It's been months since I checked out the Celiac.com Message Board. Was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease in Nov. 2005. This Message Board was my SAVING GRACE! During my initial healing, was on your Board for hours learning about Celiac Disease, feeling your pain, and gaining strength from everyone elses experiences w/ doctors, family & friends. Went several months without the dreaded symptoms and then just in time for my 1st anniversary come the bloating and gas, diarrhea/constipation, and cramping. Guess my symptoms are a gift of telling me to be more watchful; that this truly is a disease and a very inconvenient one (guess all diseases are inconvenient). Went to a holiday dinner party at an Italian Restaurant a couple of weeks ago and can't tell you how tempted I was to eat the variety of pasta dishes being served; and can't imagine how miserable I'd be, if I had. Am thinking I was glutened last weekend while on a date. Thought the spinach/artichoke dip w/ melted cheese I'd ordered would be gluten free, but within a couple of days the symptoms of Celiac were back w/ a vengance. Shopped at Trader Joe's today and spied the same dip; looked at the ingredients and sure enough - wheat.

Started Real Estate the 1st of August this year and have sold a couple of homes! Am combining my Interior Decorating with the R/E. My Logo is: Real Estate, Real Design, Real Value. Please check out my website: www.RadNMHomes.com.

Had my first art opening (along w/ 32 other artists) this year. Also try to pastel plein-air paint weekly. Purchased the Canon Rebel digital camera and am enjoying field trips w/ it, as well as being a member of a great camera club.

But for the moment, don't feel like doing much of anything w/ Celiac symptoms wearing me down. Pray our discomfort from this uncomfortable disease will soon pass. Are there any cures for Celiac Disease on the horizon?

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      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?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
