About Me
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in November 2009 when my gastroenterologist just happened to take it upon himself to give me an endoscopy after he finished with my colonoscopy. Up until that time no one could figure out why I was so sick and not getting better.
I call myself financialman because I have spent the last 30+ years in the financial services industry. The best way to get to know who I am is to visit my website at www.insimplelanguage.com.
Joining this forum is definitely one of the best things I have done to help with my Celiac lifestyle. I am hoping to complete my Celiac book within the next year to help other people get past some of the problems we encounter when we are diagnosed with Celiac disease.

ARCHIVED Celiac In Different Languages, Japanese?
Financialman replied to Ruth Strify's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It's really impressive to see how people on this forum extend a helping hand. This is what keeps me coming back. -
I can believe this story because my gastroenterologist didn't have a clue about Celiac disease and really discovered it by accident. In follow up conversations I new more then he did. This seems to be the norm. Medical schools do not give much credence to many of the autoimmune diseases that seem to be so common like Celiac disease: 1 person out of 13...

ARCHIVED Other Issues - Where To Start?
Financialman replied to Joni63's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
My gastroenterologist finally figured out what was wrong with me however it was by accident. I was only diagnosed in November of 2009 but I have discovered that most doctors don't have a clue about Celiac disease. As Wolicki said most Celiac's have figured out for themselves. Then we had it confirmed by a "medical professional". Have you been tested for... -
Hello over50, As I am sure you have noticed nothing in the gluten free world is inexpensive. I buy alot of my nuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios at Aldi's which seems to have the best prices. Sorry but I am not familiar with what's available in Canada.

ARCHIVED Guess I Should Have Started In Here!
Financialman replied to NancyL's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Welcome to the forum Nancy. You are definitely in the right place for answers. -
Keep in mind that Celiac Disease is an inherited autoimmune disease. If other people in your family have an symptoms similar to what your husband had before he was diagnosed then they should be tested. The problem with the testing is that unless the doctor actually looks inside the small intestine, endoscopy, the other tests are not conclusive proof that...

ARCHIVED To All Our Guests....
Financialman replied to Lisa's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks for the response Jerseyangel and your friends psawyer and kareng. Not to ignore psawyer (4,000+ posts is also a lot) but kareng has over 3,000 posts in little over a year which is also amazing. What's your story? -
I am a financial writer, speaker, and author and it seems like one of the few men on this forum. I also teach financial topics in various colleges and universities near where I currently live in Southern Indiana. Previous careers included US Treasury Dept., tax accountant, insurance sales manager, stockbroker. Just about anything financially related....

If a Celiac continues to eat gluten, the gluten will do permenant damage to the small intestine which in turn could lead to cancer. Everyone is different but I can't see how the abdominal pain is going to get any better not considering the damage that is being done. You really need to think about this.

In my first year of being gluten free I felt like hell. Tired, nausea the usual stuff. I got rid of the tired feeling by exercising more, taking supplements, and especially vitamin b-12, shots or drops. Once my gut and I adjusted to each other things have improved immensely. Check with your doctor and see what can be down. These things may not work for...

ARCHIVED Anyone In Il With Celiacs.
Financialman replied to kbracing's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi kbracing, I currently live in Indiana but does it really matter where we live? There is a tremendous amount of support and information on this forum as you will see if you just ask. Your new lifestyle, not diet, is a difficult thing to adjust to but not impossible. Once you get past the foods that you can't eat, and you will, you will experience... -
I fight with nausea just about every day also. The only thing that has been helping me is "crystalized ginger" which I buy at the local health food store. Medical marijuana is supposedly the best thing for nausea but I have never tried it. You really should talk with your doctor and insist they listen to you. Be diplomatic but aggressive with your doctor...
