Mr. Mackey:

The gas lasts a while for me. Weeks, sometimes longer. Sometimes I do a liquid diet for several days. That helps a little. The longer I am able to tolerate a liquid diet the better I feel but it still does not eliminate the gas.

Make sure EVERYTHING is gluten-free. Even shampoo and hair products. I make my husband feed the dog to avoid the gluten there. I have done that for 2 years. Recently dog sat for a neighbor, and even with really great hand washing, I got glutened. I guess I am more sensitive than I even want to admit!

Good luck. The whole thing gets better with time. And by the way I would see any doctor that understood Celiac Disease, adult or childrens.

I second what Debbie said. I've been gluten-free for almost six months and I'm STILL finding hidden gluten in the most random places. There's definately a learning curve that goes along with being gluten-free, and it will take you some time.

For me, the first week was like...I don't know. Amazing! :rolleyes: I couldn't belive how wonderful I felt. Then the honeymoon was over and my body readjusted to not having massive amounts of constant gluten. One thing's for sure: I may not feel 100% yet, but I feel a 100x better than I did a year ago.

Good luck, hang in there, and feel free to ask questions or vent here on the board. That's what we're here for!

--also, at 19, I'd say you're an adult

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      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.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
