    I have been on thyroid meds for about 15 years. Last year I was diagnosed a Celiac and have been on a gluten-free diet since. I had asked to be retested a few months back and they were able to reduce my dosage based on the results so I know it is improving for me.

    I so miss that romance. I'd take a pill in a heartbeat!!

    I actually did get a tattoo after my diagnoses. Some would question how relative it is but for me, since it was a colonoscopy that finally led to the diagnoses, it seemed to fit. I will let you figure out where I got it but it is a circle with the line through it in the middle is an arrow pointing down (to mean, exit only). Now of course it will be 9 years...

    So sorry to hear things haven't gotten better. As I was reading through all the positive feedback from other members I was thinking how tomorrow will be exactly 1 year and it has gotten better. I don't crave bread anymore and like you, that was a staple for me. I do have Udi's most days for lunch as I like sandwiches but no other bread. I have good days...

    I got a phone call on my birthday and was told I have Celiac disease. Not having a clue, as they were looking for why I was anemic and hadn't considered the 25+ years of IBS might be related, I asked "how do you spell that?". She told me how to spell it and that I was going to have to rid gluten from my diet so naturally my next question was "what is gluten...

    I have a sister who after testing negative to the antibodies started a gluten-free diet and feels great. She won't got in for further testing as the way she feels is proof enough. I'm with all the other responses, you are a Celiac and more testing isn't needed. I'm glad you're feeling better. My symptoms were very similar to yours and I spent years w...

    I thought I might but gee, I found enough really good gluten-free food that I haven't.

    I too must confess to this!

    At the grocery store last week I asked about Gluten-Free beer and the manager pointed me to Mike's Hard Lemonade Light and the packaging states it's gluten free. He said he asked the distributor and was told it's just the light that's Gluten-Free. I hadn't had any problems w/ the first few I drank but in the last 2 days, I had 2 each day and today my tummy...

    ARCHIVED I'm New

    angel9165 replied to smead78's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    That's pretty much how it went for me as well. It's been almost a year and I definitely feel better about it now. I have actually taught my GP a few things (and I certainly don't expect her to be a celiac expert, heck...my GI doc isn't) and we seem to be getting it all figured out. I told her how I had researched the affects on your thyroid so we tested...

    When diagnosed last fall w/ Celiac, my GI doc ordered B12 shots for me every other week for 6 months and now I go monthly. As far as my primary physician is concerned, this will be a forever thing for me...monthly B12 shots. Oddly, it was never mentioned that I should take a supplement. For me, I'd rather do the shot.

    I am less than a year into my diagnoses but I suffered for over 20 before I was properly diagnosed. I saw many doctors over those years and was always sent away with "IBS" and your tiredness is "normal". UGH! My little sister has had the same stomach issues but her initial testing was negative. I encouraged her to try the diet as she didn't really have...

    ARCHIVED Udi's Bread

    angel9165 replied to Lori2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Not sure what I'd do w/o my Udi's....it's my answer to the bread issue and I have sandwiches everyday for lunch. Hope it's not too bad for ya. If you don't have problems and want to purchase it again. There are coupons and it generally goes on sale every month or so (at our local grocery store's health market) so I stock up since you store it in the freezer...

    Biofeedback was a Godsend for me in learning to deal with my anxiety. It really does help!
  15. angel9165
    My little sister went gluten free a few months back (after testing negative and at my request to give me 2 months and see if it makes a difference). Last weekend while traveling, she ate a sandwich as she felt guilty about telling my sister-in-law (who prepared them) that she couldn't/shouldn't. Needless to say, she was sick the rest of the weekend. She...

    Make it in bulk by hand so you freeze servings. Chicken Alfredo was one of my most favorite dishes and I thought I'd have to give it up but I didn't. I found a really easy recipe for the sauce (half/half, cream cheese, parm. cheese and butter) so I make a big batch and freeze it in smaller containers. I then just make the noodles when I want some and reheat...

    What gets me the most is hearing "Oh, I wonder if that's what I have cuz I'm always bloated, etc?" Really, people??? What I always say is "if you suspect you may have intolerance to wheat, I suggest you see a GI doctor and if that's not possible, cut it completely out of your diet and if it makes a difference, you most likely do have an issue". At first...

    I've always trusted Dr. Oz and my friend watched one of his shows where he said envelopes should not be licked by Celiac patients. Will read the article. Guess nobody can be right all of the time.

    Never! I feel soooo much better now (diagnosed last year) that I would never cheat for fear I'd feel terrible again (I was initially diagnosed w/ IBS 20 years ago). Hopefully, she'll mature and decide to do what's best for her health (and life). You are a good person to care so much but unfortunately, that's not going to help until she starts to care that...

    This has been my experience as well...I'm very pleased.
  21. angel9165
    Same here...diagnosed shortly after we started dating and he's still here. He's been a Godsend actually. Hang in there...there's someone out there for you! And I do go out to eat...I stick to steak and a baked potato and have really good luck with that.

    Same here...biopsy was done to discover reason for anemia.
  23. angel9165
    I have purchased several baked goods from Open Original Shared Link with great success. I took (sneaked is more like it) some of their bread into the winery with me yesterday so that while my friends enjoyed the bread & cheese basket I could as well. Totally delicious and I believe they are strictly gluten-free so no worries about cc. And bless my...

    I've been gluten-free for almost a year and I still carry the list (several pages long) of what I can and can't eat. Mostly, I know now but there are times, I pull it out and make sure.
