ARCHIVED Partner May Have Celiacs, Need Advice
zoso66 replied to zoso66's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks! It is becoming very frustrating for me to know that she isn't willing to at least try the diet, especially since it seems like such an obvious answer. I'm trying to be patient and realize that her reaction is much more complicated than her being stubborn and that she is experiencing a roller coaster of emotions as well. Hopefully I can approach the... -

Thanks! I definitely can see that this whole situation is causing her a lot of anger and depression which gets targeted at me mostly because I'm the one who is around the most and also because I seem to add to her stress by trying to help. I struggle with this, because I have always been a "fixer". It just seems so obvious to me that trying to go gluten free... -

Thanks for your reply PricklyPear, I have suggested that she just try it for a couple of weeks and then reintroduce it to see how it affects her, but she doesn't seem very willing and gets really irritated when I suggest it. Tricking her into going gluten free would be an absolute disaster. I would never do that, because then I know she would never trust... -

Thanks so much for your reply! In a round of initial blood tests to find out what was wrong with her they did one test for gluten antibodies, but it came back negative. I keep reading that those tests aren't reliable and that the only way to know for sure is to eliminate gluten and see how you feel. But I think she may be using the fact that the one blood... -

Hi! So I am in a situation that I'm sure others have found themselves in and am in great need of some advice and guidance. So my girlfriend has been exhibiting symptoms that seem to be extremely indicative of a gluten intolerance but she was just recently diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome by her doctor. The symptoms are so similar and I have been...
