Medical Negligence?
nvsmom replied to maverickuk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Unfortunately, your story is pretty common. I think being told "it's all in your head" should be a symptom of celiac disease - it would be a popular one. I first saw the doctor about my "tummy aches" when I was 8 or so. I remember being told that I was just one of those people who gets a stomacah... -
Hunger has returned after three months gluten free
nvsmom replied to BarryC's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My appetite became pretty big after a couple of months too. I'm afraid I'm not sure why. I enjoyed it as much as I could though. -

When I first went gluten-free I lost about 10 lbs without doing a thing because of the inflammation departing. I got down to about 150lbs, which for a large framed 5'8" woman, isn't bad. Then about a year and a half ago I started gaining weight. I blamed it on the corticosteroids I had started...

Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
nvsmom replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm sorry you are going through this. It sounds as though he isn't being too willing to put himself in your shoes. Would he consider trying more things rather than just going out to eat for dates? Go play a sport, go for a walk, a movie, or just go for coffee? That's a good compromise. If... -
Question About Gliadin Iga Result
nvsmom replied to Galixie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know if that is entirely true. Some celiacs do not become super sick (bad symptoms) from celiac disease, yet some with NCGS may get life altering symptoms (like ataxia, neuropathies, arthritis). As far as I can tell, the main difference between those with NCGS and celiac disease is the... -
((hugs)) It's true, we often misdiagnose ourselves when we take responsibility for our own health. In the past 3 years, I thought I had lupus and acromegaly with a small brain tumor. Thankfully I was wrong, so I sort of understand your stress, to a lesser degree.... It's hard to wait. Not knowing...

If she is not eating anything while there, or walking through a flour dust cloud, then it is most likely not celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS. for which there is no test. That disease and sensitivity are triggered by consuming gluten, meaning it has to get inside and onto your...

I tend to like bacon and eggs, or coconut flour pancakes for breakfast, but I eat a lot of other foods too: trailmix (nuts, raisins, seeds, coconut, cacao), coconut yogurt, raw veggies with tzaziki of hunnus dip, pepperoni sticks, cheese, coconut cream in my coffee, smoothies and leftovers. I rarely...

Yep! A trauma to the body can trigger celiac disease, and we all know pg is a bit of a trauma! LOL

I get frustrated by those who are supposedly gluten-free but don't worry about the crumbs, or soy sauce, or eat the turkey stuffing because it looks so good. Those are the ones who get to me because they make it harder for people to take my needs seriously, since they don't take it seriously themselves...
