Celiac and Homeless

Ok, so that sounds very dramatic. But technically its true

 

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiacs, and I am currently living in London. Obviously with the rents and the nightmare housing issues here. I  have been crashing at my friends for 5 months. Starting to feel a bit like I cant repair myself because i dont have my own space, room, privacy, i sleep in the living room so my sleep is very much dictated on everyone elses plans. I think this may be just a rant, but |I apologise. You forget how not having your own space is fucking exhausting on top of the celiacs exhaustion!

 

Sorry needed to burn it out

I feel you shared housing and this disease was a nightmare, if you lived close in the USA I would offer you the couch so you could live in a safe place and get back up on your feet. PS there is a option so start your own blog page on this in your profile I find ranting and reporting on my daily life there can be great for blowing stuff off.

No need to apologize!  I just got back from visiting my SIL for 2 weeks. I slept based on other ppl's schedule and was terrified by their kitchen which had bread crumbs everywhere!  I can't imagine doing it for 5months. I hope you find a place soon!

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
