ARCHIVED Very Unusually Large Stools...
Nadia2009 replied to mindyandy420's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for answering. Well, when I started going 3 times I was happy until a friend of mine burst my bubble telling me it wasn't good. I think what your doctor says about no absorbing toxins and what Michelle is saying could both be true. In my case, this is actually very interesting. I have been looking to notice any digestive issue and I always thought... -
ARCHIVED Very Unusually Large Stools...
Nadia2009 replied to mindyandy420's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
What is the normal number of bowel movements? I have about 3 a day and a friend told me it wasn't normal. I do feel my food has a quick transit time now than it used to be. I also know that a hyper working thyroid gland makes you go to the washroom often but once that was cleared I didnt worry about my BM. Should I? I also have large stools for the amount... -
ARCHIVED Anybody Else Sensitve To Light
Nadia2009 replied to srthomas21's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have light sensitivity and also sunlight sensitivity but only since last year for the later. After a bad sinus infection that went on for weeks and after 2 months of migraines (doctors said it was all due to the sinuses), I started having sunlight sensitivity. Now, I grew up in Africa and sunlight was never a problem actually I craved sunlight but now I... -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac

ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No problem and sorry to hear you are having a life trauma. Hope things will be alright soon. Thank you but didn't get what you said as I am not familiar with all the test names. They are many IGAs which one are you talking about? On the 3 tests I did my IGA is 5 and the normal range says <20. -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sorry for the late answer. I just saw your message. No, I didn't have allergy testing done but I am going to do it now. I have an appointment with a naturopathic doctor and my doctor want me to see an allergist but he doesn't know anyone who does food allergies so I just decided I should see a naturopathic doctor. I have some other symptoms who aren... -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So, what's the complete celiac panel? Would the tTG complete my test or I need even more? Please let me know what are the different tests in a complete panel. My doctor doesn't know much about celiac and he was checking on his computer before he prescribed the tests but he is willing to listen. I am almost off gluten but it happens that I eat a little bit... -

ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No problem. I am going to see him on June 2nd and I will ask him a copy of the results. I forgot to do it the last time but he told me 2 out of the 3 tests were negative and the other one was higher. -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Thinks I Dont Have Celiac
Nadia2009 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone, He says my blood tests to check if I have celiac is unconclusive and also he doesn't think I have celiac since I have no other deficiency than vitamin D. I am about 60 for vit D and the optimum is in the range 75-100. I told him I actually take vit D in supplement but it is also the end of winter. He thinks my symptoms like feeling depressed... -

ARCHIVED My First Gluten Free Shopping
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Everything I bought is certified gluten free but it was the first time I really looked for gluten free ready food. It wasn't pleasant because I looked for real bread and I didn't find any plain bread. My guess is that the gluten free home made bread is a better solution. True most of us don't eat rye or barley but I actually would be so happy to hold on... -

ARCHIVED My First Gluten Free Shopping
Nadia2009 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello everyone, My first gluten free shopping went well except that I almost screamed after I saw some of the prices. I went there to find bread or something that looks like it. I was disappointed and worried about the taste but I was wrong...the one I tried is so delicious! They aren't plain white bread but seem nutritious full of raisins and other stuff... -
I found this discussion with our friend google. Didn't know I was coming back to the celiac.com forum. I have had cold hands and feet for a number of years but it is now getting really bad. I have to find an external source of heat to keep my feet warm and it hurt. Unless I have been walking and moving for the last 2 hours, I cannot just go to sleep like...

ARCHIVED Do You Think I Have celiac disease?
Nadia2009 replied to glutenfreejenny's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Jenny, -go off gluten if that's what you have to do to get your periods. That's way too important to your health. -go off gluten if that's what you have to do to get more focus and succeed in your education. ADD is another big issue and I have heard that ADD could be caused by gluten. I am new to this forum and to the whole celiac issue but I too... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance, Maybe Celiac D?
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you. Definitely lack of sun exposure is one of them. The Canadian winter has just ended and during winter I barely out for day time. I have also stopped drinking milk and I hate yogurt. Ok, maybe time to go back to milk now because I don't think I am getting enough vit D with the rest of my diet. I am going to eat gluten free but will not worry about... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance, Maybe Celiac D?
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well whatever squished is already in your body (mouth) so better to try getting rid of some. Now, getting back to celiac can a low vit D be a sign of having celiac disease. Vit B12 was checked and fine. I take many vitamine supplements vit C D B and cal-mag. I had my blood test done and I have a low vit D but no sign of celiac. -
ARCHIVED I Had My Test Done Today
Nadia2009 replied to Nadia2009's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the reminder. I am so stubborn I know. But I am not sure I have celiac though...my doctor's office called me on Friday and I missed the call but I think he may be sending me for the colonscopy. If I really have celiac I will go cold turkey otherwise I will give up gluten progressively. I already dont eat it as a main dish neither as bread to accompany... -

Thank you JW, My test came negative. But I am staying away from most gluten containing food. I still have a bit here and there. But I am not eating pasta, bread and pastries (oh I had half a croissant yesterday! A quiet cheater) I eat more veggies and I eat potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice as carbs. You are right there must a lot to eat but I... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance, Maybe Celiac D?

Thank you very much HNEM. I just saw your message and will check the link. Yes, doctors do miss stuff. Had my blood tests results. they came negative. My doctor prescribed a few more tests on the same day and the nurse at his office called me to say I have a Vit D deficiency only and I should be taking 800 units of vit D. But I actually take many vitamines...
