Hallo!

 

Ich heisse Emi und ich werde diesen Sommer in Wein wohnen. Ich bin ein Student aus Amerika. Ich habe Fragen ueber Leben mit Zoeliakie in Wein. Ich weiss dass mein Deutsch braucht arbeiten und schlect ist. Ich habe Deutsch fuer sechs Jahren gelernt in Gymnasium aber jetzt ich lerne Russisch in universitaeren. Ich habe viele vergessen. Ob sie koennen meine Fragen beantworten, es waere zehr hilfreich. 

 

Vielen Dank!

 

 

Now for English to correct all my horrible German errors... My name is Emi and I'm going to be studying abroad in Vienna this summer. I'm a college student from the US. I have some questions about living with Celiac's in Vienna. I know my German needs work and isn't great. I studied German in high school for six years but now I'm studying Russian in college. I've forgotten a lot. If you could answer some questions it would be really helpful. Thank you!

Have you googled to see if they have any Celiac support groups that might be of help?  This is the list C.com has.  Not sure if there are any on there that would work.  If you find any, could you Pm me and we can add it to the list for future info seekers.  When you find things this summer,  maybe you could add to this post, too.  Thanks

I will definitely be updating as I learn more about what my options are in Austria. I did find the Celiac's Society there. Open Original Shared Link I haven't found a "read in English" button for people who don't speak/can't get by in German.

The website appears to be in German only, but there is an e-mail address that they indicate in English that you can send questions to about travel to Austria - Mrs. Petra Pries - Open Original Shared Link

Hello!  I'm a neighbor in Germany originally from the US.

 

Your best bet is to contact them at the email address provided for information in English. Things are a little different in Austria than in Germany, but you might also get some help from the DZG in English. Open Original Shared Link -- they've been very helpful to us these last six years.

 

I've heard that Vienna is quite advanced and knowledgeable about Celiac issues, through the magazine that the DZG puts out. They occasionally will highlight areas you can vacation at and Vienna is one that pops up quite a lot.

 

You will likely find a lot of gluten free food options (prepared foods) at some of your supermarkets in the freezer section and a specialty food section all together. Ours is located in the Asian/Mexican aisle in one store, and near the diabetic and babyfood in another supermarket.  You may also find options at the Reformhaus and if there's a similar store to DrogerieMarkt (or even that chain) in Austria, you may find it there as well.  They have a nice selection in our area in Germany. . . lots of bread, cereal, breakfast bars, cookies and  packed items you can bake.

 

 

Hope that helps!

Due to lots of celtic blood, they have a lot of celiac in Austria. They often know more about celiac than over in Germany.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      Enegy level extremely low

      It's difficult to say exactly why, but it is worth discussing this with your doctor, as it can by a symptom of other things--especially if you're also losing weight.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi I finally visited with the Dr today and she ordered labs to be done. Not just for celiac disease but about 7 blood tests in total including iron levels. I’m 30 years old.  My symptoms are  -Chronic diarrhea. In the last month and I half I had it multiple times a day, everyday. Pretty often occurrences  before I really started paying attention.  -frequent headaches  -fatigue -had my appendix removed 1 year ago due to appendicitis (not sure if this is related) -frequent stomach rumbling and gas -sleep disturbances-waking up multiple times a night (3-5 times a night) -severe restless leg syndrome  -generally just don’t feel well on a daily basis -hands and feet get cold very easily tingly feet -anxiety/depression/mood swings/irritability . I take medication for bipolar disorder and anxiety but still have anxiety  -sometimes get acid reflux. And sometimes it’s really bad. Like wake up choking on vomit thinking I’m gonna die bad.  My son is 6 and has excema, is anemic, is on 2nd percentile for growth, gets constipated, and is at risk of having seizures… My Dad was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis as a kid 50 years ago, and has a non alcoholic fatty liver, is anemic, and is fatigued.    I’ll post my results as soon as I get them. To be honest I’m hoping it is celiac disease as it could explain so many things I’m dealing with.

      Welcome to the forum, @mariamccl! It is outrageous that you have to wait so long for a GI appointment! I assume you are in the UK from your use of "mum" for your mother. That is par for the course I understand in the current UK medical system. I am glad you went private concerning the camera. Will this also include a biopsy of the small bowel lining?
