My Thoughts –
I found the article Ellen posted about the Systemic Impacts of Celiac Disease was very interesting. Rarely, do we talk about how having this difficult-to-diagnose autoimmune condition can have profound impacts on our lives, even once we’ve been diagnosed.
I think it’s a good exercise to take some time to think about how your body coped with celiac disease prior to your diagnosis, and if any of those symptoms have translated into very real health effects or concerns, now that your celiac disease is, for lack of a better term “under control” on a gluten free diet.
I remember being taken aback when my celiac daughter, 4 or 5 years after diagnosis and on a gluten free diet, broke her arm and even once it had been given the appropriate time to heal, it had not healed completely (as evidenced by another break a few days later). When we investigated the bone issue, we were told her bones were depleted of calcium with celiac disease and she won’t likely be able to replace the calcium until adolescence. It took a while for me to wrap my head around the fact that my daughter now at least 4 years on a gluten free diet, and very healthy, still had weak bones. It made me think about what I might be dragging along with me on my health journey.
We all have quirks about our bodies, but it might be worth it to take some time to think if those issues might be hold over from what your body went through while waiting to be diagnosed and start the treatment of the gluten free diet. Food for thought, I suppose.
