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!

Congrats on your diagnosis. It's a great relief to put a name to your seemingly disjointed problems and finally have an action plan. I was so relieved and grateful. I know you are on an exciting journey to improved health. Have a healthy holiday and New Year!!

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
