  1. Celiac Disease has been the biggest struggle of my life. I never had to go through a really big struggle at all in my life. I have had to delay my educational goals and other ambitions... I was always so sick. I was deathly ill ( I really used to love pasta& it was killing me) I couldn't walk for sometime, I had daily fainting spells, suffered...
  2. It is the celiac body type. That is a illustration from a celiac site.. You develop malnutrition, when your intestines are damaged and cannot absorb any nutrients. I develpoped malnutrition from celiac disease. I was eating 5 meals a day pre- diagnosis...., I developed nutritional defiences, anemia..( my body didn't absorb vitamins and minerals either...
  3. There is a classic celiac body type http://www.pigur.co.il/imgceliac/celiac.webp ( they tend to be extemely thin...skinny arms and legs and a bloated belly) People can be extremely thin and extremly healthy.. They have something in common... everyone is really sick.
  4. You and I are about the same in thinness issues I think it is bad for people who go undiagnosed for 10 years are more. Your body really is nutrionallly starved and damaged from the shaved down villi in your intestines... I am very thin, but I am trying my best to eat healthy and deal with the pain. I went undiagnosed for a lifetime it seems.. I am in...
  5. yes, it sucks.. Celiac.com was the only place... I could go to talk to people who were similar to me.. experiencing weight loss and intestinal pain.. I hope that.. I can come back at a later date. everyone here is great and so informed about everything.. I learned more here than I ever learned at hospitals or doctor's visits..
  6. no one ever believes you are sick....even, if you look sick... I don't care anymore what people think.... they can all go to hell. no one has the right to judge anyone off their sickness...
  7. I have been the victim of internet stalking recently.. I really love this forum, because u guys are the only ones that understand this illness. I really have to delete my account at this time. Hoe can I delete my account and all traces of me here.
  8. I am sorry to hear about your experience. It can be a difficult experience dealing with social situations. I really try to avoid those kind of situations.... It kinda makes you feel left out.
  9. I am planning to move to germany in the near future. I wanted to know, if anyone was based in berlin here.
  10. I had pain in the left side alot, until I was diagnosed by my physician and placed on the diet. It was a truefuly painful period of my life.
  11. hehehe.. I know... I am going to make a gluten free pizza this weekend.. The gluten free foods...don't taste the same as normal ones.. I have just decided.. I am going to have to stick to this diet for better or worse. All the suffering wasn't worth it in the end...
  12. Yes, I find myself extremely lethargic after ingesting gluten. I have noticed that gluten affects me worse now than before... I just never expected to feel comatose from ingesting wheat products.
  13. Hi, I wanted to say... that you may not have a mental disorder at all. Doctors do tend to think people have mental disorders, if they can't find what is wrong with you. You have to be strong and advocate for yourself.. Do internet research and never give up on you. Many people with celiac disease and other autoimmune diseases have more than one illness...
  14. My praternal grandmother died in her 30's from colon cancer. This autoimmune disease seems to have some devastating affects on you, if it goes untreated for too long. My biggest fear is dying from colon cancer... I worry about my weight loss associated with celiac disease constantly and what could happen... if, I don't get any better.
  15. Thanks for the advice. I have a problem with dairy, I think too... Dairy is the easiest milk for me at the moment.. I have worse issues with the other milks ( rice and soy). They really make me sick.I am eating lots of red meats... I eat steaks 1 or 2 times a week and fish is part of diet too.. I am done with baking anway, the last time.. I made gluten...
  16. I had problems with rice dream too... Soy milk isn't working out great for me either.... I guess u need to try another milk...
  17. I have been on the celiac diet less than 1 year now. I see so many people with celiac disease on television and etc. Everyone looks so healthy and they seem to be a great weight also. Someone people here seem to have gained weight with celiac disease and others lost weight. I have always been a skinny girl.. I am on the losing end. It is hard to maintain...
  18. Elizabeth looks very good... no one chooses to be bone thin... everyone hasn't mastered the celiac diet. Fat or skinny -- who cares.. It is about being happy in your own skin.
  19. Recently, someone treated me to a pizza and I ate 2 pieces of it pizza. I have celiac disease and I made a conscious decision to eat some pizza... I haven't had any in ages. After, ingesting the wheat contaminated product... I felt extremely tired and sick. I mean.. I felt really tired instantly.. I couldn't even keep my eyes open... My heart even seemed...
  20. I know many of you have latex allergies, like me. Heck, when I go to the hospital...I get the room to myself.. They try to make a special latex free room for people with latex allergies. How do u manage this in your personal life????
  21. I am taking tapazole for my hyperthyroidism issues and it really causes my throat to really hurt. I have checked my blood already with doctors. I don't have any infections at all. My fear is the tapazole is causing my throat to be very sore. Have any of you had issues with the sore throat. If so, Do you know any home treatments for the sore throat?????
  22. Sores and chapped lips = food allergies You have a delicate system. I used to get those canker sores in my mouth too.... I got them only from eating gluten and wheat products. I only would have 1 or 2. They went away almost immediately, when I started the gluten/wheat free diet. They can be a sign of a weak immune system as well. Normally, your doctor...
  23. I have a problem with all grains too. I only eat rice.. rice pasta, rice bread...you get the idea... When, I started eating gluten free..every grain irritated me immensely. Have you tried Millet??? I can't eat it, but lots of other people hear eat it. Maybe, it will go away in time for you...
