So I was told I had celiac disease based on my blood test results about a month ago but today I was told my biopsy showed no evidence of celiac. I asked my doctor what that meant and she had no clue. Apparently shes making a referral for me to see a new set of specialists but who knows how long that will take. I asked if I could go back to eating gluten or...

So I was recently diagnosed and my partner doesnt seem to care much about it. He seems unwilling to learn what celiac is, doesnt seem to be listening when I try to explain its more then just an allergy and keeps trying to one up me when I say my stomach hurts with his IBS. This is an extremely frustrating time for me made harder by his rudeness and Im not...

Im shocked to hear it wasnt covered but it honestly explains a lot and Im truly enraged. My doctor watched me drop weight dramatically, she watch me suffer, sent me to the emergancy room more then once because I needed IV fluids or I physically couldnt leave on my own I was so dizzy/weak. And every time I asked her to test me for digestive issues I was brushed...

Anyone Eaten Domino's Gluten-Free Pizza Recently?
Bec the Lemon replied to Veghead1234's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Im not sure about if its safe or not? (Im one of those that does not feel the symptoms of being glutened) but Ive tasted it and it tastes horrible. Its like eating heated cardboard and nothing like their normal pizza. Or any decent pizza for that matter. If youre going to risk cross contamination for pizza I highly recommend trying literally anything else... -
As I am very new to the gluten free lifestyle I was hoping there were others on this site from Canada that may be able to suggest places we can eat safely? Restaurants and grocery recommendations are highly appreciated. I also know pretty much nothing about what foods are and arent gluten free. Ice cream? bubble tea? chili? cheesecake? are any of these safe...

I hope it gets easier soon, I just had to get rid of so many of the foods I loved and it was depressing to say the least. This list youve given me is very reassuring, the only issue is I live in Canada so I dont have in and out, or PF changs but when I do visit the states I can keep that in mind!! we have Udis for sure, Ive never seen shar but Ill keep...

Thank you for the advice! I did learn I have a few deficiencies including vitamin K which I didnt even know was a thing but thats from the starvation (I think). My stomach still isnt tolerating vegtables which is weird so Im just going with very bland things and hoping Ill get stronger but I havent had a raw veggie in 4 months so that may take some time....

I recently learned it is not my only issue, it seems i now also have pcos and a few small complications, its going to take time to learn how to manage all of it

Seeking Advice, I May Have Celiac
Bec the Lemon replied to DeviD's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your symtoms sound so much like mine its scary, I tested positive for it recently however it wasnt the only issue. I also have pcos, depression, and possibly endomirtiosis. I also have the daily nausea, it was at the point they tested me over 10 times in 3 months for pregnancy (annoying af). They kept telling me it was my anxiety and/or I had an eating disorder... -
Hi there, I was just diagnosed (well sort of, the blood test was positive and the nurse said she was nearly certain based on what she saw in the biopsy but are waiting results from the samples) and Im dealing with a lot of the emotional stress with seemingly none of the support. I have received next to no info on how to actually go gluten free from any doctor...
