I did not get properly diagnosed until age 50... and so much damage is done... even being strictly gluten free is not enough to be well. Eating out at a restaurant is a guarantee of feeling sick for days afterwards. So many doctors dismissed my symptoms: "Oh, you people with IBS are all the same". Or: "You're just depressed." Yeah, depressed when you are sick all the damn time!! Thank You, Jennifer!!
@@dania2369 Make sure you stay off the gluten, if you are a Celiac patient! It's hard, believe me I know (I'm Italian and miss real pizza and pasta every day...) You can't put a price on your health.
I went to the ER 10 times in 1 year. Diagnosed with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, gallbladder, and lots of other things. By the time I saw a GI who took one look and said he thought I had celiacs, I was hooked on klonopin and lexapro. Had I not kept searching for answers I would be dead right now. Celiac's causes so much damage not only to your GI tract but so many mental health disorders. Panic attacks and depression. Looking back I am quite sure my Mom had this also but went undiagnosed her entire life. She had all the symptoms also but never got the right doctor. It took almost 4 years of being Gluten Free and slowing coming off the Klonopin and Lexapro to get myself by to normal.
I can relate to her so much. I literally felt like I was dying and every time I'd go to the ER or my doctor they kept telling me everything was okay, that I was just anemic and that I had anxiety. I had to ask my doctor for an endoscopy and that's when he saw lots of damage in my small intestine. I was so frustrated at the doctors, but I do realize this disease can be hard to diagnose because there are just so many symptoms.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have a family member who was diagnosed not long ago. My family and loved ones are very worried, especially because of the fact that food can cross contaminate and some gluten is left in a pan or plate and is used to cook again, then it will contaminate and hurt your intestine. I just hope that more restaurants are aware of this and cater their menu so that those who suffer the disease can enjoy a normal date night out!
Celiac disease is NOT like an allergy, it is a non-contagious autoimmune disease where eating gluten (wheat, rye and barley) causes your body to react. This kills the villi in your small intestines which can lead to short term effects such as panic attacks, extreme weight and hair loss, starvation and many more. Its can also lead to long term effects like numerous types if cancer. It is not something that should be taken lightly. It is a serious disease that deserves more attention from the people around us.
Technically it is an allergy. The body views gluten the same way that someone who’s allergic to peanuts would have a reaction if they are peanuts. The body views the gluten as an invader, and instead of causing an immune response like a peanut allergy (anaphylactic shock), it instead tries to expel the gluten from the body as fast as possible (by throwing up or pooping). There’s also the fact that the blood test for celiac tests for antibodies, and those antibodies are only present because of the immune response (which is the same as an allergic response in terms of how the body goes about everything - not including symptoms).
@@ew5601 An allergy involves much different parts of the immune system, whereas Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that involves IgA antibodies (allergic reactions produce IgE antibodies). Allergic responses cause no damage to the small intestine. Please do your research before telling other people about their own health issues.
@@emmaadams4433 I’m not saying the allergic response is what causes the intestinal damage. That’s probably from the body attacking the intestine and villi when trying to get gluten out of the body in form of throwing up or bowel movement and not the immune system response. Im currently in the process of doing research cause I haven’t known I had it for very long, so I could be wrong on some stuff and just haven’t read enough articles and books yet. I was just trying to make the point that from what I read, it’s possibly more similar to an allergy than you think it is. I have celiac, too, so it’s not like I’m telling you about “other peoples illnesses” or “their own health issues”, so no need to get all mad about that. And my point isn’t to argue or anything. I’ve just perceived, from the research that I’ve done, that it’s either super similar to allergies and isn’t one or is an actual allergy to some extent and is just a different type. Celiac is an immune response though, so I’m not really sure if you were trying to say it wasn’t and allergies are or if you were just trying to say it’s a different type of immune response.
Everyone should be tested for the DQ2 gene. 30-40% of the world* despite race or country of origin has this gene. Although 95% of celiacs have this gene (& having this gene doesn’t mean you will become celiac). It DOES mean that your body CANNOT tolerate gluten in it. You will end up with autoimmune disease if you continue eating gluten. An autoimmune disease that you may be unaware until it just kills you. Celiac disease has HIJACKED the gluten free diet. Autoantibodies to gluten though can attack cells in your pancreas and cause TYPE 1 diabetes. Your IGA making capabilities may eventually wear out because it’s what is needed to remove gluten and you may become IGA deficient and suffer from constant viral and bacterial infections. Autoantibodies can attack your cerebellum and you end up with MS. If you feel better on a GF diet and cannot afford to be tested for the gene ... stay on the Gluten free diet and tell people to F*ck*off If they don’t take you seriously just because you don’t have Celiac.
Literally ... 1/3 of type 1 diabetics have this gene. The other is DQ8 which may be responsible too for celiac disease so more investigation needs to be done on ALL autoimmune diseases and their relationship with gluten. I know someone who has not had any symptoms of Parkinson’s disease after going gluten free as well as someone healing themselves after being in a wheel chair from a MS diagnosis and going gluten free. Celiacs need to do more advocating. Not just for their own condition but against Gluten in general and advocating for genetic tests and educating themselves further beyond their limited knowledge about celiac disease alone
I find it ironic that this was posted 5 years ago and the comment made is “you were diagnosed at a time where maybe there wasn’t as much awareness about celiac disease”. But here it is 2022 and it still took me 21 years to get diagnosed with celiac disease. No doctor would listen/ look at all my symptoms as a whole and instead I got diagnosed with a bunch of other things when in reality I had a autoimmune disease that was slowly killing me. The awareness has not grown any it seems like in the past 5 years and it’s sad to see how many individuals struggle because no one wants to listen to us. Yes more people have been educated sure, but still doctors aren’t listening and still pushed me to get tested for Gastroparesis and told me I just had IBS, anxiety, depression, was lazy, chronic fatigue etc the list goes on. When all along I had celiac disease.
This is true with a lot of allergies. I cut out dairy and no longer have pain in my joints. Keep trying don't give up. I was told I probably have arthritis. Cut out dairy and no issue. Don't just jump to a conclusion take pain meds find the really answer. Good luck every one. Don't give up hope.
She describes some of the symptoms I have with Celiac. I feel so lucky to have a great primary care doctor and gastroenterologist who know so much about Celiac. I am getting the care I need to keep an eye on things and help with the other issues that have been caused by it.
Years ago my husband was diagnosed with celiac…I had to learn a whole new way of cooking for him. Then time passed and they decided it was a gallbladder issue so it was removed…then after that…back to celiac diagnosis. I’ve just ordered Jennifer’s new cookbook Jennifer’s Way Kitchen. I don’t have celiac and I’m divorced but there a lot of healthy recipes in it for anyone.
So excited that people are talking about celiac. When I was diagnosed I was so relieved. It took over eight months for the doctors to test for it and figure out what I had. I love when people talk about this.
This story is so similar to many out there. I was diagnosed at age 30. In and out of the hospital, anxiety meds, test after test, rushing to the ER and through it all I was being told by several doctors, "we don't know what this is," then finally someone in the ER gave me a referral to a GI doctor whare they tested me. 3 years later from my first hospital visit.
my celiac kicked in after the birth of my second child two years ago. my maternal grandmother has had it since 1984 and 80% of my mothers family has it! i was anemic, dry brittle hair and nails. my tooth enamel was thinning and becoming painful, my joints were so stiff and i would be constipated for 10 DAYS with horrid bloat. long story short, my insurance ( good ol' America) would not cover the cost of an endoscopy and biopsy. My amazing obgyn ordered a full blood test and a gene test in his office. my blood work was off the charts! white cells up, liver enzymes up, iron and b12 tanked and D3 levels low. gene test came back with all the markers and mutations that were needed to inherit Celiac. after strict gluten free diet for 8 months my blood works looks good. i ended up needing to use a sunbed off and on to really get those D3 levels up but they are finally recovered. sadly my enamel will never come back so i am religious about dental care. that and my joints flare up from time to time but i feel 75%-80% better

My 8 year old has celiac disease. Very difficult to see how it affects him and also all of the things he misses out on. Birthday parties and other gatherings . But I'm glad we found out sooner than later . He's doing a great job. He is very aware of his situation but I have realized, just as you spoke of, how people kind of see it as trendy or a fad to go gluten free when the reality is celiac truly cannot eat gluten. I have been very vocal about it and I hope I'm spreading some awareness
I don't have celiac but I am allergic to wheat. I was having the same symptoms as celiac but my doctor only thought to test me for celiac. I went on my own and got allergy tests done by an allergy doctor and discovered that I am allergic to wheat, corn, nuts, soy and sesame. You have to pay attention to all your symptoms and push your doctors for the right tests.
Cami Winters, You probably know this, but their is a tolerance level 0-120 -120 was the highest- And if you have 0-3 you don’t have celiac. If you do have 3, you could be sensitive to gluten.
Celiac sucks so bad. I wasn't diagnosed tol 35 and now at 41 I still suffer from not knowing for so long. I am so glad Jennifer is bringing this to more public knowledge. On my to buy book right now....
I was diagnosed with a TIA stroke at the age of 21. Was prescribed high cholesterol meds and was on blood thinners for almost 6 months. The meds made me feel terrible. I went to at least 10 different doctors before finally demanding to be tested for this disease. Turns out I have it (as well as my wife we both figured out together lol) but gluten was the cause of this crazy "stroke" episode I had. Im glad I finally have answers now, but it's really tough living like this. Glad to have more representation out there!
I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, as well as having it confirmed with a biopsy, it is amazing how much life improves cutting gluten out of the diet. When I went to the doctor initially from the symptoms they had mentioned the possibility of Crohn's disease, I will take the lesser of two evils lol.
She is still beautiful, but I just started watching Spin City this year. Jennifer was on for 2 full seasons in 1997 and 1998. She was like 25 and 26. I remember the name in the 90s, but didn’t know who she was. My goodness she was stunningly beautiful on Spin City. Her comedy acting was also GREAT. I wish she had never left the show.
Thank you for your commitment to better the Celiac community! I really appreciate the work you're doing. I was diagnosed at the start of 2017 and it has been no easy ride! Had a ton of difficulty finding doctors who could treat me. I am just now on the road to getting the answers I need so that I can get on with my life and be healthier. Your story, like so many others, leaves me feeling hopeful for my future. Thank you for sharing!
I had a long time of issues from neuropathies etc and was in the hospital for heart palpitations and they said it was just anxiety and i needed to learn breathing techniques. I don't have any history of anxiety and now that I'm completely gluten free after being diagnosed I don't experience heart palpitations anymore!

I am Celiac for the last 2 years and for the previous year before that I couldn't figure out why I kept having such bad diarrhea. It took me one doctor finally diagnosing me with Hashimoto's thyroid issues and then sending me to a different doctor for the Celiac or I found a great endocrinologist the finally diagnosed me and got me on the road to health. For me not eating regular bread for the first month wasn't that hard I found. The day I got diagnosed I went to my local health food store found a great book a celiac disease and educated myself and it's been a hard road for the first 6-8 months of trying to stick to a diet where you can't eat your regular bread all your favorite foods anymore. But overall I feel great now.

I had GI issues for years. The Doc said " I don't believe you are Celiac, or Lactose in tolerant..." Had tests done -- you ajust have IBS.... However I had my allergies tested after 3 years of gluten free and mostly Dairy free.. and I am allergic to wheat, barley and lactose.. I feel way better not eating Gluten for these reasons. People would say well are you Celiac, then you don't need to be... - but what do they know. It's my body, I choose what to put into it.

Celiac sucks!!! And even worse when someone is just doing cause they want to diet and you try to explain what it's really like and how you need to avoid basically everything processed they look at me like I'm crazy. This is not a health fad...this is functioning life or feeling like your dying when it gets into your system
I am sure by the time doctors become doctors all their brain cells get destroyed. They compile so much data both useful and useless into their noggin only to have it implode when they try to help patients. I mean if I was training to become a doctor I figure that would happen sooner or later. Most humans only do well with so much data. If we could get doctors away from using pharmaceuticals to treat and instead referring patients to testing facilities and lifestyle medicine doctors. Then maybe we could see better health outcomes. Getting to the root cause of illness should be a priority of every doctor. Although 15-30 minutes ain't cutting it. We need at least 2 hours with doctors.

@@marley7659 Doctors are the kids from school who crawled into teachers recti (terminology to avoid YT censoring) and just injected themselves with useless garbage of knowledge like heroin addicts on withdrawal, only to end up being still fact learning wh○res and yet having the audacity to be overwhelmed from doing exactly the same things all over again. The actually smart ones who reasoned logically from first principles ever since school ended up as research specialists never to be seen in a public health office but in a university department. Doctors offices for the public only get the resultant waste left over. The solution is simple: make them go through 4 semesters of mathematics and meta-mathematics, including theoretical computer science, to learn how to properly think and not be a parroting chicken.
I was an early diagnosis I’m 47 and was diagnosed at 46 I am strict and am fine.I don’t let it control me and frankly hate talking about it every time I sit down to eat with people.I am ripped and I have never worked out.Accidents happen but you either suck it up or you let a diet or symptom rule your life.You’re all going to be fine.Especially if you’re lucky enough to have an early diagnosis. Watch out for the GF alternatives.They have cola levels of sugar to bind them I eat very few grains at all Follow the diet and outlive everyone around you
I would say I fall in the category of almost symptomless celiac. For me I get bad eczema. I have stomach problems that vary due to the quantity of gluten I eat. I have problems with dizziness and iron deficiency anemia. None of these things were particularly notable since I had them my whole life and just assumed my other poor habits caused this. I took out gluten a few years ago and I haven't been consistent with it. As a result a lot of my symptoms return if I slip up. My main problem is that I have never gotten tested and I can never be tested due to the repercussions.
Your symptoms with time WILL worsen if you don’t cut it completely. Just because you have no diagnosis does not mean you do not have a serious condition. You already know that gluten worsens it.

I had to ASK my doctor to test me for Coeliac Disease. I also had to ASK to be tested for low B12 levels. Both came back positive. Unless Coeliac Disease sufferers investigate their own symptoms and ASK their G.P. most if not all will misdiagnose you. They will think it's anxiety, depression, diet, gastroenteritis, food allergies, food poisoning, appendicitis, viral infection, exercise...the list goes on. The last thing they think of is Coeliac Disease. If I didn't ASK to be tested, I'd still be struggling to this day, even if you aren't getting all the symptoms but feel that it could be Coeliac Disease, just ask to be tested and rule it out. So many more people to this day are walking around with undiagnosed Coeliac Disease. Simple blood test is all it takes, if positive, then go for the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy together.
It's literally the fact that i had every symptom she had. Severe,severe Anxiety and Panic Attacks. Skin boils and rashes that wouldn't go away even with medication. Acid reflux after food ,Bloating and Brain Fog. My 2 front teeth were about to fall. I'm glad we live in the age of information because after researching,I stopped eating wheat and all my symptoms went away. Just Like That.
Maybe you should focus on the fact that a lot of people say they have celiac disease when in fact they don't. A lot of people are eating gluten free because they think it will prevent celiac. But you can't catch celiac
UGH! Quite literally the most common misconception. It sucks when you go to get GF foods at the grocery and there's nothing left because all of the non celiacs who CHOOSE to eat GF as a fad diet make it so difficult for people who actually are effected by CD. Makes me so angry! I bet if they had CD for a day just to see what it was really like, they wouldn't pretend like they do and make up self-diagnoses. They'd give anything to NOT have to put up with the crippling side effects and the inability to eat so many things that us celiacs would love to eat but simply cannot. Thanks for your comment Gloria. I agree that this is something that needs to be discussed and focused on.
@@AGuideToTheWorld "They just feel better when they done eat it" I'm not a gluten fan myself. I don't get why you have such difficult finding anything else to eat. I used to be vegan. My cousin makes her own GF breads, etc. Maybe you'll deepen your grocery shopping regimen.
Jack Wyann It’s not that I have a difficult time finding “anything else to eat.” I eat a well-balanced GF diet. The point I am trying to make is that access to GF options is rather limited where I live. I get by, but fad diets are a big thing around here and people “eating gluten free for fun” is one of them. For people like myself that don’t have a choice, access to foods that Celiacs NEED is difficult. Not to mention, it’s expensive! I’m sure your cousin can attest to the fact that GF ingredients for breads etc. aren’t cheap.
@@squiddytourmaline5713 hey! You dont have to apologize. Eat gluten free. You need it if you are celiac and you definitely should advocate for yourself. I have celiac but I don t have intense symptoms when glutened. That still doesnt mean that I can go and eat it. I still strictly eat gluten free and I never cheat because I know my health will be worth it. You do what you need to do!
What does that have to do with anything? The serotonin in your gut stays in your gut. Serotonin does not cross the blood brain barrier. You brain makes the serotonin it needs. You have serotonin in virtually every cell in your body.
I've had digestive problems since I finished menopause and had my gall bladder out. I've always had chronic depression and anxiety but it got bad in postmenopause. Then one day I was looking at some information on the internet and it said 95% of our serotonin is made in the intestine. I was like dang all this struggle with constipation, pain when eating and bloating has to be messing up my serotonin products even more than normal.
@@TheGalwayfan 95% of serotonin is produced in the intestines. If the intestinal tract is struggling and damaged there would have to be some correlation with issues with serotonin production.
Thank goodness for people who speak up about there being more than just one health issue that would prompt people to go gluten free! Celiac disease is one, the contamination she referenced is real in the form of the damage that glysophate/round up and other pesticides cause... other autoimmune issues, lymes the list is long and the physician wants to talk about non celiacs that are going gluten free in a negative way🙄
I didn’t hear anything about the effects on the body from vitamins/nutrients deficiency created by CD. A huge amount of disease/syndromes are being Triggered by malabsorption one that was disabling for me was transverse myelitis in which the same thing as Multiple Sclerosis lesions attack the spinal cord and even small brain lesions from B12 deficiency. Malnutrition is the greater problem and if the villi cant recover for multiple reasons this can be persistent malnutrition.

I may have this. Eating bread causes huge bloating, stomach pains, and hurting joints, and I have anemia. It seems celiac is much more common than we thought. And yet its such a part of food culture. Bread, pasta, cereal,
@@panama2468 I eat like 35mg iron per day due to lots of fish, potatoes, chickpeas, beans, lentils and spinach. Yet still, for all that my hematocrit is on the lowest norm, due to the accompanying gut issues. And the typical gas, bloating, ridiculous diarrhea, joint pain, fever feeling, and the f-ing fatigue out of all. Doc always pushed $$RI and similar p$ych meds, I told him to eat sh!t.
love is everything If you truly have celiac disease, you should stop eating gluten. You're right, it is slowly killing you. Not only that, but it can break through your intestinal walls after so much damage and travel through your blood stream. It then can reach your brain and cause you neurological problems. That to me is scary, so I avoid gluten like the plague.
What is going on with all this diseases and chronic illnesses and they are so hard to diagnosed God help us please and then they tell us your just crazy..🤯🤯🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yes, that is also very common - your lymph nodes are swollen because they are trying to filter your blood which is overloaded with all the unwanted absorbed products of digestion and inflammation. This stems from an inflamed gut, where the selective absorption malfunctions due to inflamed villi and failure of the tight junctions in the gut epithelial layer. Just like you have lymph nodes in your neck, you also have lymph nodes in your gut - they help with filtration of the products of digestion. Unfortunately when you have an inflamed gut, the lymph nodes around the gut are overworked - this causes the lymph nodes around the gut to not be able to function effectively, and they also become swollen. Next in line is your liver, the next filtration organ. Overtime the liver is also overworked, and cannot keep up with trying to filter the blood coming from the gut, and this unfiltered blood start circulating in your systemic circulation. Once there, the next filtration organs are your lymph nodes throughout the body - in your neck, under your arms/axilla, your groin etc. And the tissues in your body also gets irritated - so you get joint pain, or chronic sinusitis, or allergic conjunctivitis, or headaches etc. The primary irritant in the gut that causes these symptoms isn't necessarily always gluten. It can be anything, but there are common triggers like dairy (casein protein, not necessarily lactose), wheat and barley, certain nuts, grains, certain fruits etc. Also look at histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome. They can give similar symptoms to gluten sensitivity. All the best! Let me know if this helps if you like.
ur lucky when i got CD i lost the ability to break down dairy product.. I can only handle small of dairy now.. Ground beef or steak would crush my stomach..
That's so sad to hear you are still suffering from this same situation . Am feeling for you right now, I know of a doctor who can help you get rid of this. He also help me from this same situation , He can also help cure yours permanently

Just cut gluten and eat food that made by yourself and you should be fine, Back in time gluten wasnt as bad as its now , all grains that contain gluten is GMO thats why we got that celiac disease. I think its not our body issue its that gmo food the problem
If you can afford to stay home (or in your country), then it's fine. But if you need to travel to another country for work, it's really difficult. At some point of dealing with this disease most people have moments where depression kicks in and you just wish to end your life.
omg this is what I'm going through no answers and I'm getting stomach pain and issues it's not the gallbladder or pancrease its still undiagnosed how scary now IMA look up celiac disease I have had three panic attacks everything😢
It could also be food allergies. See my comment above. Also I had a bad gallbladder for years. The only definitive test for the gallbladder is called a Hida scan. On me they did upper g.i. with contrast, MRI, etc. and told me my gallbladder was fine. I insisted on the HIDA scan it showed that my gallbladder was only functioning at 23% and they took it out 1 week later.
omg this is scary they are finally going to do a Hiatus scan this week wow i hope i find out whats going on so many ultrasounds showing no calcified stones u about want to die because people think your imagining the pain and this pain is so real i get hot sweaty heart palpitations stomach pain right side pain with lower right lumbar stabbing pain its like no other fire stabbing pinching pain ive ever felt and still undiagnosed ??!!!

It is not genetic. It is caused by Tylenol and Aspirin. All of my siblings have the same gene as me. However, they never have gluten sensitivity. But I have gluten sensitivity. I did not know it was caused by Tylenol and Aspirin till 20 years later. My first huge reaction was when I was in college. I could not sleep and took a lot of Tylenol PM so I could sleep. After abusing the medication for two years I ended up with gluten sensitivity. My indigestion was so severe that my vomit ripped the end of my esophagus. I stopped eating gluten for 20 years, but still occasionally have indigestion problems. However, 3 years ago I found out that Tylenol and Aspirin could cause other autoimmune deceases such as MS or Lupus. From that date on, I have stayed off both Tylenol and Aspirin, and my indigestion problems have became less and less each day. Lately, I have been introducing some gluten back into my diet and I feel just fine. Not more bloating, cramping, and diarrhea.
It's the malnutrition you acquire from intestinal damage that affects the rest of your body. No intestinal damage equals psychosomatic symptoms. Sorry folks but it's true. Minute traces of gluten won't leave you writhing in pain on the floor either. It takes years for your intestines to get damaged enough for that. That said, I avoid it as much as I can but I know I won't drop dead in a restaurant if I accidentally get some cross contamination. It just doesn't work that way. Ms Esposito is overdramatic. I believe she should be under the care of a good psychiatrist. She's a nutcase who can't keep a job. I threw her book in the trash about a month ago. No one wanted it
TheGalwayfan I can vouch for everything she has said. Do you even have coeliac disease? Because I do and what she is talking about is absolutely correct and I suffer dearly every day.
I have many symptoms yet the only deficiency I have from having celiac is iron deficiency. The rest of my blood work is fine but I still suffer even being gluten free.
I did not get properly diagnosed until age 50... and so much damage is done... even being strictly gluten free is not enough to be well. Eating out at a restaurant is a guarantee of feeling sick for days afterwards. So many doctors dismissed my symptoms: "Oh, you people with IBS are all the same". Or: "You're just depressed." Yeah, depressed when you are sick all the damn time!! Thank You, Jennifer!!
Is it true it affect fertility ? Do you have kids ?
@@dania2369 It is true. I have one child, but before I had him, I had 2 miscarriages. :(
@@FilmArtPhoto im sorry about that , Im worried now cuz i really want kids .
@@dania2369 Make sure you stay off the gluten, if you are a Celiac patient! It's hard, believe me I know (I'm Italian and miss real pizza and pasta every day...) You can't put a price on your health.
Were you able to gain weight after going gluten free? Celiac made me extremely underweight:(
I went to the ER 10 times in 1 year. Diagnosed with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, gallbladder, and lots of other things. By the time I saw a GI who took one look and said he thought I had celiacs, I was hooked on klonopin and lexapro. Had I not kept searching for answers I would be dead right now. Celiac's causes so much damage not only to your GI tract but so many mental health disorders. Panic attacks and depression. Looking back I am quite sure my Mom had this also but went undiagnosed her entire life. She had all the symptoms also but never got the right doctor. It took almost 4 years of being Gluten Free and slowing coming off the Klonopin and Lexapro to get myself by to normal.
And these swines blame everything on magical mental disorders from absolutely nowhere.
I can relate to her so much. I literally felt like I was dying and every time I'd go to the ER or my doctor they kept telling me everything was okay, that I was just anemic and that I had anxiety. I had to ask my doctor for an endoscopy and that's when he saw lots of damage in my small intestine. I was so frustrated at the doctors, but I do realize this disease can be hard to diagnose because there are just so many symptoms.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have a family member who was diagnosed not long ago. My family and loved ones are very worried, especially because of the fact that food can cross contaminate and some gluten is left in a pan or plate and is used to cook again, then it will contaminate and hurt your intestine. I just hope that more restaurants are aware of this and cater their menu so that those who suffer the disease can enjoy a normal date night out!
Me too. It’s humbling.
Celiac disease is NOT like an allergy, it is a non-contagious autoimmune disease where eating gluten (wheat, rye and barley) causes your body to react. This kills the villi in your small intestines which can lead to short term effects such as panic attacks, extreme weight and hair loss, starvation and many more. Its can also lead to long term effects like numerous types if cancer. It is not something that should be taken lightly. It is a serious disease that deserves more attention from the people around us.
Technically it is an allergy. The body views gluten the same way that someone who’s allergic to peanuts would have a reaction if they are peanuts. The body views the gluten as an invader, and instead of causing an immune response like a peanut allergy (anaphylactic shock), it instead tries to expel the gluten from the body as fast as possible (by throwing up or pooping). There’s also the fact that the blood test for celiac tests for antibodies, and those antibodies are only present because of the immune response (which is the same as an allergic response in terms of how the body goes about everything - not including symptoms).
@@ew5601 An allergy involves much different parts of the immune system, whereas Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that involves IgA antibodies (allergic reactions produce IgE antibodies). Allergic responses cause no damage to the small intestine. Please do your research before telling other people about their own health issues.
@@emmaadams4433 I’m not saying the allergic response is what causes the intestinal damage. That’s probably from the body attacking the intestine and villi when trying to get gluten out of the body in form of throwing up or bowel movement and not the immune system response. Im currently in the process of doing research cause I haven’t known I had it for very long, so I could be wrong on some stuff and just haven’t read enough articles and books yet. I was just trying to make the point that from what I read, it’s possibly more similar to an allergy than you think it is. I have celiac, too, so it’s not like I’m telling you about “other peoples illnesses” or “their own health issues”, so no need to get all mad about that. And my point isn’t to argue or anything. I’ve just perceived, from the research that I’ve done, that it’s either super similar to allergies and isn’t one or is an actual allergy to some extent and is just a different type. Celiac is an immune response though, so I’m not really sure if you were trying to say it wasn’t and allergies are or if you were just trying to say it’s a different type of immune response.

Literally ... 1/3 of type 1 diabetics have this gene. The other is DQ8 which may be responsible too for celiac disease so more investigation needs to be done on ALL autoimmune diseases and their relationship with gluten. I know someone who has not had any symptoms of Parkinson’s disease after going gluten free as well as someone healing themselves after being in a wheel chair from a MS diagnosis and going gluten free.
Celiacs need to do more advocating. Not just for their own condition but against Gluten in general and advocating for genetic tests and educating themselves further beyond their limited knowledge about celiac disease alone
I find it ironic that this was posted 5 years ago and the comment made is “you were diagnosed at a time where maybe there wasn’t as much awareness about celiac disease”. But here it is 2022 and it still took me 21 years to get diagnosed with celiac disease. No doctor would listen/ look at all my symptoms as a whole and instead I got diagnosed with a bunch of other things when in reality I had a autoimmune disease that was slowly killing me. The awareness has not grown any it seems like in the past 5 years and it’s sad to see how many individuals struggle because no one wants to listen to us. Yes more people have been educated sure, but still doctors aren’t listening and still pushed me to get tested for Gastroparesis and told me I just had IBS, anxiety, depression, was lazy, chronic fatigue etc the list goes on. When all along I had celiac disease.
This is true with a lot of allergies. I cut out dairy and no longer have pain in my joints. Keep trying don't give up. I was told I probably have arthritis. Cut out dairy and no issue. Don't just jump to a conclusion take pain meds find the really answer. Good luck every one. Don't give up hope.
She describes some of the symptoms I have with Celiac. I feel so lucky to have a great primary care doctor and gastroenterologist who know so much about Celiac. I am getting the care I need to keep an eye on things and help with the other issues that have been caused by it.

Mari Rada | from studies I've read, it can take 18 months to over 10 years and still never really be 100%. Just gotta do the best with what we got.
Love her honesty. She has brought so much knowledge to this decease. She is also such a beautiful woman physically. Kudos to her for all.
Years ago my husband was diagnosed with celiac…I had to learn a whole new way of cooking for him. Then time passed and they decided it was a gallbladder issue so it was removed…then after that…back to celiac diagnosis. I’ve just ordered Jennifer’s new cookbook Jennifer’s Way Kitchen. I don’t have celiac and I’m divorced but there a lot of healthy recipes in it for anyone.
So excited that people are talking about celiac. When I was diagnosed I was so relieved. It took over eight months for the doctors to test for it and figure out what I had. I love when people talk about this.
Did you get better?
Mine was mouth ulcers I had them all my life. As soon as I became gluten free they all went within a few days.
This story is so similar to many out there. I was diagnosed at age 30. In and out of the hospital, anxiety meds, test after test, rushing to the ER and through it all I was being told by several doctors, "we don't know what this is," then finally someone in the ER gave me a referral to a GI doctor whare they tested me. 3 years later from my first hospital visit.
I was just diagnosed at 30 myself a month ago…. Was in the ER about 8 times last year… what a crazy time to have celiac disease
my celiac kicked in after the birth of my second child two years ago. my maternal grandmother has had it since 1984 and 80% of my mothers family has it! i was anemic, dry brittle hair and nails. my tooth enamel was thinning and becoming painful, my joints were so stiff and i would be constipated for 10 DAYS with horrid bloat. long story short, my insurance ( good ol' America) would not cover the cost of an endoscopy and biopsy. My amazing obgyn ordered a full blood test and a gene test in his office. my blood work was off the charts! white cells up, liver enzymes up, iron and b12 tanked and D3 levels low. gene test came back with all the markers and mutations that were needed to inherit Celiac.
after strict gluten free diet for 8 months my blood works looks good. i ended up needing to use a sunbed off and on to really get those D3 levels up but they are finally recovered. sadly my enamel will never come back so i am religious about dental care. that and my joints flare up from time to time but i feel 75%-80% better

My 8 year old has celiac disease. Very difficult to see how it affects him and also all of the things he misses out on. Birthday parties and other gatherings . But I'm glad we found out sooner than later . He's doing a great job. He is very aware of his situation but I have realized, just as you spoke of, how people kind of see it as trendy or a fad to go gluten free when the reality is celiac truly cannot eat gluten. I have been very vocal about it and I hope I'm spreading some awareness
She is so beautiful in glad she found out the problem.
Thanks Jennifer Esposito for educating people on celiac disease may God bless us all Jerry nyc currently in Ohio 2019 2020 2021 💜🧡💛💚💙💗💖❤
So beautiful comment 🤲🙏 God bless us all
I don't have celiac but I am allergic to wheat. I was having the same symptoms as celiac but my doctor only thought to test me for celiac. I went on my own and got allergy tests done by an allergy doctor and discovered that I am allergic to wheat, corn, nuts, soy and sesame. You have to pay attention to all your symptoms and push your doctors for the right tests.
Cami Winters,
You probably know this, but their is a tolerance level 0-120
-120 was the highest-
And if you have 0-3 you don’t have celiac. If you do have 3, you could be sensitive to gluten.

Celiac sucks so bad. I wasn't diagnosed tol 35 and now at 41 I still suffer from not knowing for so long. I am so glad Jennifer is bringing this to more public knowledge. On my to buy book right now....
I was diagnosed with a TIA stroke at the age of 21. Was prescribed high cholesterol meds and was on blood thinners for almost 6 months. The meds made me feel terrible. I went to at least 10 different doctors before finally demanding to be tested for this disease. Turns out I have it (as well as my wife we both figured out together lol) but gluten was the cause of this crazy "stroke" episode I had. Im glad I finally have answers now, but it's really tough living like this. Glad to have more representation out there!
I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, as well as having it confirmed with a biopsy, it is amazing how much life improves cutting gluten out of the diet. When I went to the doctor initially from the symptoms they had mentioned the possibility of Crohn's disease, I will take the lesser of two evils lol.
When you found out did you get emotinal. I have been emotional since I found out I feel like im alone and just sad. Idk.
She is still beautiful, but I just started watching Spin City this year. Jennifer was on for 2 full seasons in 1997 and 1998. She was like 25 and 26. I remember the name in the 90s, but didn’t know who she was. My goodness she was stunningly beautiful on Spin City. Her comedy acting was also GREAT. I wish she had never left the show.
Thank you for your commitment to better the Celiac community! I really appreciate the work you're doing. I was diagnosed at the start of 2017 and it has been no easy ride! Had a ton of difficulty finding doctors who could treat me. I am just now on the road to getting the answers I need so that I can get on with my life and be healthier. Your story, like so many others, leaves me feeling hopeful for my future. Thank you for sharing!

You guys didn't even let her talk, which doesnt surprise me, because you do that a lot. But this one, I really wanted to hear. Jesus. Stop doing that!
I had a long time of issues from neuropathies etc and was in the hospital for heart palpitations and they said it was just anxiety and i needed to learn breathing techniques.

I am Celiac for the last 2 years and for the previous year before that I couldn't figure out why I kept having such bad diarrhea. It took me one doctor finally diagnosing me with Hashimoto's thyroid issues and then sending me to a different doctor for the Celiac or I found a great endocrinologist the finally diagnosed me and got me on the road to health. For me not eating regular bread for the first month wasn't that hard I found. The day I got diagnosed I went to my local health food store found a great book a celiac disease and educated myself and it's been a hard road for the first 6-8 months of trying to stick to a diet where you can't eat your regular bread all your favorite foods anymore. But overall I feel great now.

Learned a lot about this. Jennifer is lovely.
Celiac Disease Foundation is a godsend.
I went through the same thing that she did with doctors.
I have celiac disease and I have had doctors straight up tell me that I didn't have it wen I did
Same by 3 different doctors
I am sure by the time doctors become doctors all their brain cells get destroyed. They compile so much data both useful and useless into their noggin only to have it implode when they try to help patients. I mean if I was training to become a doctor I figure that would happen sooner or later. Most humans only do well with so much data. If we could get doctors away from using pharmaceuticals to treat and instead referring patients to testing facilities and lifestyle medicine doctors. Then maybe we could see better health outcomes. Getting to the root cause of illness should be a priority of every doctor. Although 15-30 minutes ain't cutting it. We need at least 2 hours with doctors.
Same ...

I am strict and am fine.I don’t let it control me and frankly hate talking about it every time I sit down to eat with people.I am ripped and I have never worked out.Accidents happen but you either suck it up or you let a diet or symptom rule your life.You’re all going to be fine.Especially if you’re lucky enough to have an early diagnosis.
Watch out for the GF alternatives.They have cola levels of sugar to bind them
I eat very few grains at all
Follow the diet and outlive everyone around you
I would say I fall in the category of almost symptomless celiac. For me I get bad eczema. I have stomach problems that vary due to the quantity of gluten I eat. I have problems with dizziness and iron deficiency anemia. None of these things were particularly notable since I had them my whole life and just assumed my other poor habits caused this. I took out gluten a few years ago and I haven't been consistent with it. As a result a lot of my symptoms return if I slip up. My main problem is that I have never gotten tested and I can never be tested due to the repercussions.
Your symptoms with time WILL worsen if you don’t cut it completely. Just because you have no diagnosis does not mean you do not have a serious condition. You already know that gluten worsens it.

Everyone should be tested for the DQ2 gene. 30-40% of the world* despite race or country of origin has this gene. Although 95% of celiacs have this gene (& having this gene doesn’t mean you will become celiac). It DOES mean that your body CANNOT tolerate gluten in it. You will end up with autoimmune disease if you continue eating gluten. An autoimmune disease that you may be unaware until it just kills you.
Celiac disease has HIJACKED the gluten free diet. Autoantibodies to gluten though can attack cells in your pancreas and cause TYPE 1 diabetes. Your IGA making capabilities may eventually wear out because it’s what is needed to remove gluten and you may become IGA deficient and suffer from constant viral and bacterial infections. Autoantibodies can attack your cerebellum and you end up with MS.
If you feel better on a GF diet and cannot afford to be tested for the gene ... stay on the Gluten free diet and tell people to F*ck*off If they don’t take you seriously just because you don’t have Celiac.
I had to ASK my doctor to test me for Coeliac Disease. I also had to ASK to be tested for low B12 levels. Both came back positive. Unless Coeliac Disease sufferers investigate their own symptoms and ASK their G.P. most if not all will misdiagnose you. They will think it's anxiety, depression, diet, gastroenteritis, food allergies, food poisoning, appendicitis, viral infection, exercise...the list goes on. The last thing they think of is Coeliac Disease. If I didn't ASK to be tested, I'd still be struggling to this day, even if you aren't getting all the symptoms but feel that it could be Coeliac Disease, just ask to be tested and rule it out. So many more people to this day are walking around with undiagnosed Coeliac Disease. Simple blood test is all it takes, if positive, then go for the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy together.
Did celiac make you loose weight?
@@moneymanusa7 not so much lose, just really hard to put any weight on.
@@kratosgodofwar4584 were you able to put on weight after going gluten free
@@kratosgodofwar4584 I have celiac too and can’t gain weight
@@kratosgodofwar4584 hello
Glad to see this. Makes me feel hopeful
she is beautiful and smart
It's literally the fact that i had every symptom she had. Severe,severe Anxiety and Panic Attacks. Skin boils and rashes that wouldn't go away even with medication. Acid reflux after food ,Bloating and Brain Fog. My 2 front teeth were about to fall. I'm glad we live in the age of information because after researching,I stopped eating wheat and all my symptoms went away. Just Like That.
Maybe you should focus on the fact that a lot of people say they have celiac disease when in fact they don't. A lot of people are eating gluten free because they think it will prevent celiac. But you can't catch celiac
UGH! Quite literally the most common misconception. It sucks when you go to get GF foods at the grocery and there's nothing left because all of the non celiacs who CHOOSE to eat GF as a fad diet make it so difficult for people who actually are effected by CD. Makes me so angry! I bet if they had CD for a day just to see what it was really like, they wouldn't pretend like they do and make up self-diagnoses. They'd give anything to NOT have to put up with the crippling side effects and the inability to eat so many things that us celiacs would love to eat but simply cannot. Thanks for your comment Gloria. I agree that this is something that needs to be discussed and focused on.
No you can't "catch" celiacs. Obviously people can get it anytime in their life. Is there a difference???
@@AGuideToTheWorld "They just feel better when they done eat it" I'm not a gluten fan myself. I don't get why you have such difficult finding anything else to eat. I used to be vegan. My cousin makes her own GF breads, etc. Maybe you'll deepen your grocery shopping regimen.
Jack Wyann It’s not that I have a difficult time finding “anything else to eat.” I eat a well-balanced GF diet. The point I am trying to make is that access to GF options is rather limited where I live. I get by, but fad diets are a big thing around here and people “eating gluten free for fun” is one of them. For people like myself that don’t have a choice, access to foods that Celiacs NEED is difficult. Not to mention, it’s expensive! I’m sure your cousin can attest to the fact that GF ingredients for breads etc. aren’t cheap.
@@squiddytourmaline5713 hey! You dont have to apologize. Eat gluten free. You need it if you are celiac and you definitely should advocate for yourself. I have celiac but I don t have intense symptoms when glutened. That still doesnt mean that I can go and eat it. I still strictly eat gluten free and I never cheat because I know my health will be worth it. You do what you need to do!
How can a doctor miss this lol
I'm a coeliac and I had to wait till I was 30 to be diagnosed... Before that, they didn't know so they told me it was stress...
My doctor at the end said i was annorexic...and the last week before i got diagnosed i couldnt even have a cup of tea without been sick
Wow these doctors seemed clueless. They didn’t seem to comprehend that serotonin is mostly in the gut.
What does that have to do with anything? The serotonin in your gut stays in your gut. Serotonin does not cross the blood brain barrier. You brain makes the serotonin it needs. You have serotonin in virtually every cell in your body.
I've had digestive problems since I finished menopause and had my gall bladder out. I've always had chronic depression and anxiety but it got bad in postmenopause. Then one day I was looking at some information on the internet and it said 95% of our serotonin is made in the intestine. I was like dang all this struggle with constipation, pain when eating and bloating has to be messing up my serotonin products even more than normal.
@@TheGalwayfan 95% of serotonin is produced in the intestines. If the intestinal tract is struggling and damaged there would have to be some correlation with issues with serotonin production.
Thank goodness for people who speak up about there being more than just one health issue that would prompt people to go gluten free! Celiac disease is one, the contamination she referenced is real in the form of the damage that glysophate/round up and other pesticides cause... other autoimmune issues, lymes the list is long and the physician wants to talk about non celiacs that are going gluten free in a negative way🙄
Beautiful lady
I can relate. My life is ruined, due to living with undiagnosed celiac disease for 30 years.
I didn’t hear anything about the effects on the body from vitamins/nutrients deficiency created by CD. A huge amount of disease/syndromes are being Triggered by malabsorption one that was disabling for me was transverse myelitis in which the same thing as Multiple Sclerosis lesions attack the spinal cord and even small brain lesions from B12 deficiency. Malnutrition is the greater problem and if the villi cant recover for multiple reasons this can be persistent malnutrition.
When I eat Gluten, my heart goes crazy. Very scary feeling.

It's sad to hear from people who struggled through the same things as you. Stay strong, people, this lifestyle ain't easy.
my doctor suspects that I may have this. I am anemic, I have low Iron, Folic Acid, B12 and D.
Lisa Longo have your doctor order a Celiac panel. My only symptoms were severe anemia and and occasional bloating. I’m am so grateful to have found a doctor who kept pushing the issue and insisting I need more testing.

I may have this. Eating bread causes huge bloating, stomach pains, and hurting joints, and I have anemia. It seems celiac is much more common than we thought. And yet its such a part of food culture. Bread, pasta, cereal,
@@panama2468 I eat like 35mg iron per day due to lots of fish, potatoes, chickpeas, beans, lentils and spinach.
Yet still, for all that my hematocrit is on the lowest norm, due to the accompanying gut issues.
And the typical gas, bloating, ridiculous diarrhea, joint pain, fever feeling, and the f-ing fatigue out of all.
Doc always pushed $$RI and similar p$ych meds, I told him to eat sh!t.
Wow... right in the feels! Celiac 9 years (that I know of)
Yes it is autoimmune
I have it but i cant stop eating the bad foods i wish i would stop im sure its killing me slowly
love is everything If you truly have celiac disease, you should stop eating gluten. You're right, it is slowly killing you. Not only that, but it can break through your intestinal walls after so much damage and travel through your blood stream. It then can reach your brain and cause you neurological problems. That to me is scary, so I avoid gluten like the plague.
Hi Jennifer esposito
Dating new people is hard with celiacs...... :/
I swear, as soon as you mention anything about the diet they just assume you'll die in the next two weeks and just start ghosting you.
What is going on with all this diseases and chronic illnesses and they are so hard to diagnosed God help us please and then they tell us your just crazy..🤯🤯🙏🙏🙏🙏

Did anyone prior to their diagnosis have swollen lymph nodes?
Yes, that is also very common - your lymph nodes are swollen because they are trying to filter your blood which is overloaded with all the unwanted absorbed products of digestion and inflammation. This stems from an inflamed gut, where the selective absorption malfunctions due to inflamed villi and failure of the tight junctions in the gut epithelial layer. Just like you have lymph nodes in your neck, you also have lymph nodes in your gut - they help with filtration of the products of digestion. Unfortunately when you have an inflamed gut, the lymph nodes around the gut are overworked - this causes the lymph nodes around the gut to not be able to function effectively, and they also become swollen. Next in line is your liver, the next filtration organ. Overtime the liver is also overworked, and cannot keep up with trying to filter the blood coming from the gut, and this unfiltered blood start circulating in your systemic circulation. Once there, the next filtration organs are your lymph nodes throughout the body - in your neck, under your arms/axilla, your groin etc. And the tissues in your body also gets irritated - so you get joint pain, or chronic sinusitis, or allergic conjunctivitis, or headaches etc. The primary irritant in the gut that causes these symptoms isn't necessarily always gluten. It can be anything, but there are common triggers like dairy (casein protein, not necessarily lactose), wheat and barley, certain nuts, grains, certain fruits etc. Also look at histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome. They can give similar symptoms to gluten sensitivity. All the best!
Let me know if this helps if you like.
I have Celiac deasise!! I was born with it
***** your body doesn't accept gluten (wheat) and you have to have a special diet for it. Wheat free food and so one.
Can you eat diary products? i have CD as well, It sucks poo for sure
Werks Guy I can eat those because I'm not lactose intolerant or whatever that is. Celiac disease is hell tho...
ur lucky when i got CD i lost the ability to break down dairy product.. I can only handle small of dairy now.. Ground beef or steak would crush my stomach..
Werks Guy that's horrible
I've been diagnosed a month ago it sucks ass
That's so sad to hear you are still suffering from this same situation . Am feeling for you right now, I know of a doctor who can help you get rid of this. He also help me from this same situation , He can also help cure yours permanently

Just cut gluten and eat food that made by yourself and you should be fine, Back in time gluten wasnt as bad as its now , all grains that contain gluten is GMO thats why we got that celiac disease. I think its not our body issue its that gmo food the problem
If you can afford to stay home (or in your country), then it's fine. But if you need to travel to another country for work, it's really difficult. At some point of dealing with this disease most people have moments where depression kicks in and you just wish to end your life.
Or Blue Bloods!
omg this is what I'm going through no answers and I'm getting stomach pain and issues it's not the gallbladder or pancrease its still undiagnosed how scary now IMA look up celiac disease I have had three panic attacks everything😢
It could also be food allergies. See my comment above. Also I had a bad gallbladder for years. The only definitive test for the gallbladder is called a Hida scan. On me they did upper g.i. with contrast, MRI, etc. and told me my gallbladder was fine. I insisted on the HIDA scan it showed that my gallbladder was only functioning at 23% and they took it out 1 week later.
omg this is scary they are finally going to do a Hiatus scan this week wow i hope i find out whats going on so many ultrasounds showing no calcified stones u about want to die because people think your imagining the pain and this pain is so real i get hot sweaty heart palpitations stomach pain right side pain with lower right lumbar stabbing pain its like no other fire stabbing pinching pain ive ever felt and still undiagnosed ??!!!
hope you get some answers and start to feel better soon! Let me know how it goes if you don't mind, I have been through it so please don't feel alone.
no answers yet but ill keep u posted
Don't panic until you get your test results back.. you might just have IBS!
Omg i have Celiac

G I show
My reaction to gluten is extreme.
I know what she is saying.
It's all true.
It's not a fad diet.
It's a minefield.
It is not genetic. It is caused by Tylenol and Aspirin. All of my siblings have the same gene as me. However, they never have gluten sensitivity. But I have gluten sensitivity. I did not know it was caused by Tylenol and Aspirin till 20 years later. My first huge reaction was when I was in college. I could not sleep and took a lot of Tylenol PM so I could sleep. After abusing the medication for two years I ended up with gluten sensitivity. My indigestion was so severe that my vomit ripped the end of my esophagus. I stopped eating gluten for 20 years, but still occasionally have indigestion problems. However, 3 years ago I found out that Tylenol and Aspirin could cause other autoimmune deceases such as MS or Lupus. From that date on, I have stayed off both Tylenol and Aspirin, and my indigestion problems have became less and less each day. Lately, I have been introducing some gluten back into my diet and I feel just fine. Not more bloating, cramping, and diarrhea.
Celiac disease is in fact genetic. That’s just SCIENCE.
Tylenol and aspirin do not cause Celiac Disease.
Can you rip an apple?
It's the malnutrition you acquire from intestinal damage that affects the rest of your body. No intestinal damage equals psychosomatic symptoms. Sorry folks but it's true. Minute traces of gluten won't leave you writhing in pain on the floor either. It takes years for your intestines to get damaged enough for that. That said, I avoid it as much as I can but I know I won't drop dead in a restaurant if I accidentally get some cross contamination. It just doesn't work that way. Ms Esposito is overdramatic. I believe she should be under the care of a good psychiatrist. She's a nutcase who can't keep a job. I threw her book in the trash about a month ago. No one wanted it
TheGalwayfan I can vouch for everything she has said. Do you even have coeliac disease? Because I do and what she is talking about is absolutely correct and I suffer dearly every day.
Do you have it ? I do ... and it feels like I’m dying slowly n slowly .
I have many symptoms yet the only deficiency I have from having celiac is iron deficiency. The rest of my blood work is fine but I still suffer even being gluten free.
