where to start wow its been quite the struggle and life style change that got me here to this point

i guess it all started around the end of feb(2011)i started getting diareah and it progressively got worse to the point i ended up in the hosp for a week, my bowels just would not stop, i had a colonoscpy, with the bowel prep for that i ended up getting so bad i was passing bowel tissue i had to rest for 2 days before the or trip, 2 weeks have passed my system has calmed down some what but i am still haveing painful bowel movements and bouts of diareah and have not consumed lactose since this all started, i was eating purley gluten foods and feeling so horrible all over my entire body and my lower back started hurting so bad had a surg a few years ago)

then i got talking to an aunt and found out that many members of my family have celeic, i had a follow up with the dr that did the colonoscopy and said that i get my gp to do a blood test , so i went and got that done yesterday, now today im going to go gluten free

i bought cereal and some snack foods and ill be searching my eyes off for meal ideas

i have not much support from the dh until i am legally diagnosed and i have a feeling that it might be easier said that done as its so hard to get a solid diagnoses,

i am to go in for a upper gi june 6th, now if i eat gluten free for the rest of this month and then eat gluten 2 weeks before the test will it show up on the test?

thanks in advance for your support

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

One, get proper care, two, not get worse.Im falling apart, stressed out, in pain and just opened email from Stanford stating I was rude ect.I want that video reviewed by higher ups and see if that women still has a job or not.Im saying this because I've been medically screwed and asking for help because bills don't pay itself. This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers
