About Me
about me, I am a fun loving person, I have 2 kiddos, Dean is 8, Amelia is 3.
I am 31 yrs old, I was Born in New Jersey, and now live in Alabama! I am married
to my Husband of 8 yrs, together for 15 years. I was always the kid asking for bread, rolls, etc...
I worked in sandwich shops, pizza, bagel shoppe for a really long time, hence the name bagelbabe is what the customers called me and my husband was bageldude ( he worked there too) .
I was diagnosed in 2007 the day before Thanksgiving with celiac disease, based on my high genetic risk factor, and iga defficency, Since that diagnosis, I have had 2 more visits to GI Drs. and more testing,
which came back normal Iga levels, no Iga defficency, which was the headlight factor for the initial diagnosis! So now after all of that, BTW, I am hypothyroid, and have been underweight most of my life, and have dysautonomia mvp syncope. So which came first the chicken or the egg senario? Hmmm
the world will never know?

bagelbabe replied to peacebwu's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would say, as my dr has said, with non specific test results indicating celiac disease, that If you feel better and see improvement with a gluten free diet, stick with it, other wise your looking at 6 months of a regular gluten filled diet do be able to really diagnose it with a biopsy and ati - body tests. which I am not going to go through , I know that... -
ARCHIVED I Truly Wonder If All The Worry About Food Is Worth It?
bagelbabe replied to peacebwu's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I Know, it gets really tiresome, Gluten free alone is overwhelming, but add dairy , corn etc... I suspect, that I have some other things dominoing from the celiac. One thing I am going to look into is some digestive enzymes? I would think that would help, But who knows what is in that? I feel your pain! I would rather not have to think about food anymore... -
