burp..'scuse me. It's the bane of my existence, this burping :angry: .

I'm new here because a friend heard about Celiac disease on public radio and thought the symptoms sounded eeerily familiar to what I've been whining about for four years! The doctors merely patted me on the shoulder and said, 'you've developed a tic'..GAAAA

sO, I'm trying to go gluten-free and see what happens. Glad to find you guys! (and if someone can tell me how to unclick being anonymous, I'd appreciate it. I can't seem to find it) Thanks

Welcome to the world of reading labels and asking friends what they put in a casserole! It may seem overwhelming, but it is much better than feeling sick all the time.

I grew up in nortwest Louisiana, (Bienville Parish, went to school at NSU) my siblings (2 celiac, all 6 hypoglycemic) are still there. I live in Maryland now.

Be really careful of fried foods, because so many of them (especially in Louisiana) are breaded - okra, shrimp, fish, wild game, pork chops - you doubtless can name more). When in doubt - DON'T EAT IT. Unfortunately, gravies and sauces are pretty much gone. I can check with my sisters and get you some names of gastros who treat celiac, if that will help. Try to keep in mind that, as lousy as a celiac diagnosis may be, it is something that we can handle without medication, we are completely in charge of what we put in our mouths, and it is a small price to pay for feeling human again. Best of luck and Godspeed.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      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 searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      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?

      By trents · Posted

      "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.
