As some may recall from my topic "Test Results" started a few months back, I have been through the ringer with getting anyone at Kaiser to listen to me about my digestive issues. I changed insurance, had a long consult with a new GI who specializes in celiac and gluten sensitivity who listened as well as educated me, asked me to try the low FODMAP diet, and then made an appointment with a dietitian  (see her in 2 weeks), and said he has to look at my pathology reports from the endoscope. I will see him in 4 months unless things don't go well.

I have been doing this diet, which is gluten free, and I have never felt better in my life. Three weeks in and I'm not aching as much, my stomach is not hurting (except I made some gluten free cookies from a package and didn't realize they had inulin, which I am not supposed to have right now. Bad stomach ache! Lesson learned), and I am starting to get my energy back. 

I will not eat gluten again, so my focus with the dietitian will be eating gluten free forever. I will never know if I have celiac, but I do know that gluten is the main problem. I will know for sure when I start adding back in foods that are higher FODMAP, such as the asparagus I love so much and can't eat right now.

Family members we are staying with are understanding and accommodating because their daughter is gluten free.

Just wanted to share my success!

Good for you!!! I know this has been such a long painful journey for you SSLRunner but you've reached the end now & I hope you have no more doubts and can live with not having an official dx. After all, your body did give you an official dx, it just isn't signed by a doctor right?

I am thrilled to hear you're feeling so much better!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!

      Not validated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      After waisted time of new care team, yet again EXHAUSTED saw new gi today in Modesto, though all my ailments im not getting any kind of concern of me being celiac and sentive to just about everything since menopause. Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.

      New issue

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      By RMJ · Posted

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.
