Ashy555 replied to SMRI's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Haha... It is kind of funny. I try and take it lightly with my friends and family. They are always serious about it yet at the same time make jokes here and there. I don't mind it at all as its not a sensitive issue with me. Although... it is because of this that the gluten free diet is not taken as seriously as it should be. Cross contamination is one of... -
So I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in Oct 2012. I am 24 by the way. But I have started to notice in the past 6 months that my bowel movements are changing a fair bit.

ARCHIVED Still Lethargic All The Time
Ashy555 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease officially in October last year. I have always gotten really tired but thought it would ease up shortly after going on a Gluten free diet.
