i have always had stomach problems. with long bouts of constipation then alternating with the other. i thought it was a problem with milk so i cut that out. but i still have problems!! and over the last couple months, i've been feeling very tired, foggy headed, anxious, a sort of tightness in my chest, and nausea and all this on top of the stomach issues! i craved bread and cereals but i'd feel so full and bloated when i ate too much. and when i had pizza i'd get super thirsty, like i couldn't get enough water. a friend of mine told me i may have a gluten intolerance. i just don't know! but i also read that a lot of you guys just got a run around from the doctors so i hate to go that route and be out a lot of time and money. does this seem like it's gluten related? i also worry that gluten may affect my son. he has frequent stomach aches and he has soft spots on a couple teeth. help!

Hi,and welcome.

Certainly sounds like you could have a problem with gluten. Try eliminating it for a week and see what happens (and I mean all of it, meaning you have to read the labels). If you feel better, you can go back on it after a week and it shouldn't affect testing much although your symptoms may be worse. Your son could also have inherited this from you, with dental enamel being a common celiac symptom, along with his stomach aches.

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      I did reach out to them on April 4th and left a message. I will try calling again. Thank you!
