    I haven't seen my gastroenterologist for a few years. I was diagnosed celiac and have been gluten free for more than 5 years. I've been having trouble again for the past 6 months or so. I've done a full elimination diet and have come up with the culprit - eggs! I did a search of the forum here and have found it's not uncommon for people with celiac to...

    Is this a pediatric gastro? I live in an area of MN where there is not a pediatric gastroenterologist. We would need to travel to the Twin Cites to see one.

    I was diagnosed with celiac in December 2012 and have been very strict about my diet. I had my one year follow-up in December. The good news is that my Deamidated Gliadin is now within normal levels. I was told this means I'm doing very well with my diet. My dr. took me off the massive vitamin supplements in August hoping I would absorb them normally...

    Hi all! I was diagnosed with celiac in November. Since I was diagnosed, my whole family is going through the testing process. I know I carry both genes. My boys (9 and 11) were tested and while they also carry the genes, they don't have celiac. So far, neither of my sisters have celiac. One of my nephews tested postive for celiac. I have 2 other...

    I'm new here. I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. I've been trying to do research on my own, but most of what I find is written for healthcare professionals and difficult for me to understand. I feel like a complete idiot trying to understand the genetic science part of this. If someone can answer in simple terms, I would very much appreciate it One...

    I have an update. My dr. just called. Another test result came in today. I have officially been diagnosed with celiac. I probably shouldn't be happy about it, because I know going completely gluten free will not be easy. However, I cannot wait to feel better. I can't wait to have some energy and not to hurt in my hands and feet all the time. The...

    Hi all! I'm new here. I've received some mixed reports from my dr. and have been trying to make sense of them. I thought I should share what I've learned and see if anyone has any additonal insight for me. History: My first symptoms were fatigue and swelling/pain/numbness in my fingers, hands, wrists, and feet. After many doctor visits with no helpful...

    Hi all. I found this forum while trying to search for the meaning of my test results. If anyone has been in this situation, maybe you can help shed light on it for me. My celiac blood test was a weak positive (8). I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy last Friday. Afterward, the dr. came in and told me she found "Duodenal erosion and scalloped mucosa in...
