Hi everybody :) !

I'm new here,too. My name is Anete,and I'm from the other coast (Eastern Europe). I recognized this disease some 5 years ago,didn't understand what's going on with me. Doctors here avoid such thing as celiac. I started to avoid glutens and my health improved. I'm fighting secretly,because it's a shame here to have any disease. My relatives and "friends" still make bad jokes on this theme. Now my diet is much healthier because I make my meals myself (for my family,too). Hope I can help somebody with my experience.

Hello and welcome Anete. I'm so sorry you don't have the support of your friends and family..or medical people. I'm glad you figured this out for yourself though.

We're here for you! :D

Welcome Rose, Helen, Gemme and Anete!

Glad you all found this forum - it really is the best place to come to get information, gain support, ask questions are simply vent when needed.

Fantastic accomplishment Anete - sounds like you are very strong to have tackled living gluten-free without support from doctors, family or friends. I am sure your experience will help others that visit this site.

Best wishes and happy healing to you all :)

I am thinking some artist can do better, but those are the best flowers I got. I have much better ones in the garden, but I couldn't get them into the computer.

      Question

      As I mentioned above, NCGS stands for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same GI distress symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease and is not an autoimmune condition, as is celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease...

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose. What is NCGS? And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt. For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them. Six weeks later, I still can barely...

      Question

      There really is no test for diagnosing celiac disease that does not require the consumption of wheat for weeks or months ahead of the testing. All testing either measures the antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten consumption or looks for the damage the to that lining that the inflammation causes. If you take...

      Question

      Thank you. Is there a test that does not include consuming wheat that I can request my doctor to have done? Also, is it a celiac reaction for me to blow up my joints with gout like symptoms? thank you, is it safe to eat links that contain sucrose and dextrin?

NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We actually know much more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease. The only known antidote for either is total abstinence from gluten. Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease, one of the more than 200...

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose.  What is NCGS?  And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt.  For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them.  Six weeks later, I still can barely use my hands.  I struggle to get a bottle cap unscrewed they hurt so badly.  Edema in my legs and the knees hurt to walk.  And that was probably a minor exposure as the wheat was listed towards the end of the "contains" list in very fine print we couldn't read without a magnifying glass.

All testing either measures the antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten consumption or looks for the damage the to that lining that the inflammation causes. If you take away the gluten, the inflammation subsides and so do the antibodies and healing takes place such that there is no damage to see. The only "test" that does not require gluten consumption is a genetic test but it can only be used as a rule out for celiac disease since 40% of the general population carries the one or both to the genes...
