Hi
I was just found out today I have celiacs disease. Bit of a blow as I already have epilepsy, an under active thyroid, osteoporosis and a vitamin D absorption problem. Been type 1 for 43 years so I thought when I arrived at 50 this year, I’d seen it all. I’ve had neuropathy pain for six months and the dsn told me there’s a link with celiacs disease? Anyone know about that? Bit fed up as I’ve managed to control my diabetes without involving anyone pretty much just by adjusting my insulin and cabs, now I’ve got to ‘fess up that there’s stuff I can’t eat. Try telling my mother in law I can’t eat a cheese toastie. Any advice, I’d be really grateful.
