Thanks for the replies. Went to the dr twice, still no answer. Not kidney or gallbladder related, he was thinking appendix or gastro. In any event, the pain and nausea were gone when I woke up this morning. I'm stumped. Maybe a 4 day bug? Guess I'll never know. Thanks again for replying, it was only after reading your theories that I made the doctor look...

Hi all Something strange has happened this week and I'm wondering whether it could be related to coeliac disease. I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago (after biopsy). My only symptom prior to being diagnosed was low iron. I've never experienced any GI symptoms or anything like that. Have been gluten free since diagnosis. For 3 days now I have had...

ARCHIVED How Many People Were Ok Before Diagnosis?
Jenni121 replied to concernedmamma's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The only symptom I had was iron deficiency anaemia. I've never had any GI troubles, skin issues, nothing. I was diagnosed following a biopsy about 2 weeks ago. Since going gluten free, I feel much worse. Im more tired than I was before (which I never thought possible), I'm cranky, irritable and just generally feel unwell. I have trouble getting going... -
Thanks for the replies. Thats really good advice, both of you. I guess the problem is, I dont get any symptoms, so have no way of knowing if I've been glutened. The only reason I was tested for coeliac disease was because I've been anaemic for a decade and the doctors could never figure out why. I'll have a chat to the coeliac society in my state...

I've read so much about the dangers of cross-contamination, and how important it is to use separate cutting boards, preparation surfaces in kitchens, utensils, etc. How do you all eat anywhere other than at home? If I go out for dinner, there's no way I can know whether the chef used a separate cutting board/toaster/etc for my meal or not. And what about...

ARCHIVED The Body Shop - Gluten Free
Jenni121 replied to lub2bmom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thats awesome, thank you so much for sharing! I love Body Shop products. I assume the ones we have here in Australia would be the same...? I cant see why not. -
Hi Gladiator, Here's an average day: Breakfast - gluten-free muesli with soy milk OR 2 pieces gluten-free toast with peanut butter and honey Lunch - Quinoa salad with chickpeas Dinner - Chicken and veggies/salad (or sometimes fish - I dont eat red meat, just chicken and fish). Snacks are fruit generally. I have seen a lot of gluten-free snacks...

Thanks for the reply. I've only been gluten free for 4 days (today is my 5th). I guess I wasnt expecting to get withdrawal symptoms, as I didnt think I ate much gluten beforehand. Maybe there's alot in 6 pieces of bread. I guess I ate little bits in other stuff as well. I must have. I'll try to be patient..!

Hi all, Prior to my coeliac diagnosis I ran (usually 10km, up to 25km on weekends) or worked out at the gym almost everyday. Since going gluten free my diet hasn't changed all that much. The biggest change has been bread - I used to eat 6 pieces a day, now I eat 2 pieces of gluten-free bread every second day. Since that minor change to my diet...

Hi all, So I've read a few topics on here now about other people not taking coeliac disease seriously. In the past week, I've had so many people comment on how lucky I am that it's not something more serious. I've also had people tell me I'm going a bit "crazy" and "obsessive" by buying a new toaster, etc. Apparently, the CC thing isn't widely understood...

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed
Jenni121 replied to Jenni121's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you so much for the replies. The links were great. Its starting to seem a bit easier now I have found lots of recipes! Grocery shopping took AGES. Reading labels is not easy! It was made easier by the iPhone app I downloaded though, its got a list of every ingredient and additive we can and cant have. So that helped. Im now into my... -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed
Jenni121 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi all, What an informative bunch you are! This site is proving to be a wealth of information. Unfortunately to the point where I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease yesterday and I'm a bit unsure what to do now. I thought I just had to avoid breads, cereals and pastas but it seems there are a thousand other nasties... -
ARCHIVED "probable Coeliac Disease"
Jenni121 replied to Jenni121's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks so much for the replies. I just got back from the Dr. Results are in... I've got celiac disease. Its very daunting to think there are things I'm never going to eat again, for the rest of my life. That's a long time! But you're both right, it will be worth it. Over I hop to the "post diagnosis" forum for some more advice and words... -
ARCHIVED "probable Coeliac Disease"
Jenni121 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi all, I think my life is about to change dramatically in the next few days. A couple of weeks ago I had a blood test to exclude coeliac disease, and the results came back overwhelmingly positive. I had my endoscopy yesterday, and the report says "probable coeliac disease". I am awaiting the results of the biopsy which should be back in a few...
