Hi Daniella,
I was diagnosed a Coeliac in 2005 at the age of 57, it seems my cessation of smoking triggered the Coeliac Disease.

Reference from PubMed.gov Click to read

I'm well in tune with Coeliac Disease so much so that I have an armful (literally) of GF Recipe Blogs + a Blog on CD The Irish Coeliac Click Here

Hopefully I can get to a similar stage with Diabetes that I can write to help others.

I've managed the fat reduction (ie.) Low Fat spread, yoghurt, cheese, milk.

Because I'm a Coeliac and I can only use Carb flours (Potato, Rice etc it's a bit of a 'double whammy') can't eat wheat bread (for roughage and help balance blood sugars) so that's out.

Xylitol and other non refined (diabetic sugars, tend to give me the big 'D')
I was alway a big fruit eater and now to restrict myself to 5-6 grapes where before I'd eat a punnet watching the TV, that feels very strange.

Glucophage causes me acid reflux for which I take a PPI (nexium) but those tend to cause Polyps in the intestines (more so with Coeliacs).

Both Coeliac Disease and Diabetes are autoimmune disease and I know quite a few Coeliacs that have Diabetes.

Are there many Diabetics on here that were later diagnosed with Coeliac Disease.

Sorry for rambling on a bit.

Don't worry, when I have questions I'll ask.
Only going to my 2nd Diabetes meeting in the Hospital to get Blood sugar meter and a talk by a dietician.

Talk soon.

Best Regards,
David
