    You know, my GI wasn't really all that specific when he went over my villi repopulating. I just suppose I figured that since i have virtually no villi left at all ( in the picture of the opening it's perfectly smooth with zero villi)that it would be at least a year or so before anything began to heal in my small intestine.
  2. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Well I hope you get the candida under control. I haven't been tested for that. Why no endoscopy? Insurance won't cover it?
  3. IveGotEffinCeliac
    When will you find out?
  4. IveGotEffinCeliac
    I feel so relieved to hear that other people experience the same brain fog. I'm really sorry that yours isn't much better. 9 months? Are your villi repopulating?
  5. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Is losing your appetite a common side effect of Celiac? I just want to eat and eat and eat and eat. Only thing is, I am losing weight rather than gaining.
  6. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you! I'll do just that.
  7. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you. I may have to look into another GI. The nurse or secretary at this office is very unhelpful. I got all my levels tested, and she won't tell me anything other than "your results look pretty normal." I'm going to physically drive up there and get a copy of my labs, then I'll have a starting point.
  8. IveGotEffinCeliac
    and thank you!
  9. IveGotEffinCeliac
    I'll definitely follow your progress! Hope the B and D make a huge difference for you.

    Wow, thank you for taking the time with that great reply. I studied up on nightshades, and it's sort of like dairy for me. If I have to give up on my salsa, and tomatoes.... Well, I just wouldn't ever give those up. Eliminating gluten is an amazingly difficult pill to swallow. For me personally, I have to draw the line somewhere. Thank you for the heads...
  11. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you. I've just accepted that sleep will always be a struggle. I can live with that, much easier than I can live with the way my body looks today compared to 2 years ago.

    I'm definitely not hating. There's just this sense of urgency to get myself back to my pre celiac days. My wife is expecting our first child in 8 weeks, and I don't want to be sick anymore when my son is born. The cross contamination is a real concern of mine. I eat free where I work, (I manage a department at a casino) but there's no definitive way...

    I will definitely look into this. Let me ask you this, isn't anemia one of the many different manifestations of celiac due to the inability to absorb iron? I've always had trouble falling asleep. Honestly, I wouldn't imagine it was at all related to my celiac. I've had sleep issues for close to 20 years, and just figured it was a part of life for me....
  14. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you very much. Although I'm not willing to accept my memory loss, because I know that it can be reversed, I'll definitely consider cross contamination as a possibility. Thank you so much for the input, and helping me make sure my writing also doesn't sound like gibberish.
  15. IveGotEffinCeliac
    So I've been strictly gluten free for a bit over a month now and a few things seem to be really improving. Along with this forum, that gives me hope. However, the two symptoms that were/are most concerning for me haven't changed at all. 1. The mental "brain fog" isn't getting any better, and my short term memory...... Forget about it, it doesn't exist...
  16. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you. I'm sure with 100% compliance to the gluten free lifestyle, we'll both feel better. At least I'm counting on that. Stay positive!
  17. IveGotEffinCeliac
    I'll find Nature's bounty fish oil. Thank you!
  18. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you! I've got the multi sorted out. I've been taking Nature's Plus Source of Life (iron free version) for the last 3 years. I'm not going out on a limb when I say this is the very best multi out there. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. And gluten free! I haven't even had a cold in well over two years. Any recommendations on a good fish oil suppliment...
  19. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you! I'm actually most worried about my overall brain function. Its a real dissapointment that my body has changed so dramatically over the last couple years but truthfully, I can't see a future for myself without total and complete restoration of my mind. Without that, my intestines and body don't mean much at all. I'm staying positive, and I...
  20. IveGotEffinCeliac
    Thank you both for responding. I'm sticking in there. Meeting with a nutritionist next week, and we'll see how things are in six months.
  21. IveGotEffinCeliac
    So its been two weeks since I was diagnosed. Actually, I didn't really freak out at all. I was overjoyed to find out that all my seemingly random symptoms could all be linked to one disease. Two weeks in to the gluten free life, and I'm just now starting to feel overwhelmed. I don't know if celiac has any effect on mental cognition, but mine is definitely...
