Hi, please can you guys advise me of something that I’m wondering about. With undiagnosed Celiac, is one more likely to have low or high white blood cell count, low or high red blood cell count and low or high platelet count? While I am awaiting my endoscopy which is tomorrow, my six year nephew has also been referred to his doctor for a...

Yes we are aren’t we. I am astounded that I’ve had low iron for years and exhaustion and the doctors have never even thought to test me, but instead thrown antidepressants at me. No wonder they didn’t help! Is the itching a sign of Celiac?!
-
Yes that’s similar to my experience. I was prescribed Ferrous Sulfate and my ferritin level went up to 31ug/l and then stayed at that level for months even taking the ferrous sulfate every day. I can’t wait to feel better. It’s going to be weird not to be exhausted all the time! If it was more than a week that I had to wait for endoscopy I would do the s...

Thanks everyone. Apologies to @Wheatwackedfor not replying specifically to your post about ADHD. in true ADHD style, I read it and didn’t know where to start with a response and so didn’t but I want you to know I definitely read it and have given what you said some thought. I have contacted my daughters diabetes team and asked the nutritionist to ring me ...

Are you saying that my daughters diabetes could’ve been caused by my wheat intolerance? Well that’s certainly something to think about and quite scary!!! And to top it off, today she has told me she doesn’t know why but is unable to concentrate or take things in at school and this absolutely resonates with my ADHD. Fair enough. I’d still like to get ...

Hi. A few reasons why; - if it’s celiac rather than just an intolerance, I will need to be much more careful, separate utensils, cooking areas etc. Which is going to be really difficult, I have a very small kitchen and am a single mum to four kids. It would cause hassle that if I was merely intolerant, I could avoid. If the consequences of eating g...

I just cannot wait to start feeling better! Two weeks to go!

Ok. Yes I’m sure the endoscopy and colonoscopy will tell me one way or the other. Have read a lot about people who’s bloods were not correct. I hope this is the case for me. Although I guess NCGS is the better option, but I kind of want a proper diagnosis so I can say for sure what is making me so ill.

Hi, what is it that makes you think I might have NCGS rather than Celiac?

I also wanted to add that I was about 13 the first time someone told me I had bad breath. I was horrified and became a little obsessed with brushing my teeth, chewing gum and avoiding things like onion and garlic. My ex husband used to tell me quite often and I couldn’t understand because my oral hygiene is so good, I never got cavaties. My dad and my brother b...

Hello all. This is my first post. Apologies in advance if it’s long. I don’t even know what I’m asking - I just need to vent. Get it all out there and if anyone can cast any light on anything I say I’d appreciate it more than you’d ever know. Last year at age 42 I was diagnosed with ADHD. The main symptoms for me were brain fog, severe e...
