    Thank you for posting ! I am reading everything and anything that I can about this disease - (I'm newly diagnosed)... Thanks to other posts I bought Wheat Free, Worry Free....by Danna Korn and Shelly Case's gluten-free Diet: Comprehensive Resource Guide. I've read about 1/2 of Danna Korns book and think it's great - she writes in a way that makes...

    Hi - I'm a newbie - just recently diagnosed. I agree that the depression/mood symptoms that I found others were experiencing were a surprise to me. It made me feel so much better about myself - because I have been dealing with depression/moodiness for some time. It's so much easier to know and understand that the physical problems are real and related...

    ARCHIVED Doctors?

    marycubs replied to blueshift's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi - I also was disappointed in the way two of my doctors were so quick to label it IBS and then just say 'deal with it'. As my health got worse I investigated the web and self diagnosed myself and did find a GI that knew of the disease and did a biopsy to confirm. I've decided to try to educate people I know about celiac disease. (I've labeled myself...

    Gapspan - this is the first I've seen on the clicking/popping jaw... I have been dealing with that for a few years too. Is this something related to celiac ?? I'm a newbie (just officially diagnosed last week) - do you have any information on how this is connected ? ( I also have clicking in my knee - but just thought that was normal wear & tear)...

    I was first diagnosed with IBS - and now a confirmed celiac disease. My first doctor didn't even know about celiac disease. Last year I lost 20 lbs in a few months, then gained back weight in a month, now am losing again. I also felt very "full" after eating a small portion of food..and I bloated. I did have the frequent bowels movements - but from what...

    Hi Berneses- I think you are the first one that I see suffered from night sweats... I also was having that experience as well as other symptoms - I wondered if that was just me or celiac. Mary

    Hi - I just wanted to add that I was 'lucky' to be diagnosed after only a two year period of symptoms. However, after two years of being in poor health and searching and being told by a few doctors that my problems were emotional, I was at my wits end. I can not imagine the pain and the emotions that you folks who dealt with this for years and years...

    Thank you - I found the thread. I guess I also thought a nutritionist may be able to assist me in the amount of additional vitamins/minerals I could take to help me feel better quicker.

    Hi all- I wonder if most of you found it helpful to go to a nutritionist / dietician after being diagnosed with Celiac ? I had a friend recommend one - and wonder if it is necessary or can I just find out the necessary information on this site and other web sites ? My background: I recently received a confirmed diagnosis of having Celiac Disease...

    Thanks for the replies I just heard my results from the endoscopy - and I am now confirmed with celiac disease. I'll have to read and learn to be gluten-free and I hope for better health in the near future ! Mary

    Hi - I am rather new to this board - have not yet been 'officially' diagnosed with celiac disease; had my endoscopy/biopsy last week and am waiting for the results. However, I believe that celiac disease is the correct diagnosis, based on my blood tests, my symptoms, etc. I am still very much in the learning phase !! My question: from reading...

    Hi again Yes, I have had symptoms for about the last 2 years. I have bloating, abdominal pain, gas, a change in my bowels - that seem to fit celiac. Also anemia, fatigue, headaches and I would say depression - or feeling pretty blah. The first few doctors labeled it as IBS (I had a colonoscopy that came out with no physical problems)..but I never...

    Hi - I'm one of the newbies... I had an endoscopy yesterday and the Dr. won't be able to tell me the results of my biopsy for a few days. But he did note two things from the endoscopy - one is that I had a scalloped duodenum ? I think that is an indicator of celiac ? The other is that I have an indication of Gastroparesis, a disorder where the stomach...

    Thank you for your responses ! I hope to have a diagnosis soon and then may be able to go gluten-free and hopefully have less fatigue.

    Hi all - I'm new to this site but have read many helpful posts over the last few days. I'm glad to have found this site ! I have been having digestive problems (bloating, abdominal pain, change in bowels) for about a year and 1/2 as well as anemia, fatigue, headaches, low level depression. I was 'diagnosed' after a colonscopy as IBS, and my doctor...
