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!!

      New issue

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I get the shakes...

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Gluten free phosphate binders for dialysis patients

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
