It seems to me that I have been developing Dermatitis Herpetiformis, a rash caused by celiac disease, despite the fact that I have been (at least trying to be) gluten free for nearly twenty years. Does anyone have any experience with this rash?

just learned that i have celiacs also - was diagnosed with D type 1 almost a year ago. I have to laugh at it. Just waiting for the day they say im lactose intolerent and allergic to all type of food.

Found out I have Celiacs right before New Years. Not a big deal to me. In fact, I kind of like have more restrictions on my diet. Makes it a lot easier to manage my blood sugars. I've been type one since 1983, back when diabetics "couldn't eat sugar." As a cook and baker, I have simply substituted GF flour into my recipes so I can still enjoy certain treats. have a great recipe for a low-fat, vegan, GF cake/cupcake that would leave anyone drooling for more!

So glad to find this group. My 10 year old son was diagnosed with diabetes and celiac this summer. people say it's common to have both, but i'm not buying it! We can't find many people or info. So grateful for this site!

trying something new that is gluten free is always sketchy with how much insulin i need to take because i have found some GF items that i just can't eat anymore because it doesn't matter how much insulin i take when i eat it, my blood sugar will not come down from like 300 for HOURS and it's *awful* so i'm jsut throwing it out there that you may find some gluten free foods that you just can't partake in~ I also have a pump and it it awesome for everything else but those select foods that jack my blood sugar :)

to Amy, first, I would start counting carbs on injections before going on a pump.

a lot of GF foods have more carbs then non GF foods, but counting carbs makes it EASIER to track. I program what my sugar is into my pump, then how many carbs I ate then it caculates for me how much insulin I need. I still know how to do all that stuff by hand should my pump break or something or I just feel like being in injections I know how. Celiac doesn't seem to make a difference on a pump or off.......I think a pump is much better control (at least for me).

I'm new to tudiabetes also!

I was diagnosed with type 1 dibetes when i was 18 months old (i'm almost 21 now), and i was diagnosed with celiac right before I turned 2 years old. I'm really wanting to switch over to the pump. Is it complicated counting carbs with the pump and celiac? (I don't currently count carbs-I'm still on the 4 shots a day no matter what my sugars are plan.)

Any info anyone has would be great!! :)

New here...so this may be the wrong place to post my questions but, here goes...

Are there "degrees" of celiac? Can someone have it "a little" and another person have it "a lot"?

Can those with celiac tolerate a little bit of gluten, such as flavoriing with soy sauce or wearing lipstick?

Can celiac appear in very small children, or is it a disease that develops over time?

Thank you for your support and time.
