right but boy, do I know it when I don't... haha - does kinda rhyme when you say it in yr head
  20. Mydnyt
    Hey VegasVic Like many it seems, I was earlier diagnosed with IBS, but by my gyno following other problems. Lower right sided pain, left side, take yr pick... Mine was as a result of gyno issues - diagnosed with endometriosis. Extreme point pain, he put down to a ruptured cyst Wont go into it too much - if you want more info, let me know... Finally...

    Hi Jacque I'm in oz, just wrong side of the country (tho we're in a world on our own over here really ) Probably like you, this was the only site I could find that allowed people to get together like this - certainly nothing like this here Peta

    Hi All Newbe here. This place has been an interesting read, because I have been trying to find info on the difference between Gluten Intolerance & coeliac. Had been having trouble with constantly feeling bloated, lack of energy etc for years, and when I had a full checkup recently my GP ran some extra tests. Came back with the anti-IgA reading of...
