    I did the other day But the place I got it from has been around for ages and seems to understand about CC and making sure the cakes are 100 % gluten-free

    I have read many things about celiac disease and depression being connected . Can anyone recommend the best ways to try and deal with depression ? I have seen a counselor , I did 12 sessions and it seemed to help a little but after my sessions stopped I became worse again. My doctor told me I was depressed and very anxious but didn't give me any advice...

    Once at a friends house they were non Celiac . He said he used to smell toast with butter sometimes in the morning . He was 100 % sure it his house was haunted. It freaked me out going there .

    I hate them. I have recently come across disrespectfull people though facebook and google I just read on facebook how some chef cooked Gluten Free on a BBC tv program in the uk and said he is Celiac but every 3 months he has a 2 week break where he eats as much GLUTEN as possible it's messed up . Why do people do stupid things like this ? The public must...

    I think it was actually a rheumatologist who did most of the AS testing , I was seeing the back specialst and rheumatologist at the same time. I than saw the same rheumatologist in 2008 who did the Lupus tests. I just found it strange I tested positive for AS but the doctor/rheumatologist didn't think I had it , I didn't know that was possible. Maybe because...

    Hi Thanks for the reply. Thanks for the advice , i'm 99.9 % I don't eat any gluten but I will have to triple check everything and see if i'm missing something. Sorry to hear you were diagnosed with autoimmune thyroidism and connective tissue disease. When I was 1st getting tests for my back problems Ankylosing spondylitis Autoimmune disease was mentioned...

    Thanks for the reply I did think I had another intolerance , I have seen a dietian a few times since last september and have done 2 or 3 food and symptom diary . He can't find anything that could be causing me problems and doesn't think I have an intolerance. We did discuss diary and I have to cut diary out for a week. I had tonsiltis a few weeks ago and...

    Thanks for the reply I have no idea if my Vitamin D was tested but most probably it wasn't. I was only 14 or maybe 15 when diagnosed and can't really remember lol all I remember was the doctor telling me I was celiac and I straight away chucked the sweets I had been eating in the waiting room in the bin because they weren't gluten-free lol. I want to ask...

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003 and have stuck to the gluten free diet 110 % since day 1 . I remember my stomach problems improved a lot , I just had the odd stomach pain every now and again. Than in 2005 I got back problems which I still have now and I started getting new stomach pains in 2008 and they still haven't got better. I have also had...

    Yeh it's annoying. Another annoying thing about restaurant's 1 time while I was at a party at a restaurant I was talking to 1 of the chefs and was saying I was a celiac etc and he started going on about how celiac's were the bane of his life. I'm very unintelligent and didn't know what bane of my life meant at the time. Otherwise I would have been really...

    Thanks for the info the links are very useful

    Thanks. Would the Barium meal show inflammation in the small intestine if there was any ? Also I have read online Barium can set like concrete in the stomach is that true. Last thing was I heard Barium can make stomach problems worse and cause other problems to the body is that right ? Thanks again
  15. tennisman
    Cool , shame it doesn't work for Barium . Are you a doctor ? Also is it ok if I ask you a few questions about Barium ?
  16. tennisman
    Open Original Shared Link This is where I read about the Milk instead of Barium. It sounds interesting.
  17. tennisman
    I'm not sure really , my appointment letter just says Barium meal and ft. My doctor said the test would look at my small intestines. He said I need to clean my bowels out for the test , on my letter it says I need to take moviprep at 4pm and am only allowed to drink water for the rest of the day. Thanks for the advice on clothing. Thanks for explaining how...
  18. tennisman
    After posting my original message I read on a few different websites that the test can be done with milk instead of Barium does anyone know if that is right ?
  19. tennisman
    Thanks for the info and advice 1 website I read said they gave you a muscle injection to relax the stomach , so i'm glad to hear there were no needles . I don't mind needles but i'm glad they are not needed for the test
  20. tennisman
    I'm not sure what a CT scan is lol , my letter just says x-rays and it takes a few hours , it sounds like similar test especially the awful drink part.
  21. tennisman
    Sorry to hear you had a bad test. The drink sounds really bad.
  22. tennisman
    Did your doc find anything ? That's good the drink is gluten-free . I'm glad it was a good test for you. Thanks for the info
  23. tennisman
    Thanks for the advice I received the prep in the post today it's called moviprep . I will have to try contacting the people who make moviprep. Thanks
  24. tennisman
    Not really he just said we will look at your stomach with an x-ray this was at the start of the appointment. Near the end he said I have similar symptoms to Crohn's and Colitis maybe that is what the test is for. I have been having stomach pain for almost 3 years now doctors say it's not caused by celiac disease. Last year they did an endoscopy just to have...

    After being diagnosed with celiac disease I noticed I got more colds / viruses and they lasted a lot longer. In 2009 my Vitamin D levels were very low and I started taking Vitamin D tablets which have helped stopping colds as I haven't had a cold for a year. You should look into Vitamin D tablets if you don't already take them.
