Wish Me Luck

[Moogle39]

So I've posted a while back. I'm undiagnosed, been tested multiple times. I had one raised marker on a blood test I think a while back though. I've basically had IBS for over 12 years. My doc thought all my symptoms were celiac and after negative blood and endoscopy tests, he said I should still try the diet. Well, I've tried but I honestly haven't given the diet longer than a few weeks maybe (and even still those few weeks I may have had foods that I thought were gluten-free that could have been cross contaminated). My doc's PA said it could take a few months to tell if it's helping. 

So after a few days of eating stuff with gluten this week (sandwiches, beer, etc) today I've been in the bathroom all morning and I'm literally sore from wiping (sorry for tmi). I'm going to do the diet for 2 months and really make sure not to cheat or eat things that could be contaminated. Wish me luck, I'm hoping to notice some improvement (at least feeling like I don't need to take Imodium all week long and not being bloated also). Thanks for listening (reading) me venting haha.

I hope the strict gluten free diet leads to improvement!

Pick out 10 or so problems/symptoms.  List them vertically, with columns  to document.  Eval after ea two week increment.  Sometimes, when we are making slow progress, we can not see it.
