  1. Thanks for the support. Here is one clever tip from a friend of mine who also has celiac disease that I will pass on. If he really wants to eat in a restaurant, he goes for breakfast or lunch, right when they open. He makes sure to be the first person through the door. This way, he can count on things being clean. Still not 100%, and he does not eat out often...
  2. Wow, Alika. That sounds rough! So, you were having the liver problem diagnosed at the same time you found out you have celiac? Or did the celiac panel come back negative? What kind of detox diet are you on? I am on one too. I can eat: rice, quinoa, amaranth, chicken, fish, vegetables (no corn or beans), fruit, potatoes, chick peas, lentils, olive oil,...
  3. Thank you for the tips and encouragement. I am feeling slightly less bummed.
  4. Thanks for understanding. :-) I really hope I feel amazingly fantastically healthy and full of vitality soon cause I think it will make it easier for me to accept the losses. Right now I am just still sick, AND on this super restrictive diet (Dr recommended a healing diet that is basically just rice, veggies, fruit, chicken and fish.)and I'm getting rid...
  5. Thanks. Yes, I am probably not going to have the biopsy at this point, unless the GI feels its really important and wants to schedule it sooner. I really don't think my body can handle another month of eating gluten as it is impairing my liver function. And while I expect the gluten-free diet will help eventually, after a week my liver function levels are...
  6. I just got diagnosed yesterday because of a positive blood test. I have already been on a gluten-free diet for a week, but I don't feel dramatically better yet. And I know I should be happy cause we found what is making me sick, and its treatable and its not fatal, but I am feeling incredibly depressed and disappointed about my future right now. I am sad...
  7. Well, I think I am not going to eat gluten after all. I am really worried about making myself sicker in the weeks leading up to my endo appointment. My MD called the GI to ask his advice. I am hoping he will decide to either move my appt up or just skip it and maybe use genetic testing or something to confirm the celiac. But I have felt sooo bad and I can...

    ARCHIVED Bilirubin"s Are Climbing?

    I don't know if its normal, but I just got diagnosed with celiac through a blood test. I did not have the classical celiac symptoms. I had malaise, fatigue, infections, nausea and vomiting. The fist thing that showed up abnormal was bilirubin in my urine. My doctor ran the blood work for liver function and found it impaired. After that, she looked at a number...
  10. Thanks, guys. Also, is there anyone else out there who has experienced primarily liver stuff with their Celiac? I want to understand more about how Celiac affects the liver.
  11. Hi. Here is a summary of my journey thus far: For the past 6 months I have had a lot of infections. For the past 2 months, I have been nauseous, not eating well, losing weight. I thought it was nerves at first. I started vomiting occasionally. Not getting better. Super fatigued, achy...getting worse. No bowel symptoms, though. I went to the doctor...
