Hello, to those of you who are Celiac and/or GF intolerant,
I was diagnosed as having Celiac Disease almost 3 years ago...which was what they called "latent" since my many tests during other problems never showed that in my blood work or even a biopsy given of my liver, or the biopsy of my gall bladder that was removed. Needless to say, the medical testing for us is still in the process of "getting a better control". The important part is how "you" are feeling, your own personal assessment between you and your Dr. Everyone who is a Celiac does not have the same symptoms...there are over 100 types of symptoms in the real world. And of course there is the GF intolerance, which is more typically symptomatic in its own right. I am a member of a great Celiac site which has so much information concerning this disease. It is called Celiac.com and has a great deal of inforamtion especially for those first few months of going GF. Remember that no question or problem you are having is ever considered "insignificant"....this is something I am learning and dealing with my Dr's on a better communication. Blessings in your desire to feel better and live well. Joanie |

I am pretty careful about what I eat, and, yes! it's ridiculous all what contains gluten! Mostly I eat meat (local, organic and not grain-fed) and veggies and fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. I try to include flax, chia and hemp in most things I prepare. I have GF bread in the freezer, but don't eat much of it. I would be in bad shape if I was allergic to shea! My son-in-law is from Ghana, where they make it, and they often give me a few pounds of it. I make my soap with it, and use it as a body moisturizer. My skin is so dry, it drinks it right up.

This is the first time I have looked at this forum. I have Parkinsons Disease and a member of the PD forum. In December I have bad intestinal crisis after consuming way too much delicious freshly ground kamut grain sourdough bread that I had started making. Gas and bloating extreme/ eyes became dry red and painful and I felt so bad. I had been almost gluten free before September when I received the sourdough starter for this wonderful bread and started making it. I went to the health department and she concurred that it very well could all be stemming from celiac or sensitivity...either way try going gluten free again. I am still making the bread for others that love it. Managed to not eat any for several weeks. This week ate a corner that broke off when I was bagging sliced bread for a friend...and within hours my eyes hurt and were so red and dry again...hadn't had that for several weeks...arthritis flared worse also and bloating discomfort.. Not fun is it??? Have created a few recipes and tried some from books that work well and will share some when I have time if you all have a recipe post...gotta go See ya soon Aunt Bean

Hello,
My husband's family has celiac disease and both he and my daughter have celiac disease. My husband's sister thought that she had celiac disease but after getting tested it ended up that she had an ulcer that mimicked the symptoms...all she had to do was to take care of the ulcer. She doesn't need to eat gluten free. I would definitely get tested but you have to be eating gluten for a few weeks before the test. BTW our pediatrician also told me that our daughter didn't have CD. I just stood firm and told him that I wanted to blood test--period. It is a genetic disease. Best to you, |
