Celiac And Gastroparesis?

[Kamie]

I was recently diagnosed with both of these conditions. I'm adjusting pretty well, but it still sucks. I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm curious to know if having BOTH conditions is pretty common?

It'd be nice to have someone my age to talk to who is going through it too. I hate being 19 and having all these problems!

Hi Kamie,

I do know that there are others that have been diagnosed with both, as every so often I see a thread on Gastroparesis. (You may want to do some searching on the board). However, I don't know how active previous posters to this topic are.

I don't want to get your hopes up but I did want to share my daughter's experience. She was originally diagnosed with both Celiac and Gastroparesis. Even at the time of diagnosis, the GI said that the Gastroparesis may be caused by the Celiac and that after she has been gluten free for a while that the gastroparesis may resolve itself. In her case it did . . . and it took about 10 months to completely go away.

It seems like this is pretty common

Whoa, sorry it took so long to reply. I see a specialist Monday, so hopefully we cant get it all figured out. Thanks so much for the info! =)

And Janet, I'm really glad to hear your daughters success story! =)
