  I’m really not sure although I’m not sure how to go about it?
  
  Thank you so much for this information I really appreciate it! I’ve been reintroducing oats lately here and there because its one thing that has some promise of possibly being reintroduced. What does higher up in the digestive track mean? I’m not great with the layout of the human body. I haven’t had a endoscopy or a colonoscopy ever. Doctors don’t seem to want to listen to me and keep saying it’s anxiety. I really don’t think it’s anxiety. ( I have anxiety and this definitely isn’t it) I’m hoping to get a referral soon because it would be good to get this figured out. I’m just relieved you ac

  Black stool would indicate bleeding higher up in the digestive track as opposed to the colon or rectum. Bright red stools would indicate bleeding lower down. Certain foods (like leafy greens) and certain meds (like Pepto Bismol) can also blacken stools. Have you had both and endoscopy and a colonoscopy recently? If not, I would press for both and as soon as possible. You could have a peptic ulcer or even worse, a tumor. Don't mean to scare you but just want you to get this scoped out soon. Mast cell activation syndrome is often found in conjunction with celiac disease.

  I’ve had a really weird health journey. I’m sorry not all of it is related to gluten but some of it I think is. A couple years ago I was prescribed a medication (prednisone) after an allergic reaction. I told the doctors 3 times I was lactose intolerant. I didn’t realize the medicine had a little amount of a milk derivative in it until I had 2 pills and my stomach was very off. I knew I couldn’t take the medication anymore. That night or the next day is when this disgusting pain started in my stomach. Went to the hospital that didn’t prescribe me the medicine and they said it’s because your la

  Is Advil PM Gluten-Free?
  
  Check Target UP&UP OTC meds. These generics are either labeled gluten-free on the box, or on the price label on the shelf below the product. I've been using various ones for years with no problems.

  In what ways did you feel better after going gluten-free?
  
  Anxiety and depression are very much linked to celiac. When you eat any of the 4 grains wheat, rye, barley and oats, the gluten in them releases harmful peptides called gluteomorphins that cross the blood/brain barrier and upset brain chemicals. Many other problems of the mind are also linked like autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactive disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

  My symptoms are getting worse.
  
  I suspect a lot of people eventually discover that gluten isn't the solitary cause of their symptoms. They identify the gluten problem, go gluten free, think the problem is solved, and then they don't get better. Eliminating just gluten often isn't enough. The dairy protein casein can cause a sensitivity that is frequently found along with gluten sensitivity in a lot of people. I've always had problems with dairy, and when I had an Enterolab test for gluten sensitivity they also tested for casein sensitivity and said I also had antibodies to that as well. They also said it should be
