Could This Be Celiacs?

[Dancer]

Hi everyone,

I just found your forum since I was searching for information on celiacs. I have had a range of unusual symptoms for a long time and everytime I go to the doctor I feel like a hypochondriac because nothing is done and nothing is found as a reason for these. I will be going for a test soon but can anyone tell me if these things sound like they may be related to celiac disease.

Abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, inability to tolerate many foods like cake, ice cream, buscuits and many others, very severe hay fever and sinusitis, consitpation, unexplained wieght loss, moodiness, irritability, anxiety and depression, sometimes fatique, dry mouth and skin, like an inability to hydrate sometimes.

Other things happen like if I don't take a vitamin B suppliment my hands shake even though I eats loads of foods rich in B vitamins.

There are other things that are listed as symptoms which I seem to never have like diareah (sorry spelling)

Can anyone identify with some of the things here that aren't listed as symptoms?

thanks

The reason why gluten intolerance goes undiagnosed for so long in people is because all of its symptoms are quite vague. Everything you listed could easily point towards gluten intolerance but it certainly doesn't single it out. If you do think that this all may be related to your diet somehow, have you tried keeping a food diary? A written record of what you eat and what symptoms you experience is very very helpful for adequately assessing your situation, it's part of what helped me figure out my health issues.
