Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

From Spoil-Sport to Super Woman! Tale of a Mother's Reversal!

In the beginning of my celiac journey; I expected that my biological children may also have celiac disease.  I urged for the whole family to use caution and do a trial gluten free. Because of my super-sensitivity to gluten, we created two kitchens. Now, a decade has gone by.  My 5 children grew up and flew the coop.  Not one of them has opted to be tested or go gluten free, so far as I know, although each is gluten aware more so than I would have been.  I have one child still at home.  This

Restless Leg Syndrome

I’ve had restless legs for years but the last several months they have been a lot worse in the evening despite prescription medication. Is there a relationship between RLS and Celiac?  Any suggestions would be appreciated before they drive me crazy. Lol

Just recieved Celiac diagnosis

After just recieving a formal diagnosis for Celiac ... after MANY attempts to resolve digestive issues, it's a bit overwhelming to figure out how to get every bit of gluten out of my kitchen.  Products (flour and the like) or gone but I am looking around and realizing how many porous surfaces I own and now , need to replace.  I would love to get input on how member initally cleaned counters, drawers, sinks etc.  Are there products, or methods, that worked for you?  Also, is there a belief that w

Deamidated Gliadin IGG elevated

I had a positive biopsy 6 months ago and I have been gluten free since then. My doctor just checked my deamidated Gliadin IGA and IGG for the first time to see how my body is responding to the diet (still having GI issues). My IGA was 1.0 (normal <15) but my IGG was 18.1 (normal <15).  With one value on the low end and one elevated does this mean I am still getting gluten? Unfortunately he didn’t do these tests when diagnosed by biopsy  so I don’t know what my values were at that time

Ferritin level of 5

I was diagnosed with celiac 2 months ago, so this is all new to me. My GI doctor put me on a steroid (Budesonide) to help “jump start” the healing process. In the meantime my GYN drew lab and my ferritin level is 5!  The GYN said to start an iron supplement, but when I told the GI doctor about my ferritin level he just dismissed it and said to just give the steroid time. So I don’t know if I should start the iron regardless of what the GI doctor said?  I feel extremely fatigued, losing hair etc.

Seeking Advice as a New Mom with Celiac-Hyperthyroidism

Hi! Though I am new as a member of this forum, I just want to say how much it has helped me, with all the articles and forums, to be able to manage my conditions. It has been an absolute lifesaver! So, a month ago, I was blessed with the unexpected surprise of a baby.

I am new to this and just learning. My dad has been diagnosed w celiac disease at 76.  He was completely healthy, on zero medications, eating healthy meals cooked by my mom, and taking vitamins for years!  When he was first diagnosed (after weight loss and weakness completely disabled him), ever Dr he saw said No, you can’t have celiac. You’re too old. But slowly we have learned that celiac in older people is more and more common. This is an auto immune disorder, yes?  Are there any studies rega

Whatever you do, DO NOT fail to mention that you are a Celiac if you have to go into your local hospital, even if it is not an admission for celiac disease:- It is dangerous not to mention to your nurse, or any nurse treating you, that you are a brittle celiac.  I have had so many "accidental issues" - outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis and celiac disease issues. From the nurse that told me she would make me a "Nice cup of tea with some cheese crackers" when I could not get back to sleep

Head ache after eating

Hi! My 19 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease this past May.  She is completely gluten free and was feeling good until a cross contamination in November.  For the past three weeks she has been having headaches and they get worse after she eats.  She is so on top of her eating and we know it’s not caused by gluten.  Doctor said to take magnesium and vitamin B12 supplements but nothing is helping.  Has anyone had this issue or have suggestions?

      John Scott pointed me to Wiki entry about the effect of diet on hookworm egg production: https://www.helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/NA_incubation:_very_detailed_method_by_Alana#Promotion_of_egg_viability_by_dietary_manipulation

      Nothing presently in my diet was mentioned in the article, but it does bring up the obvious point that my diet would naturally affect the health and wellness of the hookworms that live in my gut. Something to think about.
