Tonya,
I have only been diagnoses with Celiac since November 15th. I had anemia
for over a year and a half and they could not find the cause. I had been
very sick the past year and a half and was ready to pack it all in. I got
depressed and felt horrible. I had no energy and felt sick all the time.
Since I went on the gluten free diet I have felt much better and a week ago
had major surgery that I could not have had a year ago because of my poor
health. Last summer I was able to get my blood sugars down to a normal level
and have been on only pills since then. (advandia) I had bounced back and
forth between pills and insulin for many years and it was a frustrating time.
I was a gestational diabetic. After my third large baby I started to
develop type two diabetes. I when from infections and high blood sugars to
lows with insulin. I was really on a yo-yo. After getting my diet
straighten out and just being on the pills, I have managed to do well with
the diabetes. The Doctor thinks I had the Celiac for a very long time and
some of the symptoms where blamed on my diabetes and on the fact that I had
had by gall bladder removed many years ago. I have stopped having the
diarrhea after eating fried foods and my blood level has started to go up.
This is all in correlation to the Gluten free diet. I have to be very
careful about eating the high carbo gluten free breads. That makes my blood
sugar go up. Atkins Diet is really rather good for me. Even if I do eat a
little more that It calls doe in the fruits and veggies. At lease I'm not
eating all the sugars and crabs. You really have to watch that with
diabetes.
I would be happy to give you any help I can. Just let me know If they thing
I can help. -Lynette from Massachusetts
