Another Celiac Patient Joining The Group! Labs Came Out Positive

:( Hi friends! I was on the forum last week and the week before suspecting Celiac after my doctor I went to see because of getting sick alot with my intestines and he ordered labs and I am scheduled tomorrow for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. He wanted to check for Celiac.

My labs were positive! And he did confirm Celiac Disease. I ordered the grocery shopping guide and am glad I did. It will be very helpful in helping me get well again. I was hoping I wouldn't have to have the other two tests but because of my age and cancer running in my family, he still wants to check me out really good. I got some major damage and have been this way for years never knowing it was Celiac. And have been a very sick female! 27 years I have suffered with this mess and went from doctor to doctor complaining. Now it is official! I have Celiac!

Thank-you so much for helping me! Now I have to learn all about this disease and how to control it by stopping all glutens!

Another thank-you to Lisa for getting me in the forum and telling me all about Celiac! My sister took her son in yesterday because he has been sick for two years now. Poor boy has been vomiting for 3 weeks and gets headaches all the time. Plus he has other things going on. We are just about positive he too has Celiac. Then my mother to is having the same problems. She has been sick for alot longer than me!

Thanks to Lisa for guiding me in the right path! Those labs came in handy and now I am officially a Celiac Patient!

This site really gave me alot of help and I appreciate everybody that took the time to help me!

God bless!

What a relief!! And not that I hope other family members of yours have it, but if they do, you can ALL get healthy together. :) And eat at each others houses without worry. There are blessings along with the curse. May you find them all!

Linda,

Welcome to the Club! ;)

I am so glad you found the right path toward recovery. The theme around here and nationwide is "Celiacs Helping Celiacs", so pay it forward and reach out to others. Your family looks like a great place to start. :)

You have exciting days ahead, full of recovery and good health. I'd be willing to bet you will be seeing improvement in your other issues and your diagnosis of Lupus may be reversed.

Best of health to you and looking forward to seeing you here!

      Diagnosed Marsh stage 3C in January 2026

      Thank you @knitty kitty. I was reading some of your other posts and decided to add your preferred B-complex to my mix of vitamins. I started taking this on 2/17 and plan to continue with them until my next blood draw in roughly 5 months. Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex I hope you have a great day ahead.

      I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein. Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut. They provide lactase to break down the lactose. Vinegar pickled pickles do not. inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria...

      I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein.  Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut.  They provide lactase to break down the lactose.  Vinegar pickled pickles do not.  inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment  that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria.  Organic pasture fed yogurt is good.  Some no fat brands of yogurt use various gums to replace the fat and these can cause a Celiac discomfort.   Vitamin D, Thiamine, Iodine, Choline are some of the vitamins that are deficient in the western diet. Because of malabsorption from the Marsh 3 damage Celiacs are more deficient. Try to choose vegetables low in omega 6. Yes there is hope.  It does take some time to heal the damage  My son was diagnosed when he was weaned as an infant.  He grew up to be a proffesional ocean lifeguard.

      Lactose intolerance is not necessarily to problem in the celiac community. Intolerance to the dairy protein casein can be the culprit as it is similar enough to gluten to cause cross reactivity in a fairly significant element of the celiac population. Oats and dairy are common cross reactors in the celiac community. Eggs, corn and soy are also common cross reactors but oats and dairy are the two big ones.
