    We have been on two Carnival cruises this year. The second after my diagnosis. We do not eat in the dining room we eat at the buffet. I talked to the chef and he told me the main meat dishes in the carvery are gluten free and of course they always have salads and veggies. This ship also had an Indian restaurant for lunch in which most of the fod was gluten...

    It could be the cocoa was manufactured in a facility that processes wheat. I was looking at the popular hot cocoa products at the grocery store and none of them are gluten-free. I figure I will have to make hot cocoa from scratch. Hope you find a solution.

    I was diagnosed by (TtG) IgA test in May by my neurologist, my results were also >100. She sent me to a gastroenterologist for confirmation. The gastro doctor had me take the genetic test for celiac which came back positive. I have heard that the test is expensive but my insurance covered the test. I was grateful not to have any other tests since I was...

    After being diagnosed with cancer and celiac disease in the same month I started watching nutrition documentaries on Netflix and doing research on the internet. After watching Forks Over Knives I considered vegetarianism but my instinct kept telling me that it just did not all add up humans have always eaten meat. Look at the Inuits, how many fruits and...

    Having celiac disease is not easy but it is probably the easiest autoimmune disease to have. You should visit Mark's Daily Apple.

    I was diagnosed in May and logically I was okay going gluten-free right away. The problem is when I realize I can no longer have something, like the other day I realized I could no longer have crab rangoons. Some things are harder than others but I do feel better. Just focus on the fact you will feel better soon. Have your vitamin levels checked also...

    Hi Ed, I was diagnosed with celiac disease May 21st. I was completely surprised because I have never had any gastrointestinal issues. So I have "silent celiac". It turns out that my symptoms are neurological. At the time I went to the Neurologist I was having dizziness every day, but over the last 5 years I noticed some aches and pains that I attributed...

    I was diagnosed May 21st. The only way I have lost weight was that I went on the paleo diet 2.5 weeks ago. I lost 5 lbs., but cheated this weekend because I went to a wedding and had some wine. I have been overweight since I was 12 with a few exceptions. Weight Watchers does work. I chose Paleo beacause I would have to eliminate dairy and soy, neither...

    ARCHIVED Feeling Low

    txgal748 replied to vbug8's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Definitely have your B12 and your vitamin D levels checked. A deficiency in both of these can affect your mood as well as cause other symptoms. Also, it is normal to have good and bad days. I went grocery shopping Saturday afternoon. Half way through my trip I decided it was not the best day to go to the grocery store since I was feeling sorry for myself...

    I was at Taco Cabana Sunday. I ordered the street tacos. I noticed they heat up the corn and flour tortillas on the same grill. Is this considered cross contamination? I still can't tell if I have ingested gluten accidentally. Thanks

    I believe I have had celiac disease since I was a child. When I was 9 I developed eczema. Of course it took 6 years to diagnose. During my teenage years I would go for a week at a time without sleeping and it did not even bother me. I have always been clumsy, running into door frames, car doors, and running into furniture. In the past few years I have...

    Thanks for all of the responses. I was just wondering when would be a good time to check my vitamin levels.
  13. txgal748
    1) Yes. Eczema as a child and neuro symptoms. 2) No. I love baked goods. Never had stomach problems.

    Thank You for your responses. I have read people become more sensitive the longer they are gluten free. The day I found out I have celiac disease I also found out I have low B12. The neurologist gave me a B12 shot. I felt a little strange that evening but the next morning I felt fantastic, the dull headache I have had for months was gone as well as the diziness...

    I went to my PCP in April because I was having some diziness every day. She ran blood work which showed I have low vitamin D. She sent me to a neurologist. The nuerologist ran $2,000 worth of blood work which came back low B12 and an IGA of 101. She told me I have pernicious anemia and Celiac disease. I quit ingesting gluten May 21st. I am sure I have...

    Hi! Amie, My neurologist told me I have Celiac disease May 21st because my IgA was 101. The gastroenterologist decided on a celiac panel to check for the celiac genes. Anyhow, fortunately I am a Mexican. Traditional Mexican food uses very little flour. Flour tortillas are more of a modern Mexican food. As previous people have posted cooking meals...

    Thank You! Ladies.

    My neurologist recently told me I have celiac disease because my IgA was 101 (normal range 0-18). I have not had any meals with gluten since 5/21. Do I need to get rid of all my makeup, lotions, and shampoos? I went to a gastroenterologist yesterday and I am having a celiac panel test done to see if I have the celiac genes. The only differences I have...

    MY BLOODWORK CAME BACK AS FOLLOWS: GLIADIN IgG/IgA PROG, EIA DEAMIDATED GLIADIN ABs, IgA: 101 DOES THIS CONFIRM CELIAC?
