    Default Celiac disease

    I was just diagnosed about a month ago with Celiac disease and wondering if anyone on here has this condition. I had many symptoms which are starting to clear up since starting the wheat/gluten free diet like painful joints, weight loss, rash, and abdominal distention/bloating.

    There is more info here..

    No, but I did a celiac diet for a year+. I'm still pretty interested in lectins, with regard to inflammation- did your doctor advise you to cut out gluten only, or lectins too? ie, have you had to cut out potatoes, peppers, tomatoes?

    I haven't been told to cut out potatoes or other things with lectin, but I was told to stop eating dairy. I'm still learning about the diet and I am cooking just about every day now since it is too expensive to eat all the specialty foods.

    Was it difficult for you to maintain the diet, Scarlett? I accidently ate some food with gluten recently, but I am getting better about figuring out what I can eat.
