Sorry... Once again I am very frustrated about this! My blood tests came back negative and I just had an endoscopy yesterday and am just waiting for the results... I feel like family history on my moms side could indicate celiac... My great grandmother died of multiple myloma. My grandma has been going to the doctor for a reoccurring rash on her...

ARCHIVED Should I Have An Endoscopy?
taynichaf replied to nickadooski's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes get one before you go gluten free. You are a celiac and that means gluten free for the rest of your life! And somewhere down the road you might run into a doctor that will not take positive blood results as a diagnoses or something... idk, doctors are kinda dumb :/ ha. So just do it now, and get it done with! Its good to also be able to see how damaged...- 8 replies

ARCHIVED I Had My Endoscopy Today!
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ooops! I don't remember making this post ha, but I guess I have GERD and a hiatal hernia... unless those are the same?... does anyone know if THOSE can be linked to celiac? Ohh and I am so happy with my doctor! He said they generally take 8-9 biopsies and hes like the head of a celiac organization or something, and he knows about non-celiac gluten sensitivity -

ARCHIVED Questions To Ask Doc Doing Endoscopy?
taynichaf posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I am getting and endo/colonoscopy done.. this friday! Yay! Im actually more excited for this then I am for my high school graduation in like a week, lol. Anyways, I will call the office tomorrow to ask if I will be able to talk to the doc before surgery, but what were your expiriences?? I'm just so afraid that he wont take enough biopsies or just... -
I think your worrying too much about this! If she likes you, she likes you... not for what you can or cant eat. And if her sister is gluten intolerant, thats a plus! She understands what you can and cant eat. Let her go get burgers with her friends or something, you two wont be together 24/7 anyways, ya know?

And atleast my dad supports me with this, although I do not live with him anymore Good to know he understands at least. And I know, I hope my mom will be able to see the changes that happen in me but... -

ARCHIVED 49 Yo Bodybuilder Needing Advice.
taynichaf replied to charlesalyea's topic in Sports and Fitness
Hmm.. You should try a low carb/high fat diet. The first few weeks are tough, but after that you get continuous energy and no need for carbs! For body builders though, they have a "refeed" day, where you eat low fat and high carb to restore your glycogen stores... Just a suggestion, if you can't find much carby things to eat. Ohh, and this diet is also amazing... -
ARCHIVED Child Symptoms Negative Blood Test
taynichaf replied to Deb1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just let her continue to eat wheat for a few more weeks, and then go back and get tested again. Make sure you get the FULL celiac panel as well. I was tested for celiac twice, both came back negative, but they were also just the older tests. My doctor set me up with an endoscopy appointment now, so if this comes back negative, then I guess I just have gluten... -

ARCHIVED Does Gluten Affect Your Thinking ?

ARCHIVED Fast Weight Loss
taynichaf replied to smallquiltpieces's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Although I did'nt lose that much weight, in about days of eating gluten free i droped like 5 pounds without even trying! For a year now, i've been eating healthy and exercising, but I just could not lose any weight! (unfortunatly, "healthy food" includes wheat and whole grains) These 5 days of being gluten free, I ate a whole package of gluten free cookies... -

ARCHIVED Weight Altercations
taynichaf replied to itsmebiancap's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes. Fats are very filling! People seem to be afraid of them thinking that eating more fat will make you fat... WRONG. More healthy fat will probably help you lose weight! It keeps you full longer and helps you feel satisfied. I realized this when i started a low carb/high fat diet... which is actually how I found I have a gluten problem! I droped 8 pounds... -
