(You have my sympathy, Amy & others!) But today I don’t restrict my wheat or gluten intake at all. Since I’m asymptomatic, and went through the trouble of having a stomach biopsy which was completely normal, I just said Feh to that. I tried the gluten-free lifestyle and it was HARD!

One thing they now do is post little blue & white index cards under foods that are gluten free for "special diets." I found that helps. In addition, they now have a whole section of cookies, etc. called Gluten-free. there are also many good cookbooks. Good luck!

I have had T1 DM for 15+ years, and I was diagnosed with celiac a few weeks ago. I am totally overwhelmed by the dietary restrictions on top of all of my usual (and stressful) diabetes stuff! I think I will be ok when I eat at home during the summer, but it's going to be really difficult when I go back to college in the fall!

That's 3 autoimmune syndromes, but the last two only cropped up in the last few years or so. Anybody else have non-celiac gluten sensitivity? Doc went looking for it when we discovered I had low iron, and nothing could account for it. There was suspicion that I might be having mineral absorption issues associated with celiac.

It is LOCALIZED, rather than systemic, scleraderma, but it has messed up some parts of skin on my back which would otherwise have been very good places to infuse insulin with my pump!

I have pre-diabetes, I'm gluten intolerant, have a dairy allergy, and other food intolerances that are pretty bad. Finding low carb snacks that don't have artificial sweeteners in them (which we won't eat except for stevia) that don't have dairy or wheat's a total headache. Do you have any suggestions on this? I tend to swing--go off my allergy diet in search of low carb alternatives, then swing back to the allergy diet and end up eating too many carbs--I can't seem to find a happy median here. And I need to. *shakes head* It's sure a pain in the neck. And I didn't realize you were gluten intolerant for a bit--just happened to glance back at this post. :) My husband’s a Type 1 diabetic.

I was just thrilled to see that you are sharing some of your early stuff with us (it's fantastic, as usual!). It IS crazy how the more things change the more they stay the same! Hey Amy!

Thank God,but, the complications and other little gifts have been coming every year for the last 10-12 yrs or so. From the things I have learned about celiac and the food limitations, I'll keep my neuropathy, Thank You!!! Good Luck to all who are dealing with this pain in the ass!! No celiac here.
