Last summer I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I was a runner, but not a marathoner... a "i love to run so i run daily" runner.

As I got sicker and sicker, my runs got shabby.

Then, I lost a million pounds and had the bod of a nine year old and had to move home and needed a cane and was really, really ill.

Then, doctors said when I hit said weight, I could start exercising again, assuming I also FELT good.

So I've been walking a lot. And today, I felt like running.

You would THINK that not running for nine months, you'd be able to go, oh... a quarter of what you used to do daily?

I had a fear that I would never have the strength to run again.

This morning I ran my old route in the same time I always ran. I was sweaty. I was NOT out of breath, and I was NOT weak.

So, were my runs shabby eariler becasue of this lack of diagnosis?

I THINK SO!

So.......... Thank YOU celiac!

That must have felt great. I am so glad your fears were unfounded.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
