Is This Celiac? If Not, What Is It?

[cvll]

Here's my symptoms:

Super sticky/bulky? stools with blobs of white attached

Hair loss(very thin)

stomach aches

pretty sure I have some kind of dairy problem, so have given up completely(i was having constant mucas stools little bits at a time, gone now)

Very dry palms of hands and soles of feet

Feel like all my guts are falling out

Tired/irritable/etc.

Can't seem to gain a lot of weight even though I eat well/a lot

Bloating

Sometimes feel constipated

My mother has Sjorgens Syndrome

I was blood tested by a GI doctor back in Nov. and she said it all came back fine. Still feel like something is wrong. Also had abdominal/pelvic ct scans done and all fine too.

Hi cvll,

It looks like your post fell through the cracks here. Sorry you didn't get any replies at all!!! That's frustrating.

I don't know if you'll read this at all but I wanted to say that your symptoms seem to be celiac. I have not been diagnosed but from what I've read it seems like it could be celiac. I personally think that the blood tests can come back negative if the disease has just started developing. In other words, it might have been negative a year ago, but now (after continuing to eat gluten of course), you might get positive results.

I am definitely going to get tested even if original results were negative. You should too, unless you are willing to just skip the diagnosis and try a gluten-free diet. If your body responds well to it, it might be all you need! Good luck!
