  1. after a few months gluten free, i feel relatively the same. so aside from the gas and stomach "sensations" i get, i feel great.
  2. i've been gluten-free for a few months now and still feel some effects an hour after a meal -gurgle / stomach wants to flip sensation ( almost like an empty stomach hunger pang ) -a warm feeling in the abdomen that is not constant -foul gas i also get these symptoms first thing when i wake up in the am. i'm certain there is no gluten in these meals...
  3. I was diagnosed and been gluten free for about 2-1/2 weeks and feel no better nor worse. I feel great except for the same symptom of getting hunger pangs / acidic stomach, and then gas 30 min after a meal. The meals I have been preparing have NO gluten or lactose in them, I'm positive. It would appear that something still is not right. It's not normal...

    ARCHIVED Connecticut Celiac Docs

    Looking for a second opinion, any Doctor recomendations ? Thanks
  5. forgive me if this has been said before, but can't wheat, rye, and barley be further genetically altered to remove the toxins that hurt celiacs ?
  6. If I have celiac ,my brothers and sisters may also have it if it's genetic. I am the first one in my family ( the youngest though ) to have gone through the process of determining that I have it, no one else has experienced any substantial symptoms to prompt them to go to the doctor. Yes, I know, there can be no symptoms. My question to you all with siblings...
  7. I just had one done this past wednesday, it really was soo easy, quick, painless. I didn't even need to sleep off the drugs the rest of the day. I was put out, but not totally..more like a twilight state..not too bad at all. Apparently its' considered the best test for these GI issues, but still not always accurate. Good luck, it's really not a big deal...
  8. I have blood tested with elevated TTG antibodies and my endoscopy shows an inflamed/ erythema duodenum, but no lab results back yet. My symptoms are occasional minor bloating, occasional minor upper abdomen burning sensation after a meal and occasional flatulence, but no other typical celiac symptoms. My overall health and feeling is good. I have eaten gluten...
  9. so i just had it done, a piece of cake ! my doc wasn't so detailed in his findings, but i did see that he wrote down something to the effect of " no sprue " but the duodenum was a little inflamed. nothing was said about the vill. perhaps he has some thoughts, but is waiting on the lab results to see if there is any damge. i have tested posiive for TTg...
  10. is it typical that my blood test did not check for anti-gliaden IgG and anti-endomysium ? just wondering that if the entire " panel " was not done, how accurate is the bloodwork ?
  11. Right, everyone's different. I am getting nutrition based on my weight, acitivity and overall health. I feel great. I have always had lower ferritin all my life, and at 32, I'm thriving. Yes something is wrong with my digestion with regards to excessive gas which is occasional and bloating which is also occasional. My question was if anyone has had a...
  12. i got my blood test results back and the "TTG IgG AB" is high at 81 and ferritin was slightly low, so the doc wants to do a biopsy tomorrow. I am totally shocked that the blood tests is pointing towards a celiac condition. once i learned that I may have celiac, I've been monitoring when I eat wheat , barley and/or rye and feel no ill effects ? Yes, I know...
  13. my weight has been steady for as long as I can remeber. no fatigue. my gassiness is not consistent as sometimes after a meal, I'm like a ticking bomb of gas. Other times, I can eat the same meal and be fine ??
  14. hi, first poster here. I'm not sure yet what my gastro condition is. I went to the doc yesterday and am scheduled for the blood test panel. from what i'm reading on this forum, my symptoms don't seem to point to a gluten intolerance. this past year, it seems that I am more often a little bloated and or flatulent to the point where it is affecting my life...
