It definitely sounds like you've got a lot of symptoms that many people on this board experience as a result of their Celiac or gluten intolerance. It couldn't hurt to see your doctor and ask for a blood test/Celiac panel.

I have a small intestine biopsy scheduled for 6-24. That's the soonest they could work me in. I hate it because I really want to go gluten free now. But I don't want to mess up the test

Don't go gluten free yet even though it may be tempting because you will feel better (I'm sure you know that). You have almost all of the same symptoms I do. I will never get diagnosed because I started gluten free first and I will never go back to eating gluten so I can get tested. But yes, your symptoms sound very much like mine...stick it out hopefully the end is near!:-)

I guess I just keep doubting it. Like part of me thinks they'll do the test and it will be negative. I don't know many obese people talking about having celiacs

While the more common presentation in celiac disease is being underweight due to malabsorption, some people gain weight due to celiac disease, and lose it after going gluten-free. Sadly, there are still some doctors out there who believe that if you are overweight you can not have celiac disease. :angry:

I was shocked my doctor even agreed to test me with my weight issue. I think I'll cry if I'm not a celiac. It means I have all these problems listed above plus some and no answers as to why

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
