so i started to do research again to find some aid for my symptoms since its been 6 months now and the doctors still have not gotten any were besides ruled out some more stuff. but i was looking up some of my symptoms or in general problems with myself ( constant dry saliva, always very very cold, i get dizzy when i stand up, i black out sometimes when standing up, panic/axiety attacks, dark urine) and webmd, has all of those problems listed as dehydration problems.. so i have a moniterd water intake, i drink a full bottle of propel (full of water) every hour about 10 times a day thats alot of water, so what besides not drinking enough, could cause dehydration that would also cause stomach pains that burn and gurgle burn and gurlge

Are you getting enough electrolytes? To cure dehydration they add about 7 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. salt to a quart of water. Maybe try that to see if it helps.

It can also be adrenal fatigue. Google adrenal fatigue and adrenal burnout and see if it sounds like your problem.

I was wondering how you were doing, I hadn't seen you around here lately.

yeah i gave up on getting myself worked up into a tizzy all the time on the website desided to go start living life, figured if im not dead by now (6 months later) then whatever this is not gonna kill me so i gave up on worrying, but now im finally getting sick of feeling like this all the time, its gotton so bad that when my stomach starts to act up you can see the spot below my ribs buldge up and i have to push on it and it makes a bunch of squirting noisis, this continues until i eat or until i pass gas, its painfull(burns) and is really strange and they are starting to get stronger now so i figured i should try to figure it out again

Well, the lower stress about all this sure makes you sound better, you have to be feeling better on some level! It's tough ... I'm still trying to figure out how to get better, too.

oh i also got a entrolab test done it was the cheapist one, but it came back negative for signs of celiac disease so i really am clueless at this point,, still have not gotten near gluten but im starting to get more tempted by things that may have cc issuses (newmans makes gluten free fig nutetens now*but on same line as others*)

If Enterolab came back negative, it sounds like you don't have a problem with gluten. Given your other symptoms, you might find that adrenal fatigue plays a role. The standing up and blacking out, dizziness, cold, anxiety, etc. can be from dehydration, but can also be from adrenal fatigue. It can even cause digestive problems. I'm glad to hear you got the Enterolab tests to start getting some answers.

Has your doc considered Sjogren's Syndrome? I don't know a ton about it bue I just found out that I may have it (from an ANA test). I looked it up and dry eyes and dry mouth are two of the primary symptoms, but there are a TON of other symptoms including joint pain, dizziness, and being cold. I don't have any other advice, but good luck!

How about a Hiatal Hernia. You said sometimes it bluges out below your lungs and you have to push it is and it makes a gurgle sound. I have the same thing.

Also, if your are drinking all that water, your washing all the good stuff out of your body. And go to the drug store and get some B-12 pills. That was the cause of my dizziness.

One way or the other, we're gonna get you well. :P

I was at Starbucks this morning chatting with of all people an infectious disease doctor. Given that you have had severe weight loss and were thought to have celiac symptoms but do not have the disease, what he told me may apply to you. Have you been checked for Whipple's disease? This is way out there, but apparently it shares many symptoms with celiac but is bacterial.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
