[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 5857, member: 289"] Wow, if it had not been so many years since I was diagnosed with Celiac I would be scared to read this. However, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac in 1995 after having all of the symptoms listed associated with Celiac. The internist finally did a stomach biopsy and determined I had no villi and was therefore receiving no nutrients at all. However he asked me if I wasn't tired or feeling badly. I told him other than spending more time in the bathroom than I would like which meant waking up many times a night, that I wasn't feeling any tireder than any mother of a child under the age of one is. When my daughter was still less than a year old, my internist did a routine blood test and it was determined that I had no clotting factor at all, my liver wasn't working, but several K shots got me back in great shape. Again, the doctor covering for my regular doctor that called me in once he got the results of the bloodwork, asked me how I was feeling. I felt great. He did tell me my regular internist saved my life by ordering routine blood work, as without it I would have likely died of a massive brain hemmorage by Sunday...it was Wednesday. I did follow the Celiac diet and in three months my internist did another biopsy and reported my villi was growing back. He monitored me for a couple of years, but then released me from care. He had told me that when he diagnosed my Celiac he had only seen two other cases in his 30 years of being a doctor, and only one other as bad as me, and that was an elderly man on IV and bed ridden because he just didn't have the strength to function. I felt fine. I have not always followed the Celiac diet over the years, but I have not had a return of the problems I had before. Perhaps I will, after all I was told you are born with Celiac and sometimes it remains latent, and can do so your entire life. However, the hormone changes from having my daughter at almost 41 years old, caused mine to flare up. I will tell you that from August 1997 to June 2000 I attended college and over the course of those three years, I earned two Associates degrees...one in Computer Science and one in Accounting...a double major, therefore completed simultaneously, and graduated with a 3.51 average for both. Graduated with honors. In August 2002 to May 2006 I completed a bachelors degree in Psychology and graduated with a 4.0...Summa :censored: Laude. Hopefully dementia isn't in my immediate future, but it didn't happen at the time I was having my symptoms before or right after diagnosed with Celiac. It has been over 11 years since I was diagnosed and I still don't have the signs of dementia...well, depending on who you are asking.
