Hi all! I have had the big D. for 4 years straight (not one day off)3-10 times daily. I was diagnosed with celiac and have been gluten free for 3 1/2 years.....and still it continues. Has anyone had the same and asked their doctor about Habba Syndrome.....? Or had their doctor think of Habba?

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago and have been glutenfree since then - I do not feel any better today than I did then - maybe even worse. New symptoms - For the past 2 months I have been having one eye nearly close on me - I have no control of it. It droops for just a minute or two. I do not think this is related to celiac disease - what...

I was diagnosed with celiac disease based on a biopsy. I have seen some posts here about enterolab - and they included stats on things other than gladian(SP?). An example is casein - so enterolab can tell you whether of not you have problems with things other than the gladian? If this is the case, why wouldn't a doctor tell you to get this done when symptoms...

Hi Elfkin - Firstly, I am sorry to hear about your son's health concerns. It is difficult enough to go through the frustrations of our own health concerns but I know first hand that it is far more difficult when it is your child. I am unsure if I should be telling you about my son's conditions or not - I do not want to cause you undue stress. Until your...

Thanks for all of your feedback and I knew when writing my post some people would not understand why I would do this to myself - and that is okay - I see your point. My point in intentionally having some gluten yesterday was to see if it is in fact gluten that is making me sick - as in my symptoms. I know that it destroys my intestines/villi and that is...

Thank you all for your input.....I guess I should try an elimination diet to see if I feel better without everything but "whole foods". I just don't know if I can do it - I love food too much!!! I was diagnosed with celiac 14 months ago after blood test and colonoscopy and endoscopy. My doctors say there is something else but never make any suggestions...

Okay - I have been glutenfree for 14 months and I have not felt any better. For some time now I have thought about eating something with gluten intentionally to see what would happen. Yesterday was the day I finally tried it. I have felt the same as always - my symptoms the same but no worse. How does this make sense? There will not be another day of...

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. My gut tells me that it is related to eating and not smoking and it is hard when a doctor doesn't really listen. (I am going to attempt to quit smoking anyway). You have all validated my thoughts so I thank you so much......Noel

Does anyone have their breathing change after they eat - mine gets much shallower and rapid. My doctor has told me it is because I smoke.....granted, I should quit smoking but if this is the case I have gotten very out of shape in just one year - doesn't seem right to me.

Hi all - Is microscopic colitis genetic? I have celiac disease and yet I have not gotten any better after 1 1/2 years gluten free. The doctors keep telling me there is something more yet are doing nothing about it (I need to find a new doctor!) My son had colitis......thus my question whether or not it is genetic.....thanks

Hi Lynda - I can relate Lynda.....I finally got to see my specialist again last week after being told one year ago that I had celiac disease. For an entire year I stayed gluten free and was somewhat obsessive about cross contamination. My symptoms have not improved at all. I have been very frustrated with myself wondering what I am doing wrong and what...

Hi Everyone! I very rarely eat out since diagnoses however on occasion I will for the social aspect. I usually have a salad with oil and vinegar. The other day I ordered my salad explaining I only wanted vegetables and some cheese (I can handle cheese). About half way through eating this I noticed that the cheese looked a little "white". A memory from...

Thanks for the input jmengert and cassidy.....I will worry no longer!
