Hey, this is my story, I started having a chronic diarrhea for almost 3 months, then my stools became really unpredictable some days really loose, other im constipated, lots of symptoms like burping, massive movements and sounds from my intestine, sometimes pain or discomfort in some areas os the stomach, nausea, hyperhidrosis, dizziness, horrible taste in the mouth, i cant really tell all the strange sensations my body has feeled, headaches i have almost 1 year not feeling good with myself, some days are fine but others i really cant this is killing me really slow inside of me, investigating i tried taking away gluten (not completely because its very hard, i dont have the support of my parents) but i noticed a great improvement in my health, i went to the doctor and he did blood tests, i was positive in the antigliadin and in the EMA ( endomysial) so he made biopsy of the jejunum, he told me my villious were normal and i did not have celiac, the study shows i have a chronic inespecific jejunitis (moderate lymphocyte infiltration) but i dont know whats the origin of this inflamation, also i realize that when i eat bread or something my throat really hurts a lot and still have weird stools, very tired at nights and when i wake up, im really frustrated and tired of not know what is happening to me, if somebody please help me if it happened to you or know something like my story could help me a lot, im scared having another disease or other thing, if im celiac its okay but i need to be sure to make the diet stictly :(.

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english im not native speaker.

I am afraid I am in no position to offer any advice. I can only say I hope you can get to the root of your problems and feel better soon.

Hi Frankie,

You might be having an allergic reaction to wheat or something else you are eating.  I am thinking that because you said your throat hurts when eating bread?

Allergic reactions can occur fairly quickly, as compared to celiac reactions which are somewhat slower.  So that might be something to ask your doctor to test you for.

Hi Frankie,

I'm going through a very similar time to you right now.  Over the last 3 months I've had stool changes, headaches, stomachaches, and episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness.  If your esophagus (throat) hurts when you eat certain foods, you may want to ask your doctor about being checked for eosinophilic esophagitis.  It's a reaction to certain foods causing inflammation and other esophogeal issues, and gluten is one of the common allergens.  Eosinophilic Esophagitis is common in teenage and young adult males.  I was just scheduled for an upper scope and they're going to take biopsies for both Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Celiac.

If you're living with your parents, and a gluten free diet makes you feel better, perhaps you should have your doctor speak to your parents on your behalf.  If your doctor feels that there's a compelling reason for you to be gluten free, they need to understand that is something you require for your health.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
