My biopsy results did come back positive so I have been gluten-free for about 2-3 months (not long). Yes, I love corn thins.. I acutally have them for lunch today. They are great because they are high in fibre and can replace bread! I normally top mine with hommus, ham and tomatoes.. mmm. I am yet to find a corn tortilla that I like, do you know any...

WOW that is a big move! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. I think I am lucky to be in Australia as I have been discovering great gluten free foods... sometimes I think it would be a bit easier to live in the city (as there are more options). But Geraldton isn't too bad.. there are quite a few restaurants that cater Gluten-free that are great! And Woolworths...

I have been really good this week and I really appreciate the advice. I have been putting in reminders to my email and leaving post its about so I can remember stuff.. it seems to be working as I haven't forgotten anything so far... at least that I know of!I I disinfected my pantry and removed the bread and wheat flour (finally) - have relocated...

Yes I will need to do this. I really need the extra support!

I was def in too much of a hurry to eat out I think..and taking too many 'risks'. I am not being careful enough and paying the price! especially experiencing bad 'brain fog' atm. But at least I am realising and know now that I have a LOT to improve on. I think it is good advice to just say "no thanks" to food.. cos I feel like coeliac is all I talk about...

Yeah sometimes he'll eat something then touch my hand or something.. and I'm like "Thanks for wiping your gluten germs all over me". And the other day he was washing up dishes and I was trying to cook. I asked him to wash a cutting board and he was trying to tell me was clean, I was like "it is COVERED in bread crumbs". Frustrating! So I think I need to talk...

Thanks guys.. it is hard not to feel sorry for yourself sometimes, isn't it? I was quietly crying at my desk this morning because I became so overwhelmed with frustration and hopelessness. I never thought that coeliac (celiac) could affect so many aspects of my life.. it is exhausting at times. I am able to have a free blood test this week to have...

Hi everyone, I have been recently diagnosed with coeliac and have been on a gluten-free diet since September. Lately, I have been experiencing 'brain fog' and it is a nightmare. I have always considered myself to have an awesome memory and always bragged about my short-term memory as I would be able to look at my notes just before being tested in...

Hi Everyone, I wanted to get back to you with my results but have been travelling and just haven't gotten around to it. My endoscopy results came back positive and I feel sooo relieved to say with total certainity I am celiac. I have been gluten free for about 10 weeks and feel heaps better. Thanks for your help

Yeah I feel the same way.. I never would have wanted it but if it means being healthy again then I am more than happy to say goodbye to gluten. Thanks Diana. Ok I have Celiac, from now on that is what I am. I will not let myself be "food bullied", will not stop it from getting on my nerves though. I know a lot of people struggle with this...

oops just realised I wrote 37km away from home instead of 37 hours lol... It is actually about 3,000km away from home lol my bad.

Hi all, I am a 23 year old female from Geraldton, Western Australia. I have had positive blood work, am awaiting my biopsy results and have had a positive reaction to my new gluten-free diet. I have been gluten-free for only two weeks!!! I am working on creating new eating habits, being very careful and not being tempted (as yet). But I am feeling healthier...

Thanks for your reply. It makes me feel better about my decision to become gluten-free. I do hope for the positive diagnosis though (maybe more for other people to recognise it), if it is negative am I still able to class myself as Celiac because of the positive blood test? Because you cannot be a little bit Celiac. Yeah I will absolutely tear that...

Hi all. I am a 23 year old female from Australia. I never thought I would be dealing with the possibility of coeliac (celiac) disease and am currently awaiting the results of my biospy which is taking forever!!! I just want to know how long it takes to get your results? I have been waiting for three weeks and am waiting to hear back from the doctor...
