Hello,

I am new here and looking for support! I have celiac disease and I hate it!!

These are my symptoms. Just wondering if anyone else suffers from any of these if they accidently infect them self?

exterme weasing and coughing (flem)

runny nose, digestive problems.

The one that bugs me the most is the weasing makes it hard to sleep like right now have to get up in 3 hours for work but cant breath. I accidently infected my self. I bought a roasted chicken not looking at the contents. DO THEY HAVE TO PUT WHEAT FLOUR IN EVERYTHING !!!

Hi Dan!

Welcome to the board!

Yep, they put gluten in the darndest places, eh? It could be incredibly frustrating, that's for sure......

Your symptoms sound like gluten reactions. Many people react differently, some people don't react at all. For some people, they are asymptomatic. Personally, I think there are pro's and con's to both worlds. I sometimes wonder if I didn't get a reaction every time I was glutened, would I be as careful as I am now? Human nature being what it is, I probably wouldn't be as vigilant if I didn't have to worry about the short term consequences of gluten. But then, those who don't get reactions, who decide they don't have to be as careful, (not accepting the seriousness of this disease) have to worry about the long term consequences......

I remember I used to get a runny nose every so often. I am not one for allergies, but sometimes, for no reason, all of a sudden my nose would run clear liquid just like a faucet, not dripping, and actually running water out of my nose..... Weird, eh? That was pre-gluten-free diet, I don't have it happen anymore.....

There are a bunch of really great and supportive people on this forum who will also welcome you. Any questions you have, just post away!

Karen

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      Enegy level extremely low

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!
