A picture is worth a thousand words, right!  The first picture is after 30+ years of celiac symptoms.  The second picture is me a few days back.  I am 2+ years gluten free and moving towards better health even still!

                                                             ">http://Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link Well I didn't want my pictures this big, but having spent way too long at this and done my best.  I have to leave it here hoping I got it good enough.  At least it isn't tiny.  Please post your pictures.  If you don't understand how to do it.  I have to say, I am not sure.  I ended up using Firefox rather than Google, but I don't know if that is the key to it.

You look great! So much healthier and vibrant!

 

I have before and after pictures too. It's crazy to me now how unhealthy I looked when I was on gluten!

I hope this will encourage some people to take their before picture (or find one) and encourage some others to share their pictures.  Please take the hint!

Rather thank linking to a personal page outside this forum, just put the images in your post using the Image icon, as linking to a personal site is not allowed in posts.

I guess the admin removed the link, because I see no link or pictures.

Here is a picture of me after my oldest daughter was born. You can see the general lack of well being, especially in my face.

Wow!  Blessed Mommy, look around the eyes, look at the face color change, and until I looked at the smile, I didn't think these were the same person!

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
