Personally as a coeliac my preference would be to date another coeliac as it would make life soo much easier, but like you said - you love, who you love.
It would certainly make life so much easier, wouldn't it? I have heard of some dating sites that are for people with various food issues, including celiac disease. But from what I've read, the people are few and far between, making the dating options pretty sparse.
It might be controversial to say, but I think that for anyone who didn't get CD as a child, it may be possible to prevent getting it. 1) Genetic test - to know that you are susceptible. 2) Low gluten - not cutting it out completely. Replacing with other grains to maintain vitamins and microbiome diversity, so the microbes which help to break down gluten arent lost. 3) Low lactose - But maintaining lactobacillus and bifidobacterium through goats milk or diary free alturnative products as they help to digest gluten. 4) Oligosaccharides - being mindful of oligosaccharides (eg raw onion and garlic) and other complex food molicules that only get fully digested towards the end of the digestive tract. These foods put more strain on the small intestine and if they don't get digested within a timely manner could cause bloating and irratation. 5) Giving you gut time to rest and repair - not eating too soon before bed for instance. Equally getting away from the desk and moving around a bit before eating to get the metabolism going and to allow gravity to help your body with digestion. 6) Mucus membranes - these membranes protect the villi. Making sure that you don't get too dehydrated, maintaining good hormone levels and histamine levels should help with this, especially for women in their 40's. 7) All of the above is more important when you're stressed. Ultimately, it's a really difficult list to keep up and it wouldn't guarantee that hou didn't end up getting coeliac disease anyway.
So interesting isn't it? I think what you've shared makes a lot of sense. But on the other hand, I can't imagine many people wanting to live such a strict life 'in case' it triggers their celiac disease. Thanks for your your insights.
Thanks for your input. Of all the things that could have caused my classic symptoms, Celiac Disease was without a doubt the best-case scenario. All I had to do was change my diet. No medicine, surgery or debilitating side effects. It was at most "INCONVENIENT" and nothing else. I actually got my life back to a place it had never been before. My under-weight, bad complexion. lack of strength and brain-fog were a thing of the past. I have now enjoyed almost 20 years of very good health and lifestyle. The only problem I can see now is the slow diagnosing process that currently is in place. This idea of physically harming yourself to get a positive diagnosis makes no sense at all. I was probably having symptoms at least 10 years before my diagnosis in 2005. That being said I am still grateful for my current situation. As far as preventing Celiac from happening no, it cannot be done but you can stop the process asap by going on the diet before too much damage is done and get on with your new lifestyle with or without an official diagnosis.
Yes I totally agree with you that a celiac disease diagnosis can be a fantastic result when we look at it as a blessing to becoming well and healthy again. The diagnosing process is not ideal and there's talk about it being a simpler process (hopefully soon) - my next episode I'm covering off about the diagnosing process and it sounds so silly telling people to eat gluten when they know how poorly it makes them feel, but at the moment it's the only way to get the correct diagnosis. Thanks so much for your comment here, I appreciate it.
