Finally, An Answer....

So after many many months of not feeling well, questioning everything i eat, even sometimes avoiding food all together. It occured to me that every doctor that I saw was placing the blame on celiac disease, which is quite a pet peeve of mine. so finally when i was at my gynocologist i put my food down. turns out i have endometriosis, which can be the cause of many stomach symptoms, the shooting and constant pain, and the occasional attack of captain D (ha as many people call it)...i was to the point where i didn't know what to do anymore, thank goodness i got an aswer!! i'm having surgery the 13th and then trying the strictly organic diet and keeping my fingers crossed that it helps and i can get back to feeling normal.....it pays to question things.........i just wish everytime i didn't feel well people wouldn't say "oh well what did you eat this time"........Nothing actually THANKS! ha

Good for you for demanding answers. Isn't funny how we know our own bodies? I kept telling my doctor that my terrible back aches felt like my insides were inflamed. He said that it could not be related to my intestinal problems (pre Dx) and they were two unrelated issues.

After going gluten free, guess what......no more back aches!!

Hope you do well with the surgery and it relieves all you pain. :):)

I think you bring up a good point that celiac disease is not the source of all our ailments! I think when you have something like this, you tend to think "oh, it must be something I ate", especially when celiac disease symptoms are so vague and affect so many body systems. Glad you have been able to figure out what is getting you down and best of luck with your treatment! Hope you feel better soon.

I'm glad you stuck to your guns and got the correct diagnosis. Gyno. problems often affect our gastrointestinal systems. I have fibroids and during a hystrocopy, it was discovered I also had polyps (which were removed at that time). I always had noticeable PMS symptoms and during that time I would get D and even mild nausea. Best of luck with the surgery :)

I had surgery for endometriosis about 10 years ago or so, and I think it may be starting to come back...

you are right that gluten is not always the source of all of our problems. good luck with the surgery, you will do just fine and hopefully you will get feeling better soon.

Glad to see you got some answers, and a doctor that actually believed you when something was wrong. (we all know too often they dont, or give you the "I dont know"). Hope you feel better soon.

Intesting! I wish you the best. I wonder if this might explain my odd sensations and pains in my abdominal area. Got a gyno appt today, I'll ask about it.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
