    I'm so sorry about your mom. That has to be so hard. I'm new to this like you are. I have found a lot of help on this site. I also read Elisabeth Hasselbeck's book and thought it was helpful. I know some people have mixed feelings about it but I needed all the help I could get! I know what you mean about obsessing about food. I went crazy when I was diagnosed...

    The reason my parents have triggered my anxiety is that they are both dealing with health issues that I'm having to face with them. My mother has a liver disease that is coming back 20 years post-transplant, and I'm watching my father die from alcoholism. I'm also an only child and am facing this alone. So yes, it's been difficult. I know better than most...

    Hi I really am so thankful for the support I get on here. My holiday weekend was ok. Not great. I felt sad a lot. Very anxious. My health anxiety is amped up so I'm reverting to a lot of bad habits (checking my body, checking the internet) and panicking when things aren't "normal" with my digestion. How can my digestion be "normal" when I'm so freaked out...

    Is stage 3b a typical finding when someone is diagnosed? Or is that uncommon and severe?

    I was 29 and at stage 3b when I was diagnosed. I think that more than anything I worry that I've had this for so long. What damage could it have done? Is 29 young for a diagnosis? Old? My son's bloodwork shows he has celiac and his biopsy was at stage 1. He is 3 and thankfully we caught it early. But I do worry that I've had it for this many years, without...

    Sometimes I wonder if I'm just misinformed or if I'm researching myself into a frenzy. Like, how common is it for a person with celiac to get MS? I know that a percentage of people with MS have celiac, but I don't know what the stats are for someone with celiac having MS. My son has celiac and I'm terrified he is going to get type 1 diabetes. I don't have...

    I'm sorry that you struggle with health anxiety too. It's awful. I know where it comes from. I come by it honestly. I'm an only child who witnessed a ton of trauma (surrounding illness) as a child. And nobody ever thought i should see a counselor. Then when I was about 21 I spiraled. And it's been hell ever since. For me, I have very few symptoms of anything...

    When I say I'm obsessed with what I eat I mean that I'm obsessed with more than just gluten. I constantly think "could this cause cancer? Could this hurt my liver? Is this too much sodium?" Christmas is coming and I want to be happy. I just want to crawl into bed and cry.

    I was diagnosed with celiac in November, and my toddler was officially diagnosed this month. I have taken it in stride and have powered through, as I know I have no other options. I also wasn't totally shocked, because I have a family history of celiac and a few other autoimmune diseases. that said, I have major health anxiety. I was always a healthy...
