ARCHIVED Maybe It Is Celiac...
chocolatebunny posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
A year and a half ago, a doctor put me on the gluten free diet even though my blood test results were negative due to failure to absorb certain vitamins. I've skeptically followed the diet, mostly because I have a mom who insisted and who also eats gluten free (I'm 17). I've been skeptical that I've really had celiac because I've had no gastrointestinal problems... -
ARCHIVED Don't Even Know If I Am Celiac...
chocolatebunny posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi everyone, I have been following the gluten free diet for 8 months or so, but I don't really know if I have celiac disease. I got put on the diet by a doctor who I went to because I had lost my menstrual cycle and also had thyroid disease symptoms. She tested my vitamin levels and found that I was profoundly decifient in some vitamins. Some of these vitamins... -

Dear Chloe, I can so sympathize with you as I am a celiac braceface also. Luckilly I had braces over a year before being diagnosed with celiac disease, so it wasn't a huge diet change (although it was pretty big). I remember when I first got braces, it helped alot to cut food into very small bites. I could eat mostly anything but it just took a little longer...

We will pack coolers with food for breakfast and lunch (we won't have cooking equiptment unless we stay at a hotel w/ a microwave) and go out to dinner. Have any... -
I am a gluten free vegetarian, so I know that it's hard, but it can be done. There is alot more out there to eat for gluten free vegs than it would seem. For breakfast there is cereal with or without milk or soy milk (my favorite gluten-free cereal is puffins). You can toss it with dried fruit or nuts. Lunches, you can make a sandwich with gluten-free bread...

ARCHIVED Negative Test Results, What To Do Now?
chocolatebunny replied to a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It's interesting... my mom told me yesterday that she read an article on celiac which said that the results for the bloodtests are inaccurate 90% of the time! I don't know if this study was wrong but still, it's something to think about. -
ARCHIVED Gaining Alot Of Weight While Gluten Free
chocolatebunny posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi, I'm 16 and was just told that I was celiac a few weeks ago. My mom is also celiac which made it much easier to cut our gluten. One thing though, is it seems as if my weight is increasing, almost uncontrolably, in these past few weeks. I've always been very thin and I even lost some weight this year. It was always difficult to gain and keep on weight...
