About Me
"I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am
I am yours."

Thank you for such an uplifting and true poem. I have been a celiac for nine years, did well but had a bad and prolonged gluten exposure last year from taking medicine with gluten in it and ended up with lymphocytic colitis. I have had the pleasure of meeting older and even elderly celiacs who were quite healthy and one even ran marathons so one never knows how the Lord will lead us through

I have a few questions concering bloating and weight gain. I was dignosed wit celiac disease at the end of April and have been gluten free since the beginning of February. Right when I think things are getting better and my stomach starts to get back to a some-what normal size I get glutened by traces...I usually am only sick for 2 days, sometimes...

Yeah that was the case with me. He said that there was a slight chance that it would come back negative, but we both agreed on me not eating gluten the first test, because it makes me very ill. By being gluten free for 2 months I meant that I quit-ish, although I had some traces twice by accident, which can leave me sick for two weeks at the most. Usually...

I had my first set of test done today, however I haven't eaten gluten for 2 months now. My doctor said it would be okay, considering I am still mildly sick. Would it still come up on the test? They said if it came back negative that I would have to eat gluten and then get the biopsy..but I know if I eat gluten I will be sick for awhile afterwards, which usually...

[quote name='gardener1' date='Apr 21 2009, 03:40 PM']I agree with the other 2 comments so far that you need to get tested. I would go a step farther though. I would go ahead and get food allergy testing if you can afford it. This is also "just" a blood test. I also got a lot better after I was diagnosed and eliminated gluten from my diet...

Okay so... The doctors said I have like a 90% chance of having celiac disease, but I haven't eaten any gluten for awhile to show up on the test, I don't think..and I am super scared of needles so I don't want to get tested for it. I keep on getting really sick, to the point that I cant sleep or do my school work...And I don't even know when I had gluten...
