Hi everyone, this website is brilliant.

So basically i thought I'd give this a go see what you all think....

Just wondering if you think this is celiac, like if it sounds like the kinds of symptoms you guys had?

I'm 18 and I've always been ridiculously skinny, when I was younger I would constantly eat and always be hungry and was still really really underweight, I went to the doctors when I was about 14 because I started getting really bad diorrhea( sorry but I doubt you guys have any hang ups about discussing bowel problems!haha) and bad smelling wind etc...

they wanted to do more tests but I didn't want to do anything because I didn't think there was any problems because I was so used to feeling ill!

But anyway, a couple of months ago I suddenly started getting REALLY badly bloated all the time, burping alot and feeling really tired how I used to when I was younger, but without the diorrhea, but kind of yellowy poos :S haha

Doctor originally said it was IBS but I've now been referred to a gastroenterologist who's done blood tests which I'm waiting for results for, and am having a gastroscopy...?(camera down stomach thing) in june, he said he suspects celiac.

Just wondering what you all think, any help would be much appreciated!

Sounds like classic symptoms, other than that I don't know what to tell you.

Yep you do sound like you could be one of the family. One thing that is important is that you make sure you keep eating a gluten diet until all the testing is done. After you have your scope you can then try the diet, you don't have to wait on the results. You may have the answer before you even go to the followup by your response to the diet.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
