    It's really impressive to see how people on this forum extend a helping hand. This is what keeps me coming back.

    I can believe this story because my gastroenterologist didn't have a clue about Celiac disease and really discovered it by accident. In follow up conversations I new more then he did. This seems to be the norm. Medical schools do not give much credence to many of the autoimmune diseases that seem to be so common like Celiac disease: 1 person out of 13...

    In addition to this forum there are a lot of support groups you can contact in your area depending on where you live. Google support groups on your computer for your location and then try several of the meetings. I have found that they were extremely helpful to me and I continue to go. Plus I met a lot of new and interesting people and made a few new friends...

    My gastroenterologist finally figured out what was wrong with me however it was by accident. I was only diagnosed in November of 2009 but I have discovered that most doctors don't have a clue about Celiac disease. As Wolicki said most Celiac's have figured out for themselves. Then we had it confirmed by a "medical professional". Have you been tested for...

    ARCHIVED Over 50

    Financialman replied to over50's topic in Super Sensitive People

    Hello over50, As I am sure you have noticed nothing in the gluten free world is inexpensive. I buy alot of my nuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios at Aldi's which seems to have the best prices. Sorry but I am not familiar with what's available in Canada.

    Welcome nmthommy, The wait is worth it. There is a wealth of information on this forum. Look around you'll see what I mean.

    Welcome Mtcross, There are no dumb questions when it comes to your health. This forum is the place to be to ask your Celiac questions so ask away.

    Welcome to the forum Nancy. You are definitely in the right place for answers.

    Keep in mind that Celiac Disease is an inherited autoimmune disease. If other people in your family have an symptoms similar to what your husband had before he was diagnosed then they should be tested. The problem with the testing is that unless the doctor actually looks inside the small intestine, endoscopy, the other tests are not conclusive proof that...

    Thanks for the response Jerseyangel and your friends psawyer and kareng. Not to ignore psawyer (4,000+ posts is also a lot) but kareng has over 3,000 posts in little over a year which is also amazing. What's your story?

    I am a financial writer, speaker, and author and it seems like one of the few men on this forum. I also teach financial topics in various colleges and universities near where I currently live in Southern Indiana. Previous careers included US Treasury Dept., tax accountant, insurance sales manager, stockbroker. Just about anything financially related....

    If a Celiac continues to eat gluten, the gluten will do permenant damage to the small intestine which in turn could lead to cancer. Everyone is different but I can't see how the abdominal pain is going to get any better not considering the damage that is being done. You really need to think about this.

    ARCHIVED Does Anyone Feel Good

    Financialman replied to ikayak's topic in Doctors

    In my first year of being gluten free I felt like hell. Tired, nausea the usual stuff. I got rid of the tired feeling by exercising more, taking supplements, and especially vitamin b-12, shots or drops. Once my gut and I adjusted to each other things have improved immensely. Check with your doctor and see what can be down. These things may not work for...

    Hi kbracing, I currently live in Indiana but does it really matter where we live? There is a tremendous amount of support and information on this forum as you will see if you just ask. Your new lifestyle, not diet, is a difficult thing to adjust to but not impossible. Once you get past the foods that you can't eat, and you will, you will experience...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    Financialman replied to cO-ol's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I fight with nausea just about every day also. The only thing that has been helping me is "crystalized ginger" which I buy at the local health food store. Medical marijuana is supposedly the best thing for nausea but I have never tried it. You really should talk with your doctor and insist they listen to you. Be diplomatic but aggressive with your doctor...

    I forgot to ask Jerseyangel how you were able to have over 18,812 posts on this forum since 2005?
  17. Financialman
    Hello to everyone. It looks like community is growing,slowly, but growing. I have been spending time looking around for the last two weeks or so and there is a wealth of information here. We need to recommend this forum to all our Celiac friends.

    ARCHIVED Life

    Financialman replied to Jack V's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    That's great that you are feeling so much better. There are a lot of interesting comments about different foods from many parts of the world. Frankly I don't believe it is entirely the food that is the problem but rather the processing and preserving of the food. The genetic alterations of such things as wheat and injecting animals with growth hormones...

    Thanks to all who responded to my question about the warn status. It takes a little time to get to know all of the little nuances of forum sites so thanks again for educating me.
  20. Financialman
    I have been on this forum for two months now and have 24 posts. On the left hand side under my name there is a elongated bar that isn't filled in but says warn status. Why is that there and what does it mean? Thank you. :

    One of the things that you don't want to do when you have Celiacs Disease is get yourself upset by worrying about what other people think or say. Who cares! We have enough concerns in keeping from getting sick from cooking from hyopchondriacs and others who don't get it. Your "real" friends and hopefully your family will understand and that's all that...

    CourtneyLee, Things will get better. There is a psychological component to this new "lifestyle" change you are going through. Celiac disease is more than a diet and it takes some getting used. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum that can help and support you to get through your "adjustment" period. Don't be bashful with your questions...

    Hello Hazeleyes70 from Southern Indiana. Lots of Celiac/gluten intolerant members on this forum with a lot of good info on how to handle this life style change. Ask your questions and follow the forum as often as you can. It has helped me with some issues.
  24. Financialman
    Hello from Southern Indiana. Hang in there. You have lots of friends on this forum who have gone through the same thing. Just stay in touch and keep posting and you will get through this.

    NewsyNanette, I was just visiting my son in Seattle this past August 2010. There is absolutely no problem in finding gluten free food or restaurants. Seattle is miles ahead of most parts of the country when it comes to Celiacs disease and gluten intolerences. I spent a week their and every restaurant I ate in was knowledgeable and accomodating. I like...
