    It can develop at any age, that is why my children will have to be tested every year. My 8 year old tested negative but he could test postive next year. I developed mine at age 39 but suspect it runs in my family. My Grandfather died of colon cancer and I have an aunt and an uncle with type 1 diabities but they haven't been tested for Celiac even though they...

    and I have been on the other end of Irish's mother hennish and I'm healing very well because of it

    yep, we found out that Yoplait yogurt has the crushed bugs ewwwww

    Right. We do it to prevent colds and flu. I wouldn't touch a dirty bus seat then touch my mouth even if I didn't have celiac! Gross

    Lol you'd have to literally live in a bubble if that were all true. Walking in the bread isle? Really?

    The admins should pin a list of "celiac myths" like the newbie 101 thread. I think a lot of people come here with misinformation, including myself!

    Very true! The only other intolerance I've developed is dairy. Hoping it stays that way lol. I think I would be lost without rice :-) Although I had cramping yesterday after eating eggs. This morning i have a little rash but not horrible. But my hubby made them and he used a Tupperware container to mix them that was used for storing gluten foods. Hoping...

    I came across a you tube video saying that celiac is caused by use of antibiotics! And another one about cross reactivity. There is a lot of misinformation out there. If it wasn't for this forum and the books that were recommended to me from you guys, I would be so confused about what I could eat! Now I know some do have problem with corn, I don't, but...

    Thank you! Very helpful. I wonder about seasonings/flavorings so I would much rather buy from brands that put it right on the label

    Peter, do you have a list of safe manufacturers or is there a resource out there?

    Your certain your not getting cc'd? My gurgling has completely stopped as well as the spasms since going gluten free but if I get cc'd or have dairy it comes right back!

    your still eating gluten right? you need to be eating gluten for the test to be accurate. don't be scared of the biopsy, we have all done it and you don't even know it's happening. you are given a sedative and I don't remember anything! the only thing I had was a little sore throat after. I had to have an endometrial biopsy and that was far worse. ...

    and you haven't been tested? thyroid issues are very common in celiac and you already have all the GI symptoms. sounds like you have some GERD going on as well. I suffered from that and had the difficulty swallowing with it, that could probably be the reason for you getting short of breath. I was diagnosed with asthma, moderate persistent, and it doesn't...

    I get the white froth after eating a meal with fats (healthy fats too) if I eat avocado I get it too. For me it is related to my celiac, as I am not absorbing fats. So I get floating frothy oily stools (sorry tmi) It could very well be a symptom of fat malabsorbtion do you have other symptoms? I think IBS could cause that but we all know IBS is just a...

    I need to go back next week for a hip scan because I have been having hip problems since I gave birth to my son. (he is now 8 and it never went away) They are going to make sure there is no hairline fracture going on. It's hard to say when my bones lost density because I was just diagnosed celiac in July. For 8 years my hip has not been the same. It's weird...

    I agree with others about dairy. I was still having bloating, gas pains, joint pain and other problems and it wasn't until I switched to lactose free dairy that I saw improvement
  17. answerseeker
    Ok good. I thought bone couldn't be replaced. My hip hurts all the time and I started developing pain in my arm. Did you have bone pain?
  18. answerseeker
    And I have osteopenia :-( Anyone else? How can I strengthen these bones and prevent it from developing into osteoporosis? I just turned 40 in July this stinks. When I got my asthma diagnosis my pulmonary doc said I had the lungs of a 65 yr old, guess my bones are too :-/

    The iga is your total iga. To make sure you are not deficient, which your not. I had allergy skin prick testing done which came up negative, I was then referred to the top allergist in our area. He studied and consults at the Jewish asthma center in Colorodo which is the best but he now practices here where I live yippee. Anyway he did intradermal testing...

    It's not an operation. We have all had it done. You are under sedative and they put a scope down your throat to look at the small intestine and remove tissue to look at under a microscope. The whole procedure is less than 20 min and you don't feel a thing. I was nervous for mine too. I don't do well with any sedatives but I was fine.

    I again agree with Gemini. My biopsy was negative, partly because I was on prednisone and it could have healed the part they biopsied, and partly because like Gemini said the damage is sparatic and the intestine is huge. My GI doctor said the same thing and he couldn't gaurantee they didn't miss the damage, especially due to the obvious malnutrion I'm sufffering...

    I agree with Gemini. I wouldn't keep making yourself sick wtih gluten. I was diagnosed by my GI doctor based on symptoms, malabsorption, and DH on my stomach. My biopsy was inconclusive because I was on prednisone, a very high IV dosage of it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do a gluten challenge for a repeat biopsy and was relieved when my doc said no further...

    Endometriosis is very common in celiacs
  24. answerseeker
    I attribute cholesterol in celiacs as being low not high. Due to fat malabsorption Right before diagnosis it was pasta that caused the worst reaction in me. I had dizziness like the room was spinning along with the other horrible symptoms

    Yes some days good some bad. This week my energy is shot. We have had a couple weeks of bad air in the Central Valley of CA. The rim fire then another fire after that has polluted our air. I've been pretty much on the couch drained. But the weeks I did have energy were terrific! I haven't felt like that for years so I will take anything I can get!
