Lucky for us there are so many good resources out there now. &nbsp;Good luck and share any really good products/ideas you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1169971 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 04:35:28 +0000 anne 1169971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My main worry (now I have had a few months to research, follow up recs and think it over) is the whole hospitality thing - going over to other people's houses. Because while people easily grasp not eating bread or pasta (except for gluten free types) the tiny amounts in so many other foods are less obvious. I think we'll be find eating at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1169968 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 04:32:27 +0000 anne 1169968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Ruth - I've had a good browse through the site you recommended - thanks.</p> <p>Claire I was anaemic a few months ago (which in itself was only picked up because I had tried to donate blood) and celiac came up as a positive in all the blood tests I got to try to work out why. So that was the only sign. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1169943 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 03:50:47 +0000 Anonymous 1169943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I can't remember if I wrote on your other thread or not, but my sympathies to you. I just finished a book on Celiac's disease and apparently some people are asymptomatic. Did you get tested because a family member was diagnosed with it?&nbsp;</p> <p>I've not been tested, partly because I've been off gluten for so long that I'd have to eat a bunch of it for several weeks--maybe months--&nbsp;to make sure the test was accurate, and I'm just not willing to ever eat it again because it makes me so miserable. I'm completely grain free right now, and I've never felt better. I hope you have a smooth transition to the GF lifestyle. My thoughts and prayers are with you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1168078 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:00:19 +0000 JayS 1168078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes as you start your journey into a gluten-free life. I've been gluten free for a while by choice. You'll still have amazing food available to you. If you search for paleo or whole 30 recipes, you'll be amazed at how many delicious recipes pop up. Pinterest is a wonderful source for recipes. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1167977 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:55:48 +0000 ruthe 1167977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...you say you didn't feel unwell before the diagnosis? After starting the gluten-free diet you may be surprised at how well you DO feel. I was diagnosed 24 years ago and feel I have amassed quite a bit of information, tips and hints about living gluten free. If I can ever be of any assist I'm only an e-mail away. One of my favorite site for recipes is <a href="http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com" rel="nofollow">http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com</a> . Good health and be safe.&nbsp; xoxo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1167532 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 05:37:00 +0000 anne 1167532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the empathy and advice.

At least now, as opposed to ten years ago, there are a lot of options in the natural food stores for those with celiac. So I'm hoping you'll be able to find tasty alternatives for whatever you can't have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1167075 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 21:13:35 +0000 Sara L. 1167075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My grandmother didn't learn she had it until she was in her 70's. &nbsp;All those years of being sick that could have been easily prevented. &nbsp;Anyway, I'm sure you'll be feeling better now that you know what to stay away from. &nbsp;Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1167072 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 21:10:05 +0000 Eliza 1167072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad that you have the information you need to feel better; sorry that you have this "on your plate" though. &nbsp;Best with it all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1167033 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:31:33 +0000 Lyn D. 1167033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That took a while, but good to know for sure now.<br />You are certainly not alone!</p> <p>If you can't get hold of the Ceoliac Society Ingredient list book I have an (old) spare I can send to you- it is small enough to keep in your bag when you go grocery shopping.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1166776 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 16:43:57 +0000 rachylou 1166776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll a feel tons better now that you can get your diet sorted out.

Many people can spend a lifetime not knowing, because the symptoms can be so vague or&nbsp;generic that even their doctors don't suspect it.</p> <p>Please don't worry a second. We are here.&nbsp;Honestly, as soon as your energy levels recover, you won't think once that gluten-free life is&nbsp;difficult.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just ask about whatever seems like a puzzle&nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coelic-disease---update#post-1166501 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 08:37:51 +0000 anne 1166501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of months ago I posted here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/celiac-disease" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ac-disease</a> that I may have celiac disease. I got the results of the endoscopy today and learnt that I do indeed definitely have it. I'll be going back to all the helpful advice you gave me then! Thanks! </p>
