Now I've Done It

Hello Everyone

I'm new here, but I've been reading posts for about a month.

Here's my story- I've had digestive issues ALL of my life and I'm 54. A few months ago I went on the South Beach diet, and they miraculously disappeared! I cheated, and started feeling sick again. I just happened to read a blog written by someone with Celiac, and it sounded very much like me. Since then I've been doing a lot of reading.

I have an appointment with my doctor at the end of this month, where I will ask to be tested. I've been sure to eat gluten everyday. Yesterday I WAY over did it, and I've been sick as a dog since. I feel like I'm burned from my lips all the way to the other end( without being graphic).

Up until now, I haven't had many episodes of diarreah, just terrible bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. I made up for it in a big way today!!

Make sure to atleast eat the equiv of 4 slices of bread a day.

How long have you been not eating gluten...normally when you do a gluten challenge, it's for longer than a month.

I also wanted to know for sure and did the testing.

I hope you find your answers.

I've been back on gluten since the beginning of December. I'll try gluten again tomorrow, but NOT today.

Good Luck with your testing!

      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.
