    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...

    Thanks cyclinglady, I will take a trip to the local shop and stock up

    I take B-complex, could I crush one of them and place under tongue or does it needs to be a standalone B12? In the meantime I'll have a look for the sublingual type.
  18. VeggieGal
    Thanks for explaining Karen. Looks like another trip to the docs then. I was told I was low on B12 still and I bet the caffeine I drink doesnt help with absorption. I will try cut it out and have more vit c too.

    Thanks 1desperatelysaved . It just feels there's always something else going wrong. I've had blood tests to see how I'm doing on the gluten-free diet and its come back fine so its frustrating that I still have such low energy. But I guess if it took you upto 18 months for recovery it gives me some hope at least .

    Hi all, after being gluten free now for about 14 months my iron levels are still very low. Is this normal and how long did it takes yours to come back better levels? Last week I was given an iron infusion as the iron tablets don't seem to do anything. I'm due another infusion in a couple of days. Well I still feel absolutely exhausted/breathless and...

    Hi Jay-ru, sorry to hear about your intolerances. I also had a few but am gradually adding foods back in now but soy and dairy are out for me too. The dairy is more of an allergy for me with the throat swelling and achy arms. When I take levothyroxine I feel like I'm being choked, presumably due to the lactose but I'm awaiting testing on that. My doctor...
