I'll be turning 40 soon and I've always had tummy issues as long as I can remember. After a lifetime of mysterious medical symptoms (joint pain that's not arthritis, unexplained back and neck pain, terrible GI problems, foggy mind, forgetfulness, terrible fatigue....) I finally found information online about Celiac disease. I went straight to a specialist who took me off of gluten and dairy. I tested negative for Celiac but I believe it to be a false result because my symptoms match so exact to what others suffer with, plus many members of my family have the same problems. I believe my grandmother died from complications related to it. (early 1990s))

Since being gluten/dairy free I'm about 80% better. I'm still getting the hang of it. I'm glad I found this message board!!! Reading the posts here have been sooo helpful! <3

I am extremely intolerant to gluten and still tested negative for Celiac disease. If removing gluten is making you better, please stick to it. I've been strictly gluten/dairy/soy free for 16 months and it's bettered my life in so many ways.

Thanks Kwylee and Tira :-) I wish I'd known about a gluten free diet years ago. Being so sick all of those years affected my life in major ways.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      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!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      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?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      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?
