Hi, welcome! its kind of good your doctor has tried to be thorough with testing. A lot won't bother with the genetic testing after negative antibodies and biopsy. My testing was based on gluten challenge, positive antibodies and a positive HLA DQ8. Did your doctor test the full panel? There is another test I believe if a person tests negative for antibodies...

Hi, sorry also that you have to go through this. I had a total thyroidectomy over 3 yrs ago now. At first i started off on low dose then raised it gradually. I was on tablet form levothyroxine and tried different makes, most of which made me feel like my throat was closing up (a very scary experience). I must've been allergic to an ingredient but...

Hi, I have the DQ8 gene and was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago. In fact blurred vision and anemia has been my worse symptoms along with achey arms, bloating and dh. Edit: Oh and brainfog...I forgot that one☺

Hi Bridee, I still suffer with blurry vision after being gluten-free for nearly 2 yrs which maybe because I'm still not absorbing iron (it should take a child hopefully less time to heal). I have to take iron supplements. I also wonder sometimes if im not healing quicker as I think the only gluten which maybe creeping into my diet is barley from cereals...

Would love to try them as I've been looking for gluten-free veggie burgers and sausages for a while now. They look nice but I've not seen them in any mainstrream UK supermarkets as yet

I find peppermint tea really helps.

Hiya Blessedmommy, I've been veggie for over 30 years but its only since being diagnosed with celiac disease 14 months ago that I've took more interest in cooking from scratch (used to practically live on microwave meals!). Anyway, I've a few decent books but tend to throw allsorts together in a slow cooker or wok and hope for the best or failing that use...

Yeah I'm a veggie, I take the B supplements and try to eat healthy but still low on B12. I might be wrong but think mushrooms are a source pffft I'm not too keen on them but will try the sublingual. cheers

Thanks Adalaide, I will mention it. Like you say, it may be a bug I could've picked up from the hospital. Just hope tomorrow's infusion goes better and I don't come out with something else and I feel energised to clean my house from top to bottom

Hi HavaneseMom, I'm feeling alittle better today thanks but still a booming headache and tired. Got another infusion tomorrow and hopefully that's all I'll need. Yeah maybe I have my tea at the wrong times but think I'll cut it out for the time being and introduce gradually

Thanks Ravenwoodglass and HavaneseMom, I'll get the bilingual b12. I only have a couple of cups of tea or coffee a day as I've cut down alot but didn't know about the non-heme iron etc. Its a pain but if it helps me get some energy back, I'll quit completely. Infact just having a ginger and lemon tea right now, but must admit I love my morning cuppa...
