  1. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I'm encouraged to tighten my gluten diet and be much more vigilant in the restaurant envrionment. I'm seeing a high correlation in the curve of my weight loss and the persistent incidents of getting glutened by contaminated foods at restr's. and the slow decline in my blood test results over the years. I have...
  2. Thanks Gemini. I need to clarify (seems like I get carried away explaining my history and forget the up-to-date issues.) I'm actually holding my own weight-wise now; have even gained 4 lbs since I've started being more "fanatic" about policing my restaurant food. Most all of my gluten poisoning came from there and I think I was in a revolving door with...
  3. I was diagnosed Celiac in Sep 2008 via endoscopy. Prior to that, in 2005, I was diagnosed with a Thymoma, a tumor of the Thymus gland which is also considered a complication of the auto-immune system. After two rounds of chemotherapy, the tumor was removed with no further complications. However, during 2006 - 2008, I began to develop intestinal distress and...
  4. Gemini, I'm responding to a rather old post, but it's because the subject matter is of great interest to me and I wanted to a better understanding of your views on Celiac Sprue and low Red and White Blood Counts. I was diagnosed Celiac in Sep 2008 via endoscopy. Prior to that, in 2005, I was diagnosed with a Thymoma, a tumor of the Thymus gland which...
  5. -Diagnosed Celiac 9-8-2008 at 65 yrs old: Endoscopy -Blood tests were negative.

    Lost 80 lbs in 4 yrs - mal-absorption & mal-nutrition 1/2 of it after diagnosis.

    Currently anemic - both White and Red Blood Counts are low.

  6. My bloodwork for Celiac was also negative (i.e, normal) but my endoscopy proved that I had Celiac disease, flattening of villi, etc. Bob
  7. Hi Jane, I'm rather new at Celiac.com as well, but I will reply. I sense your frustration with the lack of replies and I can relate. I have the gurgling sounds in my intestines, but it usually starts in my upper digestive tract(small intestines) and sounds like air and water gurgling in a water pipe. I now understand that my small intestine is reacting...
  8. Thought I would take time to contribute to this one since it has been a "journey of learning" for me as well. I've been diagnosed Celiac for four years (endoscopy), and most all of my "glutened" episodes have been from eating out - and there have been many; so many that four years from diagnosis, I lost 80 lbs and have recently become anemic, both red blood...
  9. Your post caught my eye. I was endo'd and diagnosed with Celiac Sprue in Sep 2008 after 1.5 years of diahrea and steady weight loss. Following that I've done my best to follow the Gluten Free Lifestyle. My problem is that I have continued weight loss and continue to be "slightly" anemic with low RBC, HGB, and enlarged average corpuscle volume (hope I...
