ARCHIVED Vegetarian & Celiac
Shellyann replied to xEmmaa.'s topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi. I am a vegetarian too and like you, do not have an actual confirmed diagnoses. My results were inconclusive, but I know that I am gluten and lactose intolerant. If I have the slightest miniscule amount of gluten I am sick for at least 12 hours. I am pretty new to this, but so far I have been eating a lot of fruit, vegetables, beans, quinoa, dried fruit... -
Hey everyone, I just had my endoscopy this afternoon. My mom told me that the doctor said everything looks normal. The nurse told us that usually she expects to see at least inflammation in the intestines for Celiac.

Hey all, I have my endoscopy in a week and a half and then will leave for Lake Tahoe the next day. I wanted to start a gluten-free diet right after my endoscopy, but I know that my family will be mostly eating out at restaurants. Does anyone know of restaurants in Tahoe with Gluten Free options? Thanks!

ARCHIVED Endoscopy Tuesday
Shellyann replied to dmurth01's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm in the "in-between boat" at the moment too! I have negative blood tests, but I have an IgA antibody deficiency that causes false negatives. I have my endoscopy in a week and a half, but I just wish it was today. I want to start the diet to see if it helps. I am so done with all this. My first week gluten-free will be on a vacation so I am totally thinking... -
