    Hi, It may be a bit overwheming at first but it will get easier. I was dignosed in April and am still learning. I started with plain meat,fruits and veggies, rice and potatoes. Nothing processed. If you have a healthfood store nearby they will usually have some gluten free products. Energ-E makes a great granola bar and there is also gluten-free breads...

    Ttg is one one of the antibodies specific for celiac disease. If you have a celiac panel done you need to make sure that your Ttg level is checked. It is an indicator for intestinal damage. Sue

    This was my first symptom!! I had neuropathy in my left hand and my feet and legs would tingle. I have been gluten-free for 14 weeks and it is not gone but MUCH better. I think only time will tell. My doctor did not put it with celiac disease. I found a message board on the internet talking about it and insisted I get tested. She was very surprised when...

    ARCHIVED Vision Problems

    SueC replied to mouse's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    my vision in my left eye has become very blurry in the last few months. I am unsure if it is celiac disease related...no docs believe it is, but no other cause can be found. I've seen optomatrists, an opthamologist and neurologist..... I also see flashing lights occasionally in my peripheral vision which move along my lower lid. Maybe migraine (but...

    I was about to color those pesky gray hairs that keep appearing and thought I should check before I do. I don't see any questionalbe ingredients but.... Anyone have trouble with this? Sue

    Hi Shannon, I don't think an overnight fast would effect the celiac panel. As long as she is not on a gluten-free diet your results should be accurate. Sue

    If your mom has an autoimmune disease this alone may cause your ANA to be high. Alot of times it is high in family members who have a family history of autoimmune diseases. Your bone density test will show if your bones are thin and if they are this is definately caused by celiac disease. Sue

    Hi Annie, I also have a high ANA and was sent to a rheumatologist. He tested for Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis as these diseases cause your ANA antibodies to be high....but he also told me that a positive ANA could mean nothing. I was found to have antibodies indicating Sjogrens syndrome so this may be the cause for my high ANA. All other tests came back...

    They also have a printed gluten-free menu in the restaurant but you need to ask for it. We had a great dinner there the other night. It was really eating out without worry. The staff all seemed very knowlegable. Sue

    Hi Lori, You sound very much like me. I was diagnosed with celiac in April by bloodwork and endoscopy. I have been gluten-free for 13 weeks and still get muscle pain and tingling sensations. I was tested for Lupus but I don't have it. It just may be my intestine taking a long time to heal. I had complete atrophy of villi according to my endoscopy. Definately...

    Does anyone know if sun bird seasonings are gluten-free? They are made with corn starch but also have colorings, maltodextrin, tapioca dextrin and citric acid. I am craving Chinese food but I'm not sure if I can use these. Thanks for any reply. Sue

    Hi Sonja, Sorry to hear about your very frustrating situation. Have you have testing done for any other autoimmune dieases, ie lupus, rheumatoid arthriris, thyroid problems ....??? I would request a complete blood panel as well as your hormone levels checked. What about your vitamin B 12 levels? I am guessing your blood work showed no anemia..... Make...

    I was just wondering if anyone has been tested for and/or diagnosed with sjogren's syndrome. My antibodies came back indicating that I may have this but I don't have symptoms...(dry eyes and mouth). I've read some articles that say it is related to celiac disease but I don't see much mentioned of it here. Anyone know??? Sue

    One a Day (all varities) is on the gluten-free medication list. Is this list not reliable?? Sue

    Does anyone still have floaters after being gluten-free for awhile?? I always thought this was normal..... and after 11 weeks gluten-free they still don't sink! Sue
