  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. If this is my case I will be happy. Thank you for this info. Hope your daughter is doing well with her gluten free lifestyle!
  4. Lol! Yeahh my mom took me to a fast food place too... Don't remember much but i guess I ate a ton haha. How did yours go?! Ohh and i slightly remember asking the nurse for apple juice, hahah. And right when I woke up I was like WTF? and then I like was trying to get out of the chair and someone had to stop me...
  5. 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
  6. I'll know the results within a week, but he said everything looked normal... :/ And then he diagnosed me with acid reflux..is that a big symptom for celiac disease?
  7. They need this at Sam's club! I only go there for the samples lol. I'm not eating gluten free yet, but this post should come in handy soon
  8. He could actually diagnose me with NCGI?!?! I'd be happy with that, ha. I just really want some kind of diagnoses! But okay, those are great questions, I'll ask them as well. Your appointment is one day before mine! Hope all goes well for you!
  9. 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...
  10. 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?
  11. For some reason this almost made me cry... gluten also makes me overly emotional, lol. But I will be staying at home for college, so thats somewhat good... 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...
  12. Didnt know about that thread, thanks! And thats a good idea, I never thought of it but I think that would be very beneficial! Thanks again
  13. My blood tests were negative for celiac, but I have an endoscopy this friday(FINALLY), and starting then I'm going to be eating gluten free! Celiac or not, I know i have a gluten problem... So does anyone have any advise for me?? I'm an 18 year old girl living with my parents and starting college very soon Also, its very difficult living with my...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  16. Ahhh i love my daddddd... I'm still crying... but i called him and he keeps on telling me he'll take care of it and either way ill have insurance by monday.. thanks again all<3
  17. Ok thanks guys... the panic attack passed, but im sure it will come back... I called the insurance company and they said theyd have to take a few days to investigate :/ I called my dad crying and he said he would see if he could put me back on his insurance, but will it work within 10 days? I suppose it all varries but uuughhhhh... and it doesnt help that...
  18. Sorry... I just dont know who else to go to for help...
  19. Im doing the gluten challenge for my endoscopy coming up in 10 days.... Now I don't know what is going on with my insurance!! I'm under my step dads, and then he got laid off, and now he just quit. No one else is trying to figure out my insurance issue so I'm calling the companies and they dont no whats going on... Omg i just cant stop crying and im hyperventalating...
  20. Yessssss. While on gluten I feel pessimistic, and then off of it im very optimistic, talkative, and excited for the future! I'm so excited for when i get to start back on my gluten free diet! And also after being off of gluten, the day I started eating it again my emotions went crazy. I just felt so lost and couldnt organize my thoughts, and I also started...
  21. 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...
  22. Maybe she is intolerant/allergic to other types of foods?
  23. 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...
  24. You can do it! You can't give up now, or the last three weeks of feeling like crap would have been pointless.
