Celiac Expert: You need to go see your gastro. and mabeye get health insurance. ER is another choice because you condition sounds life threatening.

Celiac Expert: When a celiac patient consumes gluten, the small intestine which is where most nutrient absorption takes place, produces a negative reaction to gluten which causes it to destroy the villi or tiny fingerlike hairs lining the small intestine. The villi help absorb nutrients so when this negative reaction takes place, malnutrition can occur which is a serious problem for anybody.

@MrYamahaMC Everyone should become experts in nutrition, health and a broad understanding of how everything fits together. This is the only way each individual can empower themselves to not be preys of evil greedy bastards out for their money at the expense of their health. Gluten is just one small aspect. Learning about Lectins and Phytates for example that cause a lot of digestive and auto-immune reactions in foods touted as 'healthy'. Once you find the foods that work for you...blisssss.

@JoshWithHisCello I think oats are also gluten free. Amarynth/Quinoa are also gluten free and there's an Ethiopian grain known as Neff which is also very nutritious and gluten free.

@JoshWithHisCello It's a good sign that your condition was caught early in life. Some people go decades without a diagnosis. The gluten-free diet can heal your small intestine over time, but it's very important that you stay 100% gluten-free. Please visit CeliacCentral [dot] org and download our Getting Started Guide. It's on the Printable Guides page, under "Resources." I also suggest that you sign up for our monthly e-newsletter. Sign-up is on righthand of CeliacCentral [dot] org.

2 days ago i found i was celiac. and not only that but i found out along with that im allergic to peanuts, soy, and corn. im 17 and ive been eating stuff with gluten all my life. how much damaged have i done to myself and will sticking to a gluten free diet fix the damage ive done to myself?
@EyeWearMySunglasses It is in no way a blessing. It's a disease which has made my life very diffucult and you are lucky not to have it. And there's no such thing as being addicted to carbs - It's called gluttony you fattie. Coeliac Disease is not some fad diet, the people who have it have to suffer through it for the rest of our lives.

I think no one should be eating gluten... Im mean look around you all the crap is gluten.... and doctors are making so much money... cuz people in majority are all eating crap... which means more visits to the doctors and more prescitions written by them.. If only everyone would eat healthy foods such, as fish, chicken, veggies, fruits, nuts, and so on. Thanks..
