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.

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
