2 months in... struggling with symptoms

@OlafAndvarafors I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle. I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching! I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are... -

@TempCloud How are you doing? I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents. That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten. But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back...

European travel with Celiac Disease
cristiana replied to CJF's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
@Scott Adams has done an amazing job at explaining the situation. Shop at Asda, Morrisons, Tesco's, Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencers and Waitrose which have great gluten free sections and you won't go hungry. Even small Co-op corner shops tend to have a dedicated gluten free area. I haven't had much luck with the German store, LIdl. Can't speak for Aldi... -

I agree with Trents. And if you already have other health issues, it is just one other thing to have to think about. But on the matter of other health issues, depending on what they are, you may find that coming off gluten might help, which could be an unexpected bonus.

@LeeRoy83 Hello again. Picking up on something else you said re: the shock that you may be a coeliac. It may has come as a shock to learn that coeliac disease is a possibility, but if that is the case, although it can be at times a bit of a nuisance not to be able to eat gluten anymore, it has been my experience that most of my friends...

Okay, that's useful. Yes, it sounds like you are out of range, which is suggestive of coeliac disease. Your next step must be to see your GP and see what they suggest but for the time being, keep on eating gluten as s/he may want to order an endoscopy which is the next stage in the diagnosis journey. If you have any questions meanwhile, do come back to...

Hi @LeeRoy83 and welcome to the Forum I'm a coeliac based in the UK, it is always nice to meet another on the forum, although I'm sorry for your recent troubles. It sounds as if they have not provided the normal lab ranges with your results. Is there any chance you can double check with your GP's surgery, or alternatively, if the tests were done...

I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain, bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went. I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks...

Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.
cristiana replied to Farralley's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
A pleasure. It could just be the oats (even pure ones can cause problems for some coeliacs, as I mentioned) but don't be discouraged if that is the issue, as for most of us that passes. Very odd, really, as before going on a gluten free diet, they had no effect on me at all! -
Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.
cristiana replied to Farralley's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi @Farralley and welcome to the form I have had soreness, ulcers and also find my tongue and inside my mouth is very sensitive and blisters easily (blood blisters) if I bite something sharp. Ulcers were a big issue twice before I was diagnosed, the doctors didn't put two and two together and think of coeliac disease, but I had two episodes where I... -
Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis
cristiana replied to CarolTN's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi @CarolTN I haven't been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but as @Scott Adams says, like a lot of coeliacs I do suffer from itchy skin, and now adult onset eczema. The latter started during one of the lockdowns. I find my skin is often itchy if the temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot, that seems to set it off. This time of... -

I went to France about five years after my diagnosis and at that time found I was reacting a lot to food that made no mention of gluten in the ingredients, and my antibodies were raised after my visit as I had my annual review just after the trip. I felt that food labelling wasn't as reliable as the UK, and cross contamination a more marked problem...

Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?
cristiana replied to saaa-wheat<3's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
This is a very good comment. I found all sorts of things difficult to stomach for about 2 years after my diagnosis , that I was able to eat again after a while. Eventually there was one thing that I still couldn't eat and that was pure oats (i.e. those certified uncontaminated with gluten, the only oats we coeliacs should be eating). I think it took... -
Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?
cristiana replied to saaa-wheat<3's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Funny you should mention this. Three times in the past I've had a similar reaction to glutening when I eat broccoli. People have suggested I try it again to make sure it is the problem but I have three distinct memories of meals containing broccoli which caused chills, feeling sick and diarrhea within an hour or two of eating (and this was before I was diagnosed...
