You are an absolute treasure Kitty! Again, thank you so much for all the wisdom and guidance. I'm over three years into my celiac journey and I just feel terrible, so I knew something had to be wrong despite my bloodwork being OK. So I bought a home glucose monitor and sure enough it seems my blood sugar is spiking quite high which is probably leading...

Hi Kitty, I think my numbers are a bit high. Some sites say I'm on the high end of normal and some sites say I'm normal. Jan 23rd Pre-Supper = 5.5 mmol / Jan 2rd 2Hrs After Supper = 7.1 mmol Jan 24th Morning After Fast = 5.7 mmol / Jan 24th 2Hrs After Breakfast = 9.2 mmol / Jan 24th Pre-Supper = 5.6 mmol Did you experience blood sugar...

Hello Everyone Just started my fourth year gluten free after a very late celiac diagnosis. I'm noticing that I either get dehydrated very easily or I have trouble absorbing nutrients. I'll explain... I was always a huge water drinker, many litres a day. But ever since going gluten free and trying to heal, the more water I drink, the more it flushes...

Oh wow. You suffered for a long time too! You must have had "silent" symptoms like me where I didn't vomit or have diarrhea. I'm glad to hear your neuro symptoms are improving. My progress is so slow it's agonizing. Yeah, from what I've been reading an epilepsy diet is high fat/specific carbs (no gluten, grains or starch). I'm not sure it would help...

Wow.. Eye opening is right... I wonder why I can't seem to find a doctor who knows any of this? I likely had celiac all my life and it was only found when I was 35. Almost 4 years into a strict gluten-free diet and household, I'm still physically disabled from all my neurological symptoms. But my GI doc and even my neurologist say I'm fine... I wonder...

Hello Everyone I'm coming up on three years gluten free after being diagnosed with celiac and likely having it all my life (I was very sick by the time I got my diagnosis). I made my first attempt to eat out again after going gluten-free three years ago and... I got glutened But what's shocking me is how bad the neurological symptoms and anxiety...

What Causes Villous Atrophy Besides Celiac Disease?

Thanks so much for replying! Yes, my antibody test was through the roof, unfortunately. And I had total villas atrophy.- 13 comments

What Causes Villous Atrophy Besides Celiac Disease?
CharlesBronson commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
So if I had a positive antibody blood test, I definitely have celiac and there's no chance it could be non-celiac enteropathy?- 13 comments

Hello everyone, The good news is that my celiac is now in remission judging by my latest endoscopy/biopsy. The bad news is a colonoscopy shows colitis. Now, I'm assuming it's no ulcerative as my GI doc said my colon looks great. So, I'm assuming it's microscopic. I don't really know much about it, though. Had anyone gone through a celiac diagnosis...

So my biopsy results show that my villi have now returned to normal. Does that mean that my celiac is healed??? It sure doesn't feel healed. Biopsy also said there's "near normal duodenal mucosa with focal active inflammation, non specific." In the comments it says it's neutrophilic inflammation likely from a peptic injury?? Can anyone help...

Hello Everyone, This may be an odd question, but is it possible that as we heal from celiac, we start absorbing more caffeine as well? Thus becoming more sensitive to its effects. I've been a coffee drinker for much of my adulthood and switched to tea years ago in order to consume less caffeine. But in the last month, I'm just unable to tolerate...
