    Greetings to you all. Jmg - your comment about blaming things on gluten did amuse me. I am sitting here looking at a field of wheat beyond the garden and the sky above is steely grey. and it is raining. Is there a connection?!

    Hi frieze I have actually just had my latest result today. Latest installment is I am back to anemic, but this time the hemaglobin has finally tumbled too so whatever my current problem is it isn't too much hemaglobin - at least for a while. My awful perimenopausal symptoms are responsible, there can be no doubt in my mind. It seems to me that...

    (Trents, just an aside, I see you have been with this community since 2006. It is good to meet someone who has been with celiac.com since then!) What you say about B12, that is interesting. If you stop taking those supplements, do your hemaglobin levels go down, too? I took huge levels of B12 sublinguals at one point and I wondered if that was...

    That's interesting, trents. Do you supplement B12 too? I do wonder sometimes if I need to look at that again as I get tingling and find it responds quite quickly to a dosing of B12, but I'm now concerned to take that too as I imagine that can affect the hemaglobin, too?

    Not as far as I know. I gather that can be a factor - I had a chest X ray since I fell ill with possible pneumonia but nothing unusual detected.

    Hi All Just wanting to hear from anyone who has ever had/or who has high hemoglobin. I gather a lot of us celiacs have strange blood test results, particularly liver function (enzyme) tests, which often improve after going gluten-free. Thankfully mine have to date, all apart from one thing. I was anemic before DX and went onto iron supplements...

    A brave, kind lady. She helped so many people.

    Thanks so much, gluten-free, in my hypchondriacal panic I saw that website! It is good to have an endorsement from a celiac. I remember seeing quite a few reassuring stories in it along the lines that you describe. Funny isn't as because I now feel far less inclined to eat large amounts of carbohydrate now I have cut back a bit. It seems the more...

    Thanks! When I get a mo. I shall do some reading. Anything to get rid of these highs and lows. I must say a friend of mine who has done paleo is positively glowing now.

    Thank you both so much for your replies. I like the sound of what's on the menu, cyclinglady! I think I have definitely been straying down the cake aisle too often so will look out for more protein, GFinDC. Readjusting to fewer carbs is making me feel a bit weird - and from what I read this might be causing the thirst which thankfully is much better...

    Hi everyone. There is a lot in the press here in the UK about prediabetes and diabetes. I am an apple shape, as opposed to a pear, which I gather puts me more at risk. I have a lot of relatives with types 1 and 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed with celiac disease three years ago and the diet has been going so well that I am now putting on weight - I realise...

    Hi Anne I am sorry - I have only just read your post of nearly a week ago. You certainly sound as if you have been through the wars. A rotator cuff tear is supposed to be very painful. I wonder if the doctor was referring to costochondritis. I think that is interesting what you are saying about nerves in the neck/spine. I find when I am...

    Hi Anne I think it would be a very good idea to see your audiologist. I live in the UK and will always be grateful for the National Health Service but increasingly I feel doctors are under so much pressure we can help them a lot by connecting these dots for them - although some might not welcome it, others do. You could well be onto something as isn...

    My nutritionalist told me to say allergy because some people only understand that word. I can't quite bring myself to say it, though! I have never been asked the preference or allergy question myself - yet . I haven't dared eat out for months but now I am again and what I now find myself doing is ordering and then when everyone else has put their...

    Bartfull Thank you for all the help and encouragement that you have given so many people on this site. God bless you. xxxxxx

    Hi Jack and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure if it is just on my computer but some of your text is missing on my screen, so forgive me if I have missed something you wrote. Celiacs have problems with diarrhea but also mucus with their stools sometimes. I am just wondering if you have a problem with either.

    Hi Ashley Firstly, welcome to the forum. Sympathies too - I too have gained weight - I am now 14 pounds more than I was at diagnosis two years ago and if things carry on, well who knows. I am still just within the healthy BMI but compared with my weight two years ago I feel bigger than I should be, esp. as long before my DX and two pregnancies...

    Welcome to the Forum, Emma! I, too, am British - and there are several of us that use and contribute to this site, although you will notice most contributors are from the States, so I tend to drop the mystery 'o' in the British spelling of Coeliac when I type (and after all this time I am not sure why we include it!) Are you a member of Coeliac...

    Thank you! Lightbulb moment! I share the toothpaste with my family but the other day, by mistake, I used one of my gluten eating children's toothbrushes. Now it may or may not be related but these last two day I have had some awful canker sores develop in my mouth - I had two bad bouts before DX but no recurrences since being gluten-free. Could this...

    Hope all goes well on Monday. I remember after my diagnosis my own gastroenterologist saying it was not common to have strange liver function tests but it did happen. He had just seen someone else with odd blood readings but they had come back down in line in response to a gluten-free diet. But he never had the time to explain why - this is why Gemini...

    Girls... thanks you all so much for your various contributions. Gemini, I just have to say it again that it is good that someone else has travelled down this route with me. Elevate blood protein has not been my only other weird symptom over the years, my health insurance call advisor actually laughed when I was ringing up about cover - he said he had...

    Gemini - that is an amazing reply, it must have taken an age to do all that typing so I really do appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank goodness I am not the only celiac with this! I must admit I did find one other article that linked gamma globulins to celiac disease, but it took some searching. It was to do with why this protein might be elevated...
