Why Not Wikipedia?

I was wondering if there should be a celiac wiki or if there should be updated info. on wikipedia?

This is because as I was trying to figure out what my condition was, I would frequent wikipedia sometimes for "food for thought". But never once was it mentioned that constipation was a part of the problem so all the while I thought even porphyria was a better explanation than celiac disease! Too many think that celiac is only related to diarrhea and nothing else it would be a great convenience if someone who knows how to edit articles to perhaps, edit the entry on celiac?

Thanks again

As you have seen Wiki is not the best of places for medical info. If you need to do searches for medically related stuff the National Institute of Health and WebMd are two examples of better places to go for information.

I have no idea how to edit stuff on Wiki, but I do know anyone can do so whether they really know their subject well or not.

Why don't you make an account and learn to edit? The idea of a wiki is that anyone can contribute, not that you ask people do do it for you. :P

Here's directions and there is a sandbox (meaning a fake test site) for practicing.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
