πΊ My iron, VitD and calcium levels were low for years and they ignored and blamed my diet. All recovered 3 months after being gf. Unfortunately stomach scar tissue can take 5 years to recover and my bowel cancer and degenerated spine most likely blamed on gluten damage now. Still miss real bread π₯Ή
Holy sheep shit! Takes so long to get a diagnosis these things! I hope things are looking up for you now? I didn't realise until recently how serious it is.
Friend's daughter repeatedly admitted to hospital with respiratory problems every time she got a virus. Just got diagnosed with celiac.
But never realised it can be fatal, some never re over after removing gluten from their diet. Causes brain fog, nerve damage, mainly from the over compensating immune system, which is also why a high % of Coeliacs are type 1 Diabetics π
Must be a nightmare, because my understanding is that you can't just eat food without gluten, it has to be cooked in a way to avoid any possible contamination too?!
Me neither, was completely ignorant. 5ish years after cancer and still having abdominal pains, blamed on C surgery, but just started vomiting after every meal. Endoscopy confirmed there wasn't much left to absorb stuff as villae? all scarred. Then found Dairy int was added for good measure π
Next to being a Leeds fan it's a walk in the parkπ my 19yo became a fan at 13 and saw a fantastic rise and then a fall and he now sort of gets our lack of certainty in what might happen π€
