I Think I Have Celiac.....

My doc tested me 2 weeks ago for Chrone's Disease to rule it out but he feels I have Celiac. since my daughter found out she has it 3 yrs. ago. I have done alot of reading on this and even went gluten/wheat free for a week to see if I noticed a difference. I did!!! I wasnt starving an hour after I ate and my abdomin pain seem to lessen and I didnt look like a mini balloon. BUT.... I noticed I was very tired all the time!!! Is this a reaction to the diet? I have ordered a "home Celiac test" that I have found online, because I am impatient and cant wait for my doc appt. next week. I have noticed a big difference going back to the regular eating. Does anyone else have problems being tired on the Celiac diet? Is there something to help?

How did your daughter find out she had Celiac Disease?

fyi - i'd be wary of a "home celiac test". I can't imagine any way that would actually work -- unless it something you're sending to a lab afterwards...

In your new gluten-free diet were you making sure you were eating a well balanced diet too? Enough protein? Fatigue and flu-like exhaustion are common symptoms of autoimmune diseases, although I don't know if/why going gluten-free would cause those symptoms to peak.

Where online did you find a "home celiac kit" and what on earth is it? :blink:

      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.
