I'm glad to see a positive post about Nicole. I was beginning to doubt I'd ever see one. I'm newly diagnosed with celiac disease, and last month my doctor's office had Nicole call me to setup an appointment. Yesterday I finally left a voicemail with her office to cancel it. On the initial voicemail she left for me, she claimed to have "exciting and important...

ARCHIVED Best Prep For Colonoscopy?
WestyPDX replied to Texola's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

ARCHIVED Feeling Worse On gluten-free Diet
WestyPDX replied to finlayson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks very much for posting that link. I've printed it out to take with me to my doctor's appt. on Tuesday. I found this site by googling almost the exact title of this thread, in a final act of desperation. I'm at exactly 6 weeks since I started the GFD (for the third time in 10 years), and after reading so often how people are supposed to feel so much...
