    Wow, 25 years? Is there no cure or end? Are your platelets low? I've been hovering around 120-145 for about 5 months now. I was in the normal range before that(150-500 being normal). Haven't checked in a while. Really hoping it's improved or at least staying consistent and not lower next time I check. That's one of, if not the main thing scaring me. I...

    Thanks EZ I have a question for anyone, Is nuts.com the best place to get certified gluten free nuts? I thought someone here mentioned where or what kind to get, but I don't see it. The nuts I got had a fine print on back that read "packaged with peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat(gluten) and milk products" The ones at Nuts.com says it's packaged with everything...

    Sup EZ, no I haven't had a colonoscopy. I actually requested one, but I was told to wait and see if there is any improvement after going gluten free. I'm also looking for another GI doc for a 2nd opinion. I had the endosopy done with biopsy that confirmed the celiac. Other diseases is my concern. It's like "now what?!". The blood platelets were low before...

    I know what you mean. I can't eat eggs or any kind of dairy. I eat red meat once or twice a day. Ground beef(hamburger) has a lot of calories and fat. I love bacon. The problem is watching how much protein im getting a day from red meat or chicken or fish. Too much protein is not good long term unless your weight lifting. I would eat boat loads of meat. White...

    I can't eat dairy or eggs. Caffeine either. I do get copies of my test results. I see what they see. Thyroid came out good. So it's tough. I'm trying and hoping. All I can really do. Thanks

    Oh and I'm also unfamiliar with the autoimmune disease you mentioned. I've had gallons of blood work done. Have not been told I have anything. So I'm at the mercy of them and am powerless. I'm close to getting a decent diet. Not there yet as I'm still experimenting, but close. I can only hope things get better with time or else these doctors are just...

    I have pre-diabetes. Over 140 and less than 200 1 and two hours after eating high carb meal. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be high carbs. I ate a few gluten free corn chips and that spiked me. Some carbs are easier than others. My bmi is just below normal. I went from 155lbs to 125lbs. 155 is already too low. 125 is way too low. I don't trust what...

    I had a bone marrow biopsy done because my blood platelets are mildly low. That's why my doctor sent me to see a hematologist. Because no doctor was able to tell me what's wrong with me, I feared leukemia. The test definitely doesn't feel good, but it actually isn't that bad. It's the anxiety and fear of the test that's actually worse. Being scared of maybe...

    Right now my doctors want to wait and see. I don't know about any of you, but I usually have a difficult time with my docs. They don't usually listen and it's always "wait and see". "We'll see you back in 3 weeks, in a month, in two months" etc. That's usually the worst part about everything for me. Waiting and not knowing. All i can say is.. ugh! Thanks...

    Right now I'm having pretty bad stomach cramps and bloating. I'm trying to figure out what's causing this. It might be the almond milk or eggs. I can't think of anything else that might be causing it.

    I just received the meal plan yesterday. Went shopping today at an organic health food store. So tomorrow I will start it. I lost a lot of weight so I'm on a 3,000 calorie a day meal plan until i get my weight up. The plan includes.. Gluten free corn flakes, almond milk, egg. chicken breast, brown rice, salad, olive oil and vinegar, hummus, peanut...

    Thank you very much again everyone. Your all good people.

    I really appreciate this and everyones help. I'm so overwhelmed by all of this. It gets emotional. I know that once I figure out the right diet plan for me that it won't be such a big deal. Figuring this out, getting started and staying consistent is the hard part. I have so many symptoms and feel like total carp all day and night. Thank you for the encouragement...

    Thanks for the advice everyone. This is so new to me. I don't know anything about food. Literally. I used to just eat whatever. I was one of those people that would pronounce TSP as it's spelled. I'm not a very good cook at all. I also have hyperglycemia. Possibly pre-diabetes. Too many carbs at one time spikes my blood sugar. I have to go gluten...

    It's because I just recently found out and totally clueless. I'm now just starting to figure this out and hired a dietitian who created a meal plan for me just yesterday. So that's what I've been living on for that time being to be safe and for some needed calories, fat and protein. However, none contain gluten so this is frustrating. You mentioned nuts...

    I recently found out that I have celiac. Since then, I've been living off red meat, fruit(apples) and gluten free supplements(says so on the bottle) until I get used to this and figure out a decent diet plan. Today especially my stomach is bloated, my poop has bright yellowish spots on it(gross) and I feel sick. I don't understand what I'm eating...

    I've googled this and can't find a real answer. Only speculation. It's weird because that's how my GI doc diagnosed me. As I mentioned on my original post, my primary care and GI doc didn't catch it. I noticed it when looking at copies of my tests. Was then sent to a hematologist and that whole situation was a nightmare. When I followed up with...

    Thank you very much for the reply and info. I truly appreciate it.

    Hi everyone. 38 y/o male here. New to the forum. Just found out two weeks ago that I have celiac disease. Confirmed through a biopsy. I have a few question so I'm hoping anyone out there would be so kind to help me out and give some advice. For about 3 years I have been having some type of chronic illness. It usually lasts about 1-3 months at a time...
