ARCHIVED How Effective Is A Diet
MaxConfusion posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
When diagnosed, my Anti-tissue Blood test level was 10. After 5 months my level is now 19. Does that mean my diet is not working well enough? How quickly will mistakes in a gluten free diet make the antit-tissue level go up? Is a level of 19 very bad? I thought my diet was working pretty well because I have been feeling good, although occasionally I... -
ARCHIVED Wheat In Nz And Australia Has No Affect On Me
MaxConfusion replied to MaxConfusion's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks to all who have replied recently. One possibility is that I am similar to cavernio who said he doesn't know when he has eaten wheat. Perhaps it is actually corn that creates the reactions that I feel. There is corn in many products in USA (in various forms) but perhaps not so in NZ and Aus. This might explain what I experienced. I am now also... -
Hello Leeloff, I only just saw this thread and I have been discussing a similar thing in a post of my own. I was recently diagnosed but just prior to that (and again recently) I had been having issues in USA but went to Australia and NZ and felt no reaction to any wheat products there. Based on that, I was convinced I couldn't have celiacs. I brought some...

ARCHIVED Wheat In Nz And Australia Has No Affect On Me
MaxConfusion replied to MaxConfusion's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

I have eliminated most corn from my diet and feel better although... -

Thanks Mushroom, GFinDC, and Butterfly, I never knew Celiacs was so complicated. The handouts from the doctor just talk about wheat and Gluten. Gfin, I like your idea about living in Aus. Unfortunately, it won't happen in the near term. Butterfly, I think I probably am reacting to something else in USA. The confusing part for me is that I felt better... -
ARCHIVED Wheat In Nz And Australia Has No Affect On Me
MaxConfusion replied to MaxConfusion's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you all for your replies. I still have a lot to learn. My problem is that I feel better when eating whatever I want in NZ and Australia, than I do in USA on my gluten-free diet. I want to understand why so that I can do the best thing for my health. If no outward signs doesn't equate to no damage, then how will I ever know if my diet is effective... -
ARCHIVED Wheat In Nz And Australia Has No Affect On Me
MaxConfusion posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, New here. I am living in USA and have recently been diagnosed with Celiacs, but just before the diagnosis I took a trip to NZ and Australia (4 weeks) and ate all sorts of bread and pastry items but felt fine with no discomfort. At that point I was convinced I couldn't be Celiacs but that's not what my doctor tells me. Back in USA I am on a gluten...
