    I hope this isn't true for you, but in addition to having celiac disease and dh, I have several contact allergies to chemicals in many every day products. I have researched and the only shellac nail polish that I can use is CND. There are a few regular nail polishes that I can also use, but I have to read ingredient lists like a chemist!

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease nearly 5 mos. ago, and have been oily d free for a month or two. I, too, have begun taking Sertraline / Zoloft, but since I was changing from another medication, I started at a higher dose to replace the dosage of the previous medicine. I have been on the Sertraline for a month. Recently, I have been in a lot of...

    Has anyone with dermatitis herpetiformis tried Terrasil? I am suffering horribly from some skin problem that I think is associated with my Celiac Disease, but I really don't know what it is because I can't get any of my doctors to examine it. They just suggest that I hand it off to someone else Sorry, but I must vent a little bit! I have unresponsive...

    I turned 50 on my last birthday and was diagnosed 4 mos.later. That was nearly 3 mos. ago. I believe that I've had celiac disease most of my life. Because of food sensitivities, I have always watched for what set my digestive symptoms off and have mostly voluntarily and without much thought cut those things from my diet. I, too, believe that I probably have...

    I also wish you a great night's sleep; please wish me one, too. I am in the same boat as you and have been trying to maintain a strictly gluten free diet since the last of Feb. - the first of Mar. My rash wakes me up nightly with horrible itching and pain. In many ways, it seems that my symptoms have worsened, especially peripheral neuropathy and this...

    How do you "steer clear of anything mad in a shared facility"? My husband and 2 sons do not have celiac disease and have no desire to share my gluten free lifestyle. I keep my food separate from theirs and try to make most of our shared food things that all of us can enjoy. I can sometimes trick them with gluten free pasta, but they refuse to give up their...

    Your symptoms are so much like mine! I have only recently been diagnosed and have only been gluten free for a little over 2 months. While my gi problems have improved, the others have not. I just had my first blood work done yesterday. I am wondering if some of these symptoms will be from thyroid problems. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!

    I am truly sorry for all of you who have lost a loved one--whether before or after learning of your celiac diagnosis! I know that this is a part of life, but celiac disease surely doesn't make it any easier. I recently lost my grandmother on the heels of being diagnosed with celiac disease. I have a big family that gathered at my mother's home for several...

    Although I have only recently been diagnosed with celiac disease, I have had symptoms since I was a little girl, and I am 50 years old now. Although there have been more serious and hard to deal with symptoms through the years, I have battled with my weight on and off for many years! I have been both skinny and overweight, often with no real explanation why...

    Amen!!

    In addition to gi symptoms, I've also had the tingling symptoms on and off for over 30 years, and I'm ONLY 50 (just recently turned 50). lol Anyway, I was told many things like: "You just have a nervous stomach." "You've obviously just cut the circulation off in your..." Back???? "You just ate something bad!!" etc. Isn't it interesting that when dr's...

    ARCHIVED Vision

    ncallier replied to whitball's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Please know that I have no medical experience or knowledge!! I do, however, have 2 relatives with macular degeneration, and that's how they explain what their vision is like. Also, when I had ovarian cysts, I had migraines with auras, then my vision would do something similar to yours. I hope neither of these is your problem!! Hope everything readjusts...

    ARCHIVED My Diagnosis

    ncallier replied to Mateto's topic in Doctors

    I hope your blood work is much improved on your next appointment! What just kills me is that even with a definitive celiac diagnosis by both blood work and endoscopy that my dr. didn't suggest any other tests or anything. He even diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis but refused to prescribe Dapsone or give any other advice. He told me I could see a dermatologist...

    Sharilee, You and I are in the same boat. I was diagnosed in late February. Immediately went totally gluten free with only a few suspected cross-contaminations. My symptoms immediately were alleviated but have come back with a vengeance. I now look 6 mos. pregnant rather than just 5 mos. The rash has spread and worsened, and the bathroom problems are back...

    Hi, all! I am fairly new to the forum as well as to celiac disease. I live in middle GA and am equidistant among Columbus, Macon, and Americus. I need a good doctor who specializes in managing celiac disease cases. So far, I have found none of these. If you know of a good doctor who can help me, please respond. I really need help! Thanks!!
  17. ncallier
    I, too, am from middle Georgia. I haven't found a dr. who is capable of managing my celiac disease; I hope you have and can recommend one to me. Please let me know if you have found a good dr. I am newly diagnosed and desperately need help!! Thanks!!

    How did you get rid of the itch?
  19. ncallier
    I realize that this is an old thread, but I really need some answers and hope that some of you will read my post and respond. I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease with numerous symptoms that were misdiagnosed for years. I have had intermittent neuropathy for quite a while, but since adhering to an absolutely gluten free diet (with a possible...

    I have the same symptoms but they extend into my perineal area (the area of my episiotomies). Does anyone else have these symptoms? Do you tell your doctor? Is there medicine that eleviates these symptoms? Please respond.
  21. ncallier
    Do any of you actually have leaky liquid fecal matter? I'm not sure that this is a symptom of celiac disease, but I really feel that it is.
  22. ncallier
    I'm sorry for you, but this all sounds so familiar! There are so many other menopausal symptoms I have that seem to be related to celiac disease.

    ARCHIVED Hello

    ncallier replied to PatSch's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Hi! I too am both newly diagnosed and new to this forum. I am very glad to read your reactions to eliminating gluten from your diet. I have been gluten free for less than a month. At first, I thought my gi symptoms were gone for good, but I have days when they flare up again. I am being extremely careful, but it almost feels as though I am getting accidentally...
  24. ncallier
    I am new, too, and having a hard time keeping all the gluten out of my diet even though I am being careful and am not cheating.
  25. ncallier
    My gi didn't offer any timeline for when my symptoms would get better, but I was so in denial that I probably didn't ask enough questions. I keep feeling as though I am improving in terms of intestinal symptoms, but then feel as though I am relapsing. I am not sure whether I am being accidentally glutenized or whether this is normal healing. If you have any...
