    I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last Fall...been gluten free since then. It seems like if I do get glutened, my reactions are getting worse. Is this typical...have I gotten even more sensitive? Any one else experience this? Also, would any of you share what your body experiences when you get glutened? I am so strict with my diet that I can...

    Thank you for all your replies...I find it interesting how many others with Celiac deal with many of the same issues. For the past month I have been taking 2 digestive enzymes with each meal(my dr recommended) & it seems to help. I still have a night about once a week or once every 2 weeks that I am up with that left side pain. My energy level...

    How many months/years post-diagnosis are you? Do you also have fatigue?

    Thanks for the replies...I appreciate the input as I piece this journey together. I guess something I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around is this...for 40 years of my life I felt pretty great, worked out regularly & ate anything. Now, 9 months ago, that all changed. I got really sick & found out I am Celiac. So, can other food intolerances...

    Does anyone deal with left side pain/pressure/bloated feeling? I am 9 months post-diagnosis & have had so many tests done. I am feeling so much better, but I still deal with this left side pain. It feels like there is something under my left ribs pushing up. I have gallbladder issues...HIDA scan showed it functioning at only 15%, but my doctor at...

    I just wanted to give a quick update on my gallbladder issue...a few weeks ago I did the HIDA scan & it was functioning at 15%. I just saw my dr at Mayo...we did a full abdomen ultra sound...no stones in gallbladder. He does not want to remove it...says the low-functioning is a result of the gallbladder not getting the signal from the small intestine...

    I may not be the best one to reply because I am 8 months since diagnosis & I still have some issues we are "figuring out". However, nausea was a big thing for me those first months...I was on Zofran for the nausea...which helped some, but I still struggled with it. I know that feeling of being desperate to try anything to help...soooo off to a chiropractor...

    Interesting! I am encouraged that perhaps this can all turn around!!! I see Dr. Murray June 15...only 2 weeks...I'm hoping we can get to the bottom of the gallbladder issue. I am down to eating pretty much rice, veggies, fruit, chicken & g.f.toast. I would take a bigger bum too if it made me feel better! I will let you know what happens...

    Interesting...Dr. Murray is my doctor also. I am going to see him within the next few weeks as I also have some unresolved issues...I last saw him in January. He wants to take a closer look at my gallbladder through ultrasound. He also prescribed digestive enzymes...I have to pick the prescription up today. So, are you feeling better? When you had...

    Thank you both...very interesting websites on gallbladder & Celiac. Very interesting, also, about both of your issues with gbladder. My Celiac doctor at Mayo called me late afternoon. I am going to go see him in a couple weeks(we live 4 hours from Mayo, so everything has to be planned out), so I will let you know what we find out. In my situation...

    I'm thankful for this sight as there are so many questions I have...has anyone had gallbladder issues? I have been fighting fatigue and this upper right pain since being diagnosed with Celiac last Fall. A CT of my gallbladder was done last Fall...no stones...BUT I still have this fatigue & constant "discomfort" on right side...my other intestinal issues...

    Thanks for all the input! The last post about describes my fatigue...at first I was bed ridden(my mom lived with me for 5 weeks as I went through testing & was losing insane amount of weight)...now I still nap once during the day just so I can make it through the evening when the kids are home from school & need me. When I look back over the...

    I'm 7 months post-diagnosis & still fighting a lot of fatigue. Had blood test a few weeks ago to check vitamin levels, thyroid...everything looks good. I have to drag myself through the day. How long before energy levels return?
  14. mommyof4
    Hi...very interesting post. Dr. Murray at Mayo is my doctor also...he's fabulous! I was just diagnosed last Fall by my local doctor but sent on to Dr. Murray at Mayo after 3 months. My bloodwork was negative but biopsy positive...well at least by that 3rd month. The local doctor accidently did the incorrect blood test & by the time it was redone at...

    Hi! I am 7 months post-diagnosis...I'm also 40. I am getting really sick the day or 2 before my cycle starts. Terrible pain in my left side & back...up most of the night. I had blood work done last week to check thyroid, vitamin levels...about 12 things. Everything is normal. Next week I am doing a "natural" test...urine & saliva to check...

    Please don't think I am completely ridicuous, but is it possible to get glutened baking non-g.f. items? I didn't really think of that. Like I mentioned, I am pretty new to all of this. I just assumed that if I didn't eat the item & if I kept baking items seperated, I would be ok. Very interesting. I will journal all of that too. I try to bake mostly...

    This is a very interesting question...my husband & I are in the middle of figuring this out ourselves right now. I was diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago. I got really sick & ended up spending 2 weeks at Mayo Clinic getting testing done...I am still in recovery mode, but improving. Because it is hereditary, we had our 4 children (ages 7-14) tested....

    Thank you for your replies. I was journaling food for a while...I have let that slack, but I will definately start again to see if there are any other food intolerances. I also appreciate the info about perimenopause...I really hadn't thought about that. Both my mom & sister had hysterectomy's, so I don't have any idea our family history with menopause...

    HI, I guess I just need some advice or perhaps encouragement from "seasoned" Celiacs. I was diagnosed with celiac disease 6 months ago...long story, but I was very sick, in the hospital, lost 22 lbs., weak & shaky for months. Anyways, when I look back over the past 6 months I can tell I am recovering...for that I am thankful. However, I still don...

    Thanks for both replies. My vitamin levels were checked a couple months ago...when I was first sick, but I actaully was thinking about having them rechecked as well as my thyroid. My doctor had mentioned that sometimes the thyroid gets a little messed up with such a severe change in the body. What a journey this is...
  21. mommyof4
    This is my first post to this sight...although I have been reading postings for the past 4 months...so bare with me on the details. I am grateful to have a place to learn & ask questions...especially as a newly diagnosed Celiac. Until 5 months ago I didn't even know what "Celiac Disease" was. I went from being a healthy(or I thought I was healthy)...
