About Me

28/F/WI. Started getting sick 7/2010 (4 months post partum), main symptom constant diarrhea if I ate ANYTHING within 10 minutes of my first bite and stabbing abdominal pain. 135 lb weight loss over the course of 3 months. Started by my doctors on a gluten free diet 10/2010, after slightly positive blood antigen test. Officially diagnosed with Celiac's Disease 4/2011 after genetic testing came back DQ-2 DQ-8. Stopped losing weight after going gluten free (haven't gained or lost, holding steady), rarely have diarrhea anymore (no more than any normal person). Continue to have on-going intestinal issues, which are still under observation by by GI. Have had 3 colonoscopies along with one endoscopy in the last 18 months, with them only finding the last 6-8 inches of colon being very inflamed. biopsies r coming back normal... but if anyone else is dealing with something similar I'd love to hear from you. I dunno if it's celiac related or I'm just battling multiple diseases. I'm very VERY careful about gluten... I avoid it like the plague, and GI saw no evidence of celiac damage at last colonoscopy, so still have no answers about ongoing GI issues or what is causing inflammation.
