I sort of had a situation like that, too. Before I was diagnosed, I slept probably 10-16 hours a night if I didn't set my alarm. It was really strange for me, because as a teen I was fine with 7-8 hours (although I have always slept more than the average person, I think - I love my sleep ). I ended up having throid disease and a b-12 deficiency along with...

I see that it's been a month since anyone posted here, so I thought I'd revive it. In terms of the likelihood of your child getting celiac disease, shelagh, Celiac.com (I linked the page) has some research articles on that. It looks like one study says that 17% of first-degree relatives of people with celiac disease also have it, one says 44%, I've also...

Bob's Red Mill makes this hot cereal called "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal". It has brown rice, corn, buckwheat and soughum.

Wait until your bloodwork is back to normal (neg for celiac disease) and your symptoms have subsided. In most people it takes 6-18 months. For me, it took about...

Hi there, I just found out today that I am pregnant (isn't that cute! Valentine's Day...). I have no idea where to start on looking for an OB. Does anyone have any advice on how to look? I am not sure how much my OB should know about Celiac Disease, or what I should be looking for in terms of finding someone who can deal with any complications. ...

This isn't much different than what the others said, but I know that going off BC can mess with your hormones and throw off your cycle. Missing periods is one of the potential symptoms of celiac disease as well, and it takes 6-18 months of being gluten-free to heal up. You BC could have been what was keeping you regular. I was diagnosed with celiac disease...
