I was diagnosed with celiac over the summer. Earlier this week, after having increased stomach pain, I had another endoscopy. It showed that I had an extremely rare type of gastritis called collagenous gastritis. My doctor wants to put me on steroids but I have absolutely no interest in being put on steroids. I want my stomach to grt better because it's very very inflamed, however the side effects of steroids are too crazy for me. I am in high school and there is no way I can have my face break out and be puffy and not get enough sleep. I get side effects from every medication soi know I will react negatively with steroids. Are there any other medicines I can take?

Are you strict about gluten free? Do you cook for yourself or does your parents? Have the necessary precautions been taken to minimize/eliminate cross contamination?

You should look into going on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Before being diagnosed with Celiac I was told I had gastritis after going to the emergency room for abdominal pain. I was on prednisone for severe uticaria (hives) and swelling. Prednisone has a lot of side effects and isn't a good medication to be on for an extended period of time. I hated how I felt on prednisone. I'm thankful I'm off and hope I dont need to go back on it. I gained 30 pounds on prednisone and was swollen with fluid retention. Try to stay active and drink lots of water to prevent fluid retention.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
