Sypmtoms Coming And Going

[MollyBeth]

So I am waiting to do my endoscopy coming up in October. I've already had a negative blood test but still had strong symptoms after that. I'm still eating gluten filled foods while waiting for the endo and I've noticed that my sypmtoms come and go. A week ago I was having loose stools and going often...but now I'm just having gas problems and stomach problems (pain, acid reflux ect.) but with solid stools (I actuallyl feel like I'm not getting it all out) sorry about the grossness... I was wondering if anyone else had these on and off symptoms before diagnosis or if they should be constant??

I think that is common, yes.

This sounds just like me! I've been going through the same exact thing. I tested neg too on the blood test. I just had my endo and colonoscopy and will see my doc tomorrow for results. I don't know if I have celiacs, some kind of intolerance, or something else; I was wondering too if symptoms for Celiacs came in waves. I wish I could be more help, but just know you're not alone.

My symptoms came and went for years. After I started to menstruate they seemed to be worse during the two weeks before my period and then would get a bit better. For a time I thought everything was hormonal in origin. The last 10 to 15 years before I was diagnosed they did progress to an everyday part of life and escalated in severity at that point.
