Been Dealing With This For Almost 6 Years

Hello everyone! I am new here and thought I would share my story as I was shocked to actually find some other people who share the same symptoms as i do. So I guess I am not crazy! LOL Well it all started when I was pregnant with my daughter 5 1/2 years ago. I found that while I was pregnant, my body would go up and down in weight daily (about 10 to 12 pounds daily). The doctors were worried about the baby because of It, even though my child was fine. After I delievered my daughter I was hoping these weird weight fluctuations would stop,but of course they didn't. Some days I can go up 12 pounds! I have good days, where I can actually fit into my clothes. But more often then not I have bad days where my clothes don't fit at all. One day I can fit into my clothes and the next day I CANT! It Is sooo frustrating! I have measured my thighs and found one day from the next there can be a 1 1/2 inch diffrence! I have been to the doctors about this and have been laughed at! I have went to specialists and been told that It's all in my head!! I was told It Is not possible to gain that much weight daily!! My bloodwork has come back time and time again perfect. So I am not sure what Is wrong with me. I talked to a Natural doctor and was told that my symptoms sound like celiac disease, so thats why I am here.She also told me I might have Yeast Overgrowth (or something like that). Do you guys think with my symptoms and problems that Celiac disease might be what I have? Please let me know as I am tired of dealing with It! Thanks!

hey michelle! don't worry you're not alone. i too can gain up too about 8lbs a day. i haven't measured anywhere other than my stomach due to the fact that that is where i "swell" become distended after i eat anything. this has been going on everyday for over 3 years. i too have been told all of this is in my head. right! i have just recently found a GI doc. that is thinking i may have celiac disease and we're in the process of running test. after all i've been through i will welcome a gluten free diet with open arms if that is what it takes for my symptoms to go away.

Thanks for the reply! I hate having to deal with this daily. Yes my stomach swell's as well. People actually thought I was pregnant at times. Isn't It crap that doctors who we think we can trust will laugh In our faces and tell us "It's all In our heads" I have been following a gluten free diet for about 2 weeks now and I feel a little better, but I still seem to swell up a little still. I guess I will have to give It more time to see what happens. I really think that this Is what I have. I know I have food Intolerances as I only feel bad when I eat. The weird thing Is, Is that I tend to swell up even after drinking water. I find that very weird. Thanks again kerry,

Michelle

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
