Celiac Since 2008, Recently New Symptoms. Help!

please help. I have no insurance anymore, so I can't see my gastroenterologist because I can't afford to. I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2008 and have felt healthy since I started gluten free diet. I try to stay strict, but sometimes I "guess" if I think something is gluten free and may be eating some gluten by accident. Three weeks ago I started having diarrhea, bloating, gas, and blood in my stool. I went to the ER and they gave me pills to stop the diarrhea. It works. But, I still feel full of gas, diarrhea, and bloody stools when I eat something that is 100% gluten free. I have recently started eating lactose free diet too. I learned that sometimes the two go hand in hand and possibly me not being a diligent gluten free eater maybe my villi are damaged and I am unable to tolerate lactose? Just ideas?? I have turned in stool samples to the hospital recently and they are testing me for parasites, CDIFF, salmonella, etc. I don't think its something like that. I feel like I am possibly eating something that doesn't agree with me? Please help! I haven't lost any weight, but I feel unusually tired. I am a mother of three and a Respiratory therapy student and I am exposed to a lot of sickness. I just need opinions or help from someone who is or has gone through something like this? PLEASE HELP!! Thank you so much if you are reading this. Love to all. xoxo

I don't know if this applies to you or not. At first I was fine with normal gluten free food. Then even the small amount allowed in it started to bother me. Maybe that is what happened to you. I do well with whole foods. Good luck to you. I hope you figure things out.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
