I got WELL!!

I got well, also.  The past three years were very trying, but I feel great!  To make a long story short without all the details, I've gained 18 pounds since June and lost my dairy intolerance.  I haven't tried straight milk yet, but I can put cream in my coffee without a problem.  It wasn't easy and included a couple unexpected bowel surgeries (not related to celiac), a broken hip, and two "glutenings" since my final diagnosis. I can now eat whatever I want now, except gluten, of course.  Stick closely to your diet, and be hopeful that you will get there eventually.

Rockstar Kate,

Thanks for posting your success story!  It does my heart good to hear of your good efforts and good luck.

I was also quite sick at your age; but missed getting diagnosed.  I was completely focused on getting through a professional school at the time.  No time to take care of my health.  No insurance.  No money. No support system. Big mistake.

Anyway, I'm very happy for you and your good health!  Congrats and continued success!

Again, thank you for posting.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
