so am I a Gold Star Celiac now?? LOL

I had my colonoscopy and it was FINE FINE FINE

I had my endoscopy and he said he could "see damage consistent with Celiac Disease" just from looking, of course he is sending all my stuff to be biopsied. But, I got so lucky, because he actually KNEW something about Celiac and said his former wife had written a book on the diet! I also have a hiatal hernia, and a lot of damage from heartburn type stuff, acid backing up my esophagus etc. So, I am to go gluten free right away, and get an appt with a dietician, and also he wants to recheck my anitbody levels to make sure I'm doing well on the diet!! I feel FANTASTIC!!! All these years of garbage and I finally have something I can TREAT! I will be HAPPY to eat gluten free the rest of my life!!! Thank you so much for your prayers and kind thoughts today also. I appreciate them all. And thank you for the support on this board. I will be sticking around and trying to educate everyone I know about Celiac Disease. Next, I will be getting my 3 children tested.

"I feel FANTASTIC!!!"

That sure does say it all! You are now an official member of the gluten free club! It's so nice to finally figure out what's wrong that we do cartwheels to find out we are celiacs. lol

Sounds like he turned out to be alright. Now he needs to educate his nurse practitioner. Hope you feel better soon. Also after my confirmed diagnosis I asked my kids ped to screen and explained that I just had gotten a diagnosis. He refused to order the blood tests, saying they were fine. I was so mad! :angry: I had to call their allergist/immunologist in a town 70 miles away to get it orderd and they had no problem doing it. My oldest has been screened twice since all of the tests were not done the first time(lab problem). Good luck and be persistant.

Just wanted to say that I am very happy to hear of your great doctors. Finding a good one is always a positive. I hope things start going your way. Also, good luck with your children. I just started working on getting things taken care of concerning my children. I can't bear the thought of them having to deal with the things I have had to already. Good luck in all you do! :P

I am so happy for you not happy you have celiac but it feels good to have answers. I am just expecting the same diagnostic. I did the celiac blood test for the second time this year and this time, I made sure it is the whole panel. My blood test was done in late September and it seems like I can't have results until late October and I am wondering if that means something.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      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?
