You will learn (as you read more and more on this forum) that celiac disease can manifest itself in many different ways. Some people have what doctors consider the "typical symptoms", some people have very weird, seemingly unrelated symptoms, while some people have no symptoms at all. I didn't think I had many symptoms as I was slightly overweight and felt...

I am also a Type 1 diabetic and my blood sugars have been fine (I check it 6-8 times per day including first thing in the morning). My doctor seems to think it's just gluten cross-contamination from somewhere. I just got my blood drawn to test my Transglutaminase IgA again and should have the results by tomorrow.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in late June of this year through positive bloodwork and biopsy. After starting a gluten-free diet (completely gluten free kitchen), I started seeing my migraines go away immediately (within the first week) and digestive issues mostly normal within a few weeks. Everything was going well until the last few weeks. I started...

I can generally find something at any restaurant (even if it is just ordering a side salad and a baked...

I am currently a graduate student studying biology and will be interviewing for postdoctoral positions this fall. Usually, for post-doc interviews, prospective employers will fly you out and you'll spend a...

Thanks everyone for all of your replies! I will definitely try to get in touch with my endocrinologist. I have been to several doctors about these symptoms and went back through all of my old test results and TSH has always been above 3.5 (for about 2 years now since I was first tested) and seems to be getting a bit higher with each visit. None of my doctors...

I apologize in advance that this is long. I'm starting to think that I may have a Celiac's disease or gluten intolerance but not really sure if my symptoms may be the result of something else. I have been a Type 1 diabetic for over 16 years and have been vegetarian for about 13 years. My diabetes is very well controlled and I have no complications. I...
