marijuana will only stunt ur emotional/intellectual development and not cure you of any other symptoms--just temporarily cover them up while damaging your brain cells.

My bro started smoking pot at age 13 & now he's a 50 yo man with the mind/emotional maturity of a 13 yo. no wife, no money, no kids, just lives minute to minute stoned.

are you eating gluten-free? if so for how long? The pain may eventually subside. It often does.If you can't sleep get a sleep study done . They will determine why you can't sleep (if its physical like apnea) How is ur mattress?--perhaps its not right for you & you may need a new one. For anxiety take yoga, & learn how to relax, exercise helps too--swimming, aerobics, weightlifting, dancing, whatever you like. Perhaps some short term counseling for your anxiety will help you learn to solve problems rather than getting anxious & fearful about them.

You see there are many ways to deal with what you are going thru in a constructive positive way rather than being stoned on pot.--legally or not.

Please get the proper help that you need--I assure you medical marijuana is not the answer.

That is something you should talk to your doctor about. It could be helpful for some issues but it does have drawbacks when abused. Celiac is one of the diseases that it is approved for in some states. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it could be useful or suitable for you.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
