Could This Be Celiac Disease?

[mike joyce]

hi

i would just like an opinion if this sounds like celiac disease

over the last 9 months or so i have have gotten really bad stomach pains about 3 times, they come on for about 10 minutes and then just disappear

and then in the last about 3 months i have been getting like white stuff(after research i think it is called candida) on the back of my tongue, after scraping it off and brushing my teeth and using mouthwash, it just returns very quickly, and it leaves a real bad taste in my mouth

also, a couple of times it is like a weird smell is coming from my mouth, like a stale smell, i thought it was coming from my nose but i might just be imagining it

i should also point out that a close family member found out they had it a few years ago, thats how i know about

i was told to get checked out but i never did

could these symptoms be celiac? thanks in advance

There are a ton of varying symptoms that people can get with celiac disease. Yours might be related or might not. If you have a relative with celiac the chances are higher that you could have it. So it might be a good idea to talk to your doc, or maybe your relative's doc who has celiac. One typical symptom is gas and bloating which can cause pain. I suppose you might also have an ulcer too. If it keeps happening a trip to the doctor seems like a wise thing to do. Some people keep a food journal to document their symptoms after eating foods. This migh thelp you pinpoint if the pain follows eating certain foods.
