Comments on: My Celiac Story http://www.myfavouritenumber.ca/?p=743 diabetes, celiac and the rest of my life Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:01:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Stacy http://www.myfavouritenumber.ca/?p=743&cpage=1#comment-4928 Stacy Wed, 05 May 2010 17:37:43 +0000 http://www.myfavouritenumber.ca/?p=743#comment-4928 It was a pleasure to read your story. My daughter was dxd type 1 on 11-27-2004. She has complained about stomach pain for years. She is tired ALL the time and our BS, which were pretty good, are now going bananas. So i read about a lot of people who have the test come back negative, but after a biopsy find out that they do have it. The biopsy has to be requested and fought for, from what i understand. But her stomach has always hurt. and she is sooooo tired. irritable, but shes 13 so i wasnt sure if it was the tummy or just being 13. I know this is whats going on with her. Thanks for your post. It always helps moms to read about stories with positive outcomes. You have obviously embraced your new life and are a better person for it..........healthier as well :) Stacy -- Omaha It was a pleasure to read your story. My daughter was dxd type 1 on 11-27-2004.

I remember my stomach was so bloated it was hard to breathe and I would have to hunch over from the sharp pains...and I thought that was normal! Only when I had bad rashes did I even go see a doctor because I had no idea there was any other way to feel! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better now being gluten free :)! - Jessika : <a href="http://www.celiacspeaks.com" rel="nofollow">Celiac Speaks - My Personal Notes</a> I completely understand, I had extreme stomach pain too but I thought it just was the normal digestion process.

Nice to know you where diagnosed. There are so many of my clients that are gluten intolerant or celiac with additional issues. Many of them can't even get a diagnosis from physicians because the tests aren't accurate until well into the disease or intolerance. Keep up the good work. Stay on track.

I was chatting with my GI doc friend last night and he was explaining what he does to other people, and this time, I listened :) He was saying 3 out of 4 Aussies that have CD don't know. Good thing your doc tested you for it. He's trialling a vaccine as treatment for it now. He was joking that if you wanted help, you're more than welcome to fly out and see him. your timing is perfect.
