It's been 7 months of deathly nausea, gas, pain, tests and frustration. I am good mentally but do not know where to turn. Other than thyroid disease, hysterectomy, and now a year of watery diarrhea and severe nausea and gas, I have been healthy. I am so sick. gall bladder surgeon thinks I'm nuts and gp has given up on me. thank you, elaine

Join the club. So many of us have had doctors that haven't had a clue what was wrong with us. Your symptoms may indicate Celiac Disease. But I would also advise not to put all your apples in one basket.

Have you done a search for Celiac Disease as there is good information on the Internet. The site here can be worth it's gold in information for those that are suffering. Read as much as you can on the posts here. It will be incredibly information.

To help us help you, please give us a little more background regarding your symptoms and a time frame. Celiac often need as trigger to kick in full blown symptoms as, stress, birth, mono, illness.

There is a reason for your discomfort and it may be Celiac.

Have you been tested for celiac disease? The blood test is easy, but you need to be gluten-free.

Have you tried the diet? If you respond well to being gluten-free, you can do the diet without anyone's permission or support ... and I'm talking specifically about doctors.

No one has ever suffered from going lguten free. I agree. You could get the blood test done, and see where that gets you, but in the mean time, you could trial the gluten free diet and see what happens.

All the other memebrs of my household (those old enough to speak) tell me that they notice less gassy and bloated when they follow my diet with me for a few days. There may be something there. It can't hurt.
