The Two Phrases I Don't Want To Say Anymore...

It seems that for as long as I can remember I have said "My belly hurts" and "I'm so tired". Almost every day of my life. :( And ya know, it kind of sucks.

To think that just changing my diet could possibly "cure" me is an unimaginable concept.

To think that I could actually feel "good"...really feel good for once. Man, that would be priceless.

Here's hoping.

I'll second that!.. I just learned to live with all the dis-conforts, but it was the many years of the DH itch that finally got diagnosed 2 months ago.. Life is getting a little better each day..

Have you just been diagnosed or are you giving it a go yourself? Either way good luck and I wish you good health and hope your stommach issues VANISH!

Were working on figuring out mine, after 2 negative blood tests and doctors who treated us like I'm stupid and making it up, I hope enterolab will give me some info, although i know it wont diagnose me I'd like to have some insight on genes, etc..

Sure do know. I hope the diet helps you. The diagnosis process can be a long and hard one for some of us. It sure was for me. LOL If the diet helps it can seem almost miraculous the difference in the way we feel. It is hard at first and there is a lot to learn but it is so worth it if gluten is causing the issues.

No diagnosis yet and I don't want to talk myself into having celiac disease or GS. I know how I am. A little bit of knowledge can be dangerous! It's just eery how I have so many of the "symtoms" that I am reading about.

My latest "thing" is completely forgetting to finish a word or a thought. I'll start a sentence and just stop. My husband will look at me like "well?" and I just can't remember the word.

I do have ADD that i am not treating because the meds cause headaches.

Ya know...now that I think about it...at my last visit with my rheumatologist, I was told that I had very low vitamin D deficiency (22 ng/ml) and I think she also told me that my B12 was low too.

I was given a prescription for 50,000 units of Vit D and she told me to buy OTC calcium and B12.

Putting all of the pieces together brings the big picture together, doesn't it?

I'll get there.

Hurry up 8/31!!!!!

Good luck on your testing! I hope you'll give the gluten-free diet a test run even if your tests are negative. That's the only way you'll know.

The phrase I never want to say again is "I'm so tired of being tired."

Don't let the test results stop you from trying the diet. I had negative bloodwork ( had been gluten free for a month - duh, doc), and negative endo ( quick look - 1 biopsy), but went on the diet anyway. I knew my body. Am feeling better every day. Try the diet for a few months and see if thats what it is. Good luck.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
