    I am coming up on my one year anniversary of being diagnosed with celiac and being gluten free. I am still not feeling back to my old self, although I have seen several improvements in my health since I have been gluten free, I am still nowhere near where I want to be. I still get nauseated very easily, I still get GERD, aches and pains and anxiety, and...

    Hey guys! Please answer my poll!

    Thank you both for the replies. At my 6 month mark I had a repeat endoscopy and colonoscopy. A bunch of biopsies were taken and from what my doctor told me I had no other gastro issues besides the celiac and my villi looked much better but not healed. I have also been tested for nutrient deficiencies and my doctor said everything actually came back better...

    I was diagnosed around 7 months ago and have been eating strict strict strict gluten-free ever since. I finally started to see some major improvements in my symptoms at my 5-6 month mark. I'm only 24 and I have always been very athletic and healthy with no other health problems that I know of, so I assumed I would have healed and started feeling better...

    Hello! I am going on my first vacation since the diagnosis and am feeling a tad overwhelmed. We will be camping in CO, the closest city to us will be Grand Junction. Does anyone know of any safe places to eat in that area? Or even just fun things to do. Thanks!

    You may want to count your calories for a week or so to make sure you are eating enough. When I was diagnosed with Celiac I had to change my diet COMPLETELY. I went from eating mainly carbs and dairy to eating mainly fruits and veggies and I lost about 15 pounds (that I didn't have to lose) in about 4 weeks. My GI doc recommended that I count my calories...

    I'm so happy! after 6 months on the gluten-free diet, I have TONS of new hair coming in all over my head (I didn't even know I was losing so much hair). I'm still not back to feeling 100% but it's so good to see improvements happening!

    Hello Ravenwoodglass, I know this is a verrry old thread but I recently got some biopsy results that also said I had Gastric Metaplasia. Can you tell me what you are doing to monitor this condition, and what you know about it? My doctor just told me not to worry about it, but the fact that it is considered a pre-cancerous condition is freaking me out...

    Hello, I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is feeling unwell. I'm new the Celiac diagnosis myself, I was diagnosed in November of 2017 at the age of 24. I know I'm quite a bit older then your daughter but I can relate to many of her symptoms and the "rollercoaster" of a healing process she has had. I too am not feeling as well as I hoped I would at...

    This same thing happened to me. After I had been gluten-free for about a month and a half I began having dizzy spells and lightheadedness. On top of this, I also developed the sensation of having pressure on my chest. I am now 5 months gluten-free and this has gotten much better!

    I can definitely relate! I was diagnosed with celiac disease in November after suffering from GI issues. After I had been gluten-free for about 2 months I started experiencing that "lump in my throat" sensation. It did seem to be worse after eating or swallowing pills but generally, I felt it all of the time. My doctor put me on PPI's thinking it was related...

    Ok, so I was diagnosed with celiac disease four months ago and have been gluten-free ever since. Some symptoms have improved but I still feel nauseous and just generally sick a lot of the time. My GI doctor re-tested my antibody levels and they were in the normal range. My doctor said that since my antibodies are in the normal range my symptoms must be...

    So I have been gluten free for about 3.5 months now and I was finally starting to feel pretty good. Last weekend I had a couple shots of Jim Beam Whiskey and I have been sick ever since. I have read a lot of conflicting information on whether or not it is possible to have a reaction from distilled beverages. Have any of you been "glutened" from whiskey...

    Thank you all for the replies! I really appreciate it!

    Hello, it's me again! So I have been gluten-free for 3 months after Celiac diagnosis. I am 25 and I was sick about 3 years prior to diagnosis. The recovery process has been extremely slow and has been full of many ups and downs. I assume the damage to my small intestine was pretty bad because the Dr who did my Endoscopy told me he was already sure...

    When I woke up from my Endoscopy and was told I definitely had celiac disease the first thing I asked my doctor was do I need to get all new kitchen stuff? He assured me that I did not, and as long as my pots and pans and everything else was washed after being used to cook gluten I would have no problems. Well, I'm 10 weeks into my gluten-free diet and still...

    I have had a very similar experience to yours. Previously to my celiac disease diagnosis, I had mild abdominal cramping and a little bit of occasional nausea and fatigue, but that was it. I ended up getting tested for celiac because I also had mucose in my stool which I guess is a sign of inflammation. I have now been gluten free for 2 and a half months...

    I have been gluten free since I was diagnosed 10 weeks ago. I have noticed a slight improvement in some of my symptoms but other symptoms seem to be staying the same or maybe even getting worst. I have also had the worst nausea almost every single time I eat for the past month. Does this sound like a normal part of the healing process? I am getting so...

    So I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease exactly a month ago today through blood work and biopsy. I have been on a strict gluten-free diet ever since, I have only eaten food I have cooked myself, and I am sure I have not had any sort of cross-contamination problems. I have also been avoiding dairy and oats. The vast majority of my diet is fruits, veggies...
