Okay, I've been gluten-free for almost a month now. I accidentally glutened myself today, and this afternoon was really awful, but I still went to the gym and sat in the sauna afterwards, which I've done twice before. After my friend and I got out of the sauna and showered, I was covered in splotchy red. It looked like a rash, but it wasn't bumpy or itchy...

I've only been gluten-free for almost a month now, and the Celiac probably only kicked in 6-12 months before that, so I don't have a lot of experience but... As a child, if my siblings got a fever, I got a fever, chills, vomitting, and it lasted longer. If my boyfriend in highschool got a sore throat, I had a sore throat, runny nose, sneezes, and coughing...

Well... I feel like this is almost off-topic now, but I'm gonna go back to original topic, if that's okay with everybody here. I'm gluten-free for two weeks today. So super newbie. Thankfully, I have a really chill job where I text my boss at 8am if I'm not feeling good enough to come in. He doesn't care if I'm there or not, my work does not effect anyone...

Yeah, I found them. But their pre-screening form only has an option for a zip code, and then just asks for city, so there wasn't an easy way to say I'm Canadian. Which usually means its only open to Americans. And if there was a way for me to do it, it might not even be worth the bother.

Okay. I know this might be a dumb question. I'm okay with that. I know celiac is an auto-immune disorder, so does that mean my immune system will be weaker and I'm more likely to get sick? Because, this morning when I woke up I felt totally fine. And the before lunch, I kept sneezing. And now, at two, I have an uncontrollable cough, I feel like I can...

Sad... I can't find anything similar in Canada.

Okay, so what you're saying is that I might not need to bother with the endoscopy?

Thank you! I appreciate the pointers. I feel so overwhelmed. There's so much I need to know, and I need to know it all now. I'll definitely talk to my doctor as soon as I can. I've never had a problem with her, so I'm sure she just thought it unnecessary but I would like to have a conversation about all this.

That's what I thought. I'll see if I can make an appointment just to understand my results. I've been getting stomach pains for several months, ranging from stabbing to shooting, but only late at night or in the middle of the night. I went to two different doctors about those, who just shrugged them off and sent me home. I've also had intermittant...

I'm in Saskatchewan! Brand new to this whole Celiac thing though, so I haven't tried any of those products.

Hey all. I guess I got diagnosed with Celiac disease on Friday. I've been unwell for several months, and I went in for some blood tests, but my doctor didn't tell me what all she was testing me for, and then she called on Friday to say that everything came back normal except that it "clearly shows have Celiac disease". She didn't give me anymore information...
