Undiagnosed Illness 6 Years

[undiagnosedillness]

Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone (and hope I've picked the right section to post ?

I've been undiagnosed for just on 6 years now, many different symptoms, my own research lead me here no harm in trying the gluten free diet even though testing was negative.

After reading several pages here it seems alot of people suffer a whole range of health problems you'd never think gluten intolerance could answer for .....

Anyway I hope to find the answers to my undiagnosed illness, still struggling after all this time so I've just started the gluten free diet this week

Cheers

Samantha

Welcome to the board. I hope you are feeling better soon. There is a lot of support here. Ask any questions you need to as the first couple months can be difficult.

Thanks for the welcome

Im shocked at how many people have health issues because of undiagnosed gluten intolerance, I feel like I've hit a gold mine with all this info !

Cheers

Have you gone gluten free or are you getting tested first?

I haven't had any testing done in years, once back in 2005 which was negative. I have no faith in Doctors so just trying my luck with a gluten free diet because I've got alot of bowel issues and the first week gluten free I must say feels good, sorry if too much info but I haven't been constipated this week and that is very very rare for me so I must be onto something

PS- I've had so many tests/scans in the past which all came back normal so I just don't trust Doctor or machines these days.

I've tested positive to IBS, Fibromyalgia, Costochondritis, Neuropathic pain, the list is endless I could go on and on and Doctors can't help me so it's time for some big Diet changes, I really didn't think food could cause so much pain but perhaps it is causing some of my health concerns ???

Sorry I tend to babble abit
