    Thanks Mitzi! Going off of dairy and casein was something I've also been considering - I've been trying to avoid the thought in my head because I LOVE my milk and cheeses, but it could be whats holding me back - especially if my thyroid tests come up clear. Two questions - how soon after you eliminated casein did you start to notice a weight loss? And...

    Thank you so much for the advice! I am going to the doctor this Thursday and am going to request a full thyroid panel so hopefully I should have results back by next week. I was definitely considering WW - my mom just met her goal weight and lost 40 pounds, so at least I have a knowledgeable person in the house. But its something that I think I'm going...

    I was diagnosed with celiac three weeks ago via routine blood work before a colonoscopy. Total shocker - I had no GI symptoms whatsoever but had been dealing with iron deficiency for years. I've been gluten-free since the diagnosis and have been sticking to fruits, veggies, grilled chicken, lean meat, with only some gluten substitutes. I've tried several...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac several weeks ago after a routine bloodwork was performed before a scheduled colonoscopy. I never had terrible GI symptoms but delt with some stomach cramps, pain, and constipation but all attributed it to eating something that didnt sit well with me. After being diagnosed I began reading all the other possible co-occurring symptoms...

    I understand that it seems redundant and pointless, however I'm curious to see how flattened my villi are. Since I dont have typical GI celiac symptoms (pain, D, nausea), I'm hoping that this will give me a better indication of when the onset was. Plus, my doctor wants to do a colonoscopy anyway due to other symptoms, so I figured I'd rather have it all...

    I don't want to give advice that will make you feel sick but I know myself and personally, I would want the blood test to confirm if the antibodies are present. Given the fact that I can be anxious at times already I would be scared to self-diagnose and and god forbid new symptoms pop up - I would question the diagnosis all over again. I think its at your...

    I completely feel what you're going through - I was diagnosed three weeks ago and have been diligently trying to remain gluten free but most of my diet prior to the DX was all gluten. I've had several mini breakdowns - especially when I realized that I wouldnt be able to eat all the wonderful food at my own wedding next year. I was most embarassed when...

    I was actually diagnosed in a weird way. I went to a GI doctor because I started having abdominal pains that lasted for three days. They were sending me in for a colonoscopy and had to do routine bloodwork before the procedure. I guess my doctor had also ordered a couple other labs as well and I got a call two days later from her stating that my TTG (antibody...

    I am not an expert and am very new to this community as I was only diagnosed with Celiac three weeks ago, but I started a gluten free diet as soon as I was diagnosed and definitely think I experienced some of those withdrawal symptoms. I felt pretty foggy and a bit out of it for about 3-4 days after I started the diet and I also had some bloating as well...
