    Sorry, me again. I have to meet with the specialist for my endoscopy next week. Is there anything I should ask about taking supplements? I am already prescribed iron pills and B12. Should I ask about taking other vitamins? A probiotic? Enzymes? I normally suffer from constipation and a myriad of digestive issues. Thank you for your assistance...

    Well, I was off gluten for about 4 - 5 weeks, then got the letter to go for my endoscopy and go back on gluten. So I've been back on for just over 2 weeks. My family doctor diagnosed me back in January based on my symptoms, family history and the tell tale positive blood panel. She was going to order an endoscopy to check on damage due to the years...

    The excessive blushing/flushing! I had gotten so bad that I would feel my face burning red even if I thought someone was looking my way. I haven't felt that since being gluten-free. My face was almost constantly red too, but that isn't the case now! It was embarrassing to blush all the time and to look like I was always blushing! Night sweats and...

    I was diagnosed in January 2013, so it's a learning experience for me and my family. Hubby has been pretty good at helping me stay gluten-free, a few hiccups but we're getting there. Went visiting my parents today. My mom is always asking me what I can't eat. My toddler niece offered me a cookie and my mom says, "No, Auntie can't eat that. She...

    Excellent! Thank you! Now I have my weekend set out for me! Just took a peek at the site and looking forward to watching episodes I haven't seen yet!

    I think along the same lines as your mom. I celebrate anniversaries too. In May I will be celebrating the 19th anniversary of my 29th birthday! Oh my goodness, I've lost track of my age! I first put 20th anniversary then thought, no that makes me going on 49. Put in 18th, and that makes me turning 47. LOL then I actually had to count the decades...

    I am in withdrawal! Has anyone seen Mrs. Brown's Boys? It is hilarious! It's on the BBC. My husband is from Northern Ireland and I lived there for 8 years. One thing he misses is the British comedies. PBS used to have them on at night but they have cut back big time! Thank goodness for the internet! He introduced me to Mrs Brown's Boys a few months...

    Oh believe me I wanted to get in touch with him. Problem is that was during my 8 years of living in Ireland (have since moved back to Canada) And that dr has retired. I was so relieved to get my results, then the anger with him kicked in!!

    Officially diagnosed celiac disease on January 14, 2013. A life changing day for me! Finally I got answers! At the age of 47. For me, I have been lactose intolerant since childhood. As an adult, I went through prescription after prescription for indigestion, heartburn, constipation, migraines. I always thought I just had a bad digestive system...

    When I went to my new doctor about being tested for celiac disease, I was informed that OHIP doesn't cover the cost of the celiac panel blood work. I didn't care because as far as I was concerned, it was worth it. I tested positive. It's still worth the $125.00 it cost. ( Several years ago, when I first brought the idea of me having celiac disease up to...

    Thank you so much for the responses! This forum is a wonderful support network and great for helping us who are new to this! Thank you! I told my hubby today that it is going to be a bland diet for me for awhile while I attempt to conquer this and get my tummy & DH feeling better! And yep, that also means I do all my preparing. I know my husband...

    In the past year, my health deterioriated so bad and I had no energy to do anything and my joints ached profusely. My parents and siblings always made comments about me not coming around to visit, or being angry with me because I wasn't spending more time with my young niece. I got the sarcastic barbs about making excuses, being antisocial, lazy. ...

    Official diagnosis on January 14 2013. I have been doing a lot of research and coming to terms with the gluten-free lifestyle. I've been enjoying eating healthier foods and feeling better. But on Monday Jan 21, tummy not feeling good and that night I had the night time panic attacks that have all but disappeared. My DH went crazy with itching and burning...

    Hmmm.... doubts that someone at age 55 would suddenly become celiac??? Maybe more like suddenly started exhibiting symptoms , or worsened symptoms! Well, I worked with someone who suddenly started getting sick. He would eat his lunch and soon after, we wouldn't see him for sometimes near an hour, gone to the bathroom. He had no idea what was going on...

    Thank you so much! It really is a journey of discovery. I look forward to full swing gluten-free because to actually start feeling good, wow! I know how good I felt in the one month gluten-free, and then how awful I felt during the gluten challenge. Day 2 of being gluten-free again.... nice to not have a bloated belly!

    Thank you!! No I'm in Northern Ontario. I'll have to travel 600 km round trip for the Specialist. But it's all worth it. I think I've just out of the blue shed tears of relief since hearing about the positive results. And try as you might, you cannot get anyone to understand what you are actually feeling, unless they've experienced it themselves...

    Good day all. I am new to this but have been doing so much research. I apologize for this being so lengthy but I feel like I've been given a new lease on life! I am a 47 year old female. For years, I've had digestive problems, reflux, bloating, gas, constipation (but stools are loose and messy!), lactose intolerance, IBS, depression, and weight...
