I got my official diagnosis this morning.

My doctor said that with the damage I have and my medical records, I have had it my whole life, and it nearly killed me.

I was really surprised to find so much support on the web, though. It is making it easier to be gluten free, which I have had to be since I was released from the hospital a couple of months ago.

You'd have to ask my intestines.

I was unofficially diagnosed a month and a half ago but only officially from biopsy results a week ago. Judging by the fact that I haven't put on any significant weight for 5 years, and have had on-and-off low iron for about 3 years, I'd say it'd be at least that long sinse I've had it. Those are my only symptoms which is good in a way but it also means my diagnosis has been postponed.

I had celiac almost all my life -- nearly 50 years. That's why I refer to myself as a banana baby. Way back then you eliminated everything and were started on bananas, and gradually added things.

About three weeks ago although I've been on the diet for 5 weeks. I've prob. had symtoms all my life but was told it was the Cerebral Palsy. I started having unexplained problems in 95 and my first bout of low iron in 2000. I'd say I've been sytomatic for 13 years it just got to a breaking point 6 months ago.

I have had celiac officially for about 3 years..always had stomach aches though since ealry childhood, so probably longer.

at first it was really hard, but each day it gets easier.

I am a nutrition major in college, so i hope that one day i can help people the way i was helped.

I am on my 6th week on my trial diet and it seems to be helping. I'm going on my first long trip soon. I'm not sure how much or what I need to bring. Any advice?

I been having symptoms all my life, since I was a kid, and I found out about Celiac at the age of 39.

The worse and more severe symptoms have been with me for the past 20 years.

I have only known for one month. Some of my symptoms are definately those of celiac. I tested positive for the genetic test so no gluten for life they say. :unsure:

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
