    My trusted friends! I'm getting fat! Ok, I eat very basic food, fruit and veg, rice, an egg every 2/3 days...no dairy except butter... My downfalls are handmade crisps and the odd glass of wine at weekends...Otherwise I'm very pure!! So, since being off gluten I have gained a whopping 17pounds? How why! My thyroid tested ok (big lab ranges here in uk...

    Just saw your post, thought I'd respond as I became intolerant to corn and corn products at about 2 months gluten-free. Watery poo too! Disappeared as soon as I cut the corn! I now only eat whole foods as most of the corn I ate was in the gluten-free alternatives, which IMHO are just full of rubbish mostly. Keep an eye out for other intolerances, food diary...

    Hello I smiled when i read your topic title my boobs have gotten bigger too! I have a post on here about it somewhere!It took a month or 2 of being gluten-free and then all of a sudden my boobies began to grow!! I must admit this is even stranger for me being 40years old! But not unwelcome! After the birth of my son 6 years ago, I ended up with a couple...

    Thanks Kamma! Sorry, only just seen this, been a manic month, not been able to get my fix on these forums!

    Just a thought... If I look to be hypothyroid (think I am slightly) should I wait for a few months to see if things settle? I know that my results have fluctuated in the last 8 months quite alot. I'd obviously like to wait a while, unless I am putting myself at risk??

    THANK YOU My doc gave me betablockers... 3 days ago... I have not taken them. I HATE the ida of masking things...and actually think you are right tbh, at least I hope you are!! I have noticed (funnily enough), that my ONE treat... choc dipped rice cakes (dark choc), defo set me off with the palpatations... I havent had any of them in 2-3 days... I have...

    Yeah, I know, I mustn't be too hard on him I guess. It's just that I am expected to be 'normal' every day... Everything since going gluten-free, like my hives to eggs, my hair falling out, aches and pains, a-fib and palps, i get the standard "stop worrying about it, you're fine" or "stop reading up on the google, you see these things and them assign them...

    Lol I wish my husband knew what this celiac disease is like, he gets cross if I remind to watch this or watch that...and gets cross if i'm feeling crap! does NOT get it. hey ho! my 6 year old son responds much better and is far more caring about it!!! guess you can't have it all?!!

    You know I'm sure celiac disease gives you bipolar??!!! I swing from elation to depression so quickly! Normally all health related, but still! I'd like my stable self back now please!

    You know... THANK YOU! And more hugs What you say sits well with me, I do think my thyroid is out as I have put a lot a weight on (from fruit and veg??!) and my hair SO thin now, I have bouts of mass shedding. Also a pee test with a private doc a while ago showed adrenal fatigue... Guess that impacts thyroid? And most hormones really. So I must be patient...

    Hi I'm on coeliac uk too. Directory would be useful if I was able to eat processed food! I think coeliac UK is really behind on up to date information although obviously it's better than nothing. I'm like CM and see my membership as more of a donation/ support. I never really use the website much unless its UK food related.

    Thanks Lisa My docs are completely useless and I have to fight them for copies of any bloods. (They think I'm a trouble maker for even asking questions). I'm starting to think you are right you know, that my numbers are low and within normal range. I know it's not as good as being told the biopsies are normal but it's a bloody good place to start! In fact...

    you shining star!! thank you! so...tTG, maybe you are right then... i thought the same as you initially... and then starting looking at the results again, and wondered why they say Anti-tissue transglutaminase and then Tissue transglutaminase. Are these things the same thing then?? Ugh. I then looked up what the equivocal range meant and thought perhaps...
  16. designerstubble
    For your ref I'm typing EXACTLY as it appears: Code Result Anti tissue transgluaminase level 1.2u/mL (1-10)-Tissue transglutaminase equivocal range =7-10u/mL Is it just telling me what the equivocal range is? OR is it telling me my Tissue transglutaminase is in the equivocal...
  17. designerstubble
    I'm confused. I typed them exactly as they appeared on my lab report. I thought the same as you to start with and I was elated. Then I researched and found out that 7-10 u/mL is a high reading. Unless thats a reference for labs. I don't understand why it says 'Anti-tissue transglutaminase ' and then under result it says' tissue transglutaminase'??? ...

    Ok, I've just learnt for myself that it isnt good news It seems my levels are still very high after 8 months. I'm so upset, can't believe it. I am as gluten free as I can be. The only gluten in my house is my husbands beer, but he knows that i won't go near him if he's drinking it, we don't even kiss through my own paranoia. I don't know what else to...

    Hello again Received some tTG results today from doctors. They could not interpret them. So I was wondering if anyone here could. I have been gluten-free for 8 months and I have no idea what my previous tTG levels were as they only came back with a positive (UK protocol in some areas). So I have no idea if these levels are good or not. (I have also put...
  20. designerstubble
    Thanks for that girls Am just going to post some results I received on a thread... Maybe you could help?? Doctor couldn't tell me anything??? Alas I am doomed with these doctors. But, maybe someone on here can?? Thanks for all you advice, hopefully someone can tell me what it all means. And hopefully, it's good or ok news, can't cope with more...

    Hello Had my blood taken 2 weeks ago, first tTg antibody test done since diagnosis last October. Normal protocol here in UK is they write to you to let you know the outcome if everything is OK, but I have just received a letter with a new appt for my blood results. Doesn't bode well. The main problem I have is that when they diagnosed me, the labs...

    Thanks so much for your response! This exactly how I feel about my running and exercise. I haven't really had this problem after running except once, when in the shower I felt like my heart didn't beat for about 3 seconds, then it went crazy for a few seconds... I felt a bit dizzy & lightheaded and it did make feel queazy and odd... but it had been a...

    Went to docs last week because of palpitations, flutters, missed beats... They occur sometimes everyday at rest or after eating or basically at anytime, ocasionally I don't notice them for a day. Sometimes I notice 10 in an hour. Sometimes its more than just one ectopic, its 3 or 4 together. Once after a run i had a missed beat of about 3 seconds then a...
  24. designerstubble
    Ok, let me know what your doc thinks... I'll do the same and post back (wont be for about a week or so), like you say... best to get it checked out hey? and let me know if the potato helps you... I'll eat 5 if have to? PMA anyone... somebody heeeeeeelllllllp!!!! Aaaaaaaaaarrgh!
  25. designerstubble
    Yes, I think you are right, as I have had weight gain, hairloss etc... I have made an appt for docs next week. Any ideas on what tests I might need?? The doc that tested my pee was private (i'm in UK) and I can't afford to go back to her. I'll have to go to the crusty local doc unfortunately that doesn't even know about celiac. Ugh. Its never ending hey...
