How does one know if they have Celiac Disease (think I might have it but not sure) & what foods can I eat? |
Hi, I've had digestive issues for several years now, and I'm starting to think I might have Celiac Disease since I eat alot of whole wheat bread and whole wheat flour tortillas etc. and I still have digestive issues and get lots of headaches almost on a daily basis. I know people with Celiac disease need to avoid certain things, like wheat and products containing gluten, but what else should be avoided? Also, I love Pamela's food line and know her stuff is gluten free, but what are some other good brands for people that suffer from Celiac Disease and where can I buy them? Thanks, I kinda hope I do have Celiac so I can finally figure out what's been causing all my digestive issues all these years and can finally do something about it. Getting tested involves cutting a small piece of digestive tract and most Celiac do not actually get tested. They eliminate the suspected foods and by the process of elimination come to the conclusion that they are wheat intolerant. There are LOTS of websites with products, recipes and such. My Mom is Celiac and I make her pizza dough, cakes, and cookies trying to perfect my recipes (I love to cook). She was able to get good information from a Celiac group that meets at the local hospital. Congrats on recognizing the symptoms and I know you will feel so much better. Be careful there is gluten in almost EVERYTHING. Go to your doctor and ask to be tested. Hi there, i certainly don't mean to tell you what to do, but i think that it is really important for you to see your doctor and tell them your concerns and they might send you for blood tests, but you need to stipulate that you want to be tested for Coeliac because with normal blood tests they test your blood for a multidude of things where as the Coeliac blood test is one specific blood test. |
