I don't know if they looked for internal bleeding....who would do that? I had a colonscopy which showed only slight diverticulosis. Nothing to even remove and send off for testing.

I know what you mean about the more doctors you see and getting more confused. My GI at least thought my antibody level was abnormal and so this started my search for answers about celiac disease. But the blood doc said in no way would you tell someone they could have celiac disease based on that alone. Well that sort of got me excited thinking the GI is mistaken but until the Celiac panel blood tests come back I won't know what's what!

I would pose the question to your primary physician - whoever you consider that to be. May be your GP or other. Don't let them brush you off. Unexplained anemia can be a sign of either significant or slow, less significant internal bleeding. It should be investigated if all other possibilities have been exhausted. Claire

My dd was also always anemic and I believe that it was directly related to her gluten sensitivity. Nothing was ever done about it and I was told her give her a vitamin and be sure she ate enough iron. This was a child who ate us out of house and home and then some because she was so starving and yet was vitamin deficient and malnourished to the point that her hair was/is falling out.

Drs. are on my hit list right now!!! We didn't get the menstrating line, obviously, but we just got some other BS because they obviously knew she was eating better than most children on this planet, yet was not absorbing the nutrients properly. They chose not to figure out why...

Claire - well I don't know that I have celiac disease yet. I don't really have the gastro symptoms. But I'm going to ask my doctor to check for ulcers just in case. She's an internist but she's young and she doesn't seem to worry too much about what's causing my anemia. I want to change to another pcp but I can't do that in the middle of all these tests. One thing my doc will do is refer me to whoever I tell her to. Have to credit her for that.

e&j0304 - I'm right there with you on the doctors being on my hit list too. When the hemo doc stopped listening to me after he'd asked if I had 'D' or 'C' and I said no, I knew he wasn't going to be of help to me. At least he ordered the Celiac panel so I'm anxious to find out those results.

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time
