B) I have both Celiac Disease and Type 1 diabetes and am hoping to meet others living with both diseases and how you deal with it. I've had diabetes most of my life, but was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a year ago, although after a lifetime of symptoms.

You poor thing! There are lots of foods that you can buy off the internet that are gluten free and sugarfree. Search the web for gluten free food stores then you can look around and see if they are sugarfree. Sometimes they will state in the ingredients or they'll state that they are sugarfree too.

Hi!

I'm Ginny and I'm 15 years old. I, too, have both Celiac and Diabetes Type I. I know how you feel - finding diabetes-friendly gluten-free food is very difficult. However, ever since I got my insulin pump a year ago, my diseases have become easier to have together. But, if are unable to get a pump, perhaps changing your diet would be easier. Maybe instead of relying mostly on manmade gluten-free food like cookies and bread, etc., you could base most of your diet off of naturally gluten-free foods like fruits, veggies. This may help spikes and such. Anyhoo, my IM is munki109 in case you want to talk diabetic to diabetic, celiac to celiac.

Michelle, my daughter Shelby (6) will be going on the pump in August. It is such a pain for us both finding gluten-free carbs (avg 40carbs per meal)that she likes. Now that u r on the pump do u eat alot less carbs (15-20) then before? I feel like we are practically shoving food down her. The only fruit she will eat is Stawberries...way low carbs or applesauce. She has lactaid 13carbs with meals. I am hoping with the pump it will be easier. Has it been for you? Do you eat alot less carbs now?

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
