    Lately I have been severely bloated after i eat Baskin Robbins ice cream, or when i eat too much. I get really uncomfortable,followed by these quick little sensations that feel like my heart flips and i get dizzy. It only lasts like 2 seconds and then it will happen again, every 30 minutes or so. It feels like a quick adrenaline rush, then a flip flop...

    Ask your doctor for the celiac panel blood test. It sounds like a dfinite possibility you could have celiac. You may also look into getting an ELISA allergy blood test done to check for other food intolerances.

    For the food allergy test you can try US Biotek and order the food allergy panel (your doctor has to order it), if you want convenience you can order an at home finger prick test (96 food allergy panel ELISA) from optimum health resources $379 Open Original Shared Link

    Your GI doctor should schedule you for a blood test (celiac Panel). If your results are positive for ttg,ema antibodies then she might schedule you for an upper endoscopy, but not a colonoscopy. Ask your gi doctor for the celiac blood test. It should take a few days to get your results. In the mean time dont go gluten free as it will affect the accuracy...

    My doctor filled out a lab form for the ELISA food allergy test, and the only lab we use here is Specialty Labs, and they test for foods one at a time. I am looking for a lab that will test for everything (100 things) so I can rule out what is causing reactions, before i do an elimination diet. I remember some people on here talking about an ELISA test...

    I have celiac and have never been anemic. Its very common to be anemic because of absorption problems, but not always the case.

    It sounds like celiac to me, or maybe a gluten intolerance issue. Don't be fooled in thinking you may not have celiac because you havent lost weight. About 1/2 of celiacs dont have weight loss at all, and many gain weight. You may check and see if you are hypothyroid also (hashimotos) it is pretty common in woman with Celiacs Disease. Stick to a gluten...

    does anyone else have weak legs all of the time. My upper body feels pretty strong, however my legs always feel tired and weak. I am very good about following the gluten free diet and i cant figure out why my legs have no strength. I am pretty active, And 27 years old. Its not like i cant walk, but their just not the same. Should i try to build them...

    Fecal anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA antibody 6 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) IgA 7 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Anti-Soy IgA 10 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Does this mean i should avoid soy? What do you think? It's right on 10,so what should i do?

    Go to walgreens and pick up Nature Made Acidophilus pills. Take 2 a day. Also Threelac is very good, but you have to order online.

    I had a borderline positive biopsy and they said i had inflammation in my duodenum. My blood tests actually confirmed the biopsy, which is backwards from the way celiac is normally diagnosed. I didnt feel better for a while after going gluten free (4 months) and i still have off and on issues. 5 weeks is very short to throw in the towel. It takes a while...

    I was really nervous before the procedure, but let me tell you that when it was over i was so mad at myself for putting myself through all the nervousness and anxiety for such an easy, painless, comfortable procedure. There is nothing to be afraid of, it is a simple procedure that lasts like 15 minutes. Dont worry, youll be fine.

    I drive quite a bit and use a laptop, but not for really long intervals. Im in sales and all the orders i do are on the laptop. I do notice my posture when sitting is kind of hunched over, with high shoulders, and fairly tense. I try to remember to relax and release the tension when sitting at a table and using the laptop. Thanks guys

    Thanks.........that makes sense since the headache usually subsides for a while when im doing physical activity (maybe the tension gets released when im active). The gym always takes my headache away. What do you think causes my eyes to always feel heavy and tired?

    I have been dealing with this dull headache daily and a slightly stiff neck. I was wondering if this could be caused by a food intolerance. I am very good about being gluten free, but could this be caused by soy or dairy. I had my eyes and sinuses checked out and all is good. In the early evening i will get heavy eyes that feel a little sore and a little...

    If they fry their own chips you be getting CC from contaminated fry oil! Just a thought.

    Whenever i eat a lot of crappy food at night (sugar,candy,snacks), i wake up and feel tired, usually witha headache.

    I have only heard of tests being done by stool,blood,and the skin prick tests.

    I am having my first child in Nov. I was curious what the statistical odds are of my child having celiac. My wife doesnt have the disease, just me. (%)
