I got the call yesterday that tests confirmed I have Celiac Disease (which I had never heard of until 2 weeks ago!!) I guess I have a great doctor, because he caught this on my first visit with GI complaints.

Just wanted to say I'm glad this site and this board are here. I'm going to need a LOT OF HELP! :huh:

Also, had colonoscopy today and am feeling incredibly sick from that. I'm really looking forward to feeling better!!

Welcome deedee,

I'm also a newbie here. I have found this forum to be very helpful. The members in here are so great they should get paid like the doctors do :D

I have been gluten-free for 2 weeks now and I can already tell a BIG differnce. I can't remember the last time I woke up and didn't feel like I wanted to barf. I hope you start feeling better soon.

use this forum daily, it really helps.

Terri

      Popcorn pain

      By JenFur · Posted

      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 🤔

      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?
