Just an update. Of course my celiac panel came back negative since I have been gluten free for three months. The doc suspected it would be negative. Anyway, I just feel so weak to the point where I am going to pass out. I stopped my vitamins for a while thinking that they were not helping but started back on them yesterday. I just feel like walking death...

Does anyone else deal with all over body achyness? I just would like to experience a day without feeling achy all over. What do you take or do to cope? Would taking Tylenol help me?

Today I am feeling like crap. Head fog, back pain, dizziness, and feeling achy. Yesterday I decided to go to a salon and get a weave since I hadn't had my hair done in 8 months. Because I was feeling good, I also decided to get some fake glue on nails and put them on. Then, on the way home I picked up a few groceries including ready to eat bacon. Do...

Today I met with the GI. He was very kind. We discussed my symptoms, diet , and history. He ordered a full serum celiac panel which I also had done today. I have been gluten free for 11 weeks. Will all my tests come back negative or what all are they testing for with a full celiac panel? Are they testing for more than just gluten intolerance? I am...

I wrote to them and this was the repsonse. They said that the following ingredients had gluten: Wheat--------Triticum Vulgare Oat------------Avena Sativa Barley--------Hordeum Distichon Rye-----------Secale Cereale Soy-----------Glycina soja

Thanks Jay and Debbie. I will keep posted you on my dx. Not sure if it is celiac but am leaning towards that. I will post whatever I find out so others may learn. I have improved on the gluten-free diet but I am not sure if that is the whole story with me. Good luck to all and Thanks!!

Debbie, what is your story if I may ask and did Dr. Stiff want to do a Colonoscopy? What tests had you already gone through if you want to share. Thanks.

I think this thread is a sign from above. I have an appointment set up with Dr. Michael Stiff at the beginning of February. My mom is a patient of his and says he listens and is so kind. She just had an appointment with him and while there, explained the heck I have been going through. He sounded very interested in seeing me and said that I deserve a...

Toss the beans in 3 T. of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Next take 5 green beans and wrap with a piece of bacon and put in a baking dish. Continue until...

I just got back from the store and bought some cherry sour ball candy. I ate about 10 of them not thinking that there would be a reaction but now my neck glands are swollen, and I feel light headed. I keep trying to introduce new things into my boring diet of healthy food but my body is rebelling. Anyone else have reactions from Cherry sour ball candy...

I have an appointment with my first GI in a few weeks. The tests that I have had so far are: Full blood count-normal Urine-normal fecal tests-normal CT-small diverticuli but other than that-clean as a whistle MRI-small kdiney lesion and lower L-4-L-5 protrusion in spine HLA B27-positive What else can he test me for? Is it worth while to be tested...

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!! My mother gave me a jar of Chukar popcorn with dried cherries and pecans for Christmas. This stuff is to die for!!! IT HAS NO SULFITES OR PRESERVATIVES. IT IS GLUTEN FREE AND KOSHER(it says so on their web site) I normally get sick on regular popcorn(I don't know why). But this stuff I can eat by the truck load and not get sick...

My mom visited Wild Oats today looking for gluten free foods to surprise me with today. While at the store, my mother was asking for assistance and the clerk said that more and more customers are coming in looking for gluten free foods due to celiac.

My bad reaction to the Hep B shot was: Within the hour severe D and shakey legs. Within a week I became allergic to all foods, had heart palps, slept 18-20 hours a day, could not stand for long periods of time, had fuzzy vision, unclear thinking, lost 15 pounds in two weeks, had severe D, felt like immune sytem was in over drive and still is, felt like...

Whenever I am sick with something, I can always feel my body's white blood cells fighting off what is attacking me. I just feel like I have a low grade fever all the time with this. I am sure it is a huge response to the Hep B shot.(received a year ago) I also have Ankolosing Spondylitis which was set off by the vaccine. After the shot, I became highly...
