This morning as I was eating my rice flour/banana pancakes I was a little overwhelmed thinking about how thankful I am that I have been diagnosed. I clearly remember pre-diagnosis and how yucky I felt after a gluten filled version of this morning's breakfast would make me feel. It was a joy to have a couple of big fat pancakes and not feel the days-long gut churning, nausea, tiredness and all over malaise I used to have! YAY! :D

I feel the same way everyday of my life. So grateful and thankful that I can feel great again. For years I was dizzy and foggy and fatigued. I live most of my days now downright giddy that I figured out why. Best of all, I've got back my creativity and forward thinking.

I'm not quite back to clear thinking all the time, but I have had it happen enough that it gives me hope for the near future!

I'm not quite back to clear thinking all the time, but I have had it happen enough that it gives me hope for the near future!

I'm also feeling hopeful. I've been gluten free for almost a week, so I haven't noticed significant change, but just knowing that there's a reason for my symptoms and a way to reduce them gives me hope!

      This is another study that dispels the myth that glyphosate is safe: "Pesticides and prostate cancer incidence and mortality: An environment-wide association study": https://acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cncr.35572

      Years of testing - no real answers

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit! Were you on a reduced gluten diet when those blood tests or the biopsies were done?

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi everyone. I have a history of GI issues (gas, diarrhoea, pain, fatigue). In 2018 I had a a blood test that returned “weak positive” for Celiac (I don’t have access to this result) and in early 2018 I had an endoscopy. The dr said by appearance he believed it would be Celiac but biopsy said no. 2022 I had another blood test with results: Anti TTG IgA: 27 units (norm 0-20) high IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0) Endomysial antibodies: neg I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and had the same abnormal appearance but negative biopsies. All my dissachrides were low so I was referred on to a dietitian. I am still struggling with all my GI issues but now with nausea, brain fog and weakness/joint pain even following the low disaccharide diet with enzymes. I’m now pondering my previous results and see that all 3 low disaccharides can also be an indicator of Celiac. I’m struggling and so confused and wondering if anyone has any guidance or advice for me? Thank you

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ and unfortunately different celiacs have different trigger levels for gluten, and some celiacs have little or no symptoms at all when exposed to gluten.

      Night time migranes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger migraine headaches, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/
