Hi there. I was first on here about 2 years ago for my daughter but now I'm on here because of myself. I've always thought I had Celiac. From a very early age I've had symptoms and now I'm 32 and I can't keep living like this, so it's time to find out once & for all.

I've had asthma since I was about 8 years old.

Lactose intolerance since I can remember.

Since I was about 15 I've had stomach pain constantly. I was told it was reflux, then IBS, then ulcers - put on several meds & nothing ever really helped.

I can't even eat any more without being in pain immediately after.

The gas is horrific & embarrassing. My gut bloats like a bat outta hell & here come the rumblies!!

Just recently I started losing weight. Not that I'm complaining lol... but I'm down about 8 lbs now without even trying in the last month.

I went to my doctor about 2 months ago complaining about the following symptoms:

- Sick feeling all the time

- Nausious at night, sometimes vomitting

- stomach pain after eating

- weakness to the point where I couldn't even move a chair... coming from an ex fitness competitor this was a huge thing for me!

- irritable

- irregular/heavy cycles

He sent me for some blood work & it came back I was bottom of the barrel with Vitamin D and low, but not Iron deficient so I was told to take some supplements & if it didn't work, he would talk to me about anti-depressants. I'm not depressed!!! It's been 2 months and I still feel like garbage even after the supplements so I ordered a GlutenPro test which should come here soon.

Anyhow, sorry for the long-winded message. Just thought I would say hi and relay my symptoms to see if you think I might be on the right track. Hello everyone!!

It sure looks like you might have a problem with gluten? Those symptoms fit pretty well.

Most Dr.s don't even think to test for Celiac. It's not on their radar. :(

Even after I was DXed by a GI, my Dr. thought my DX was wrong and I should go on much stronger anti-depressants! I swear their answer for everything is anti-depressants. :blink:

I hope you get some answers. Be sure to continue eating gluten until after your testing is done.

      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?

      "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.

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

      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.

      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!
