Message: <blockquote data-quote="Okulu" data-source="post: 1354131" data-attributes="member: 228412">I have Type 1 (since 1997) and coeliac disease (since 2014). I probably had it for 6 years or so before being diagnosed. I think the key thing to remember is that symptoms are quite variable. Like you, I had low folate pre-diagnosis. But I also had low ferritin. Horrendous feeling of fullness after eating not very much. Awful lactose intolerance (with resolved completely within 2 weeks of going GF). Weight loss. Awful acid reflux. But don't base your problems on mine. As I said, I think the more people you ask, the more different answers you'll get. As for blood sugar problems - it wasn't particularly noticeable from what I remember. When I was in my late teens/early 20s I did get awful blood sugar readings in the morning (very similar to yours now). But this resolved way before the onset of coeliac disease. Just reading your symptoms, has your GP checked your thyroid function? You may be hypothyroid (or hyperthyroid. Also, have you been tested for Inflammatory Bowel Disease? (also known as IBD - there are two types: Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis - but neither of them are the same as IBS!)Sorry, hope this has been helpful. Feel free to ask me any other questions!</blockquote>
