ARCHIVED Wrong Self Diagnosis?
Swthrtpookie replied to woolwhippet's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I haven't gone gluten free yet but I thought I would throw you some advice for getting your kids to eat better. I have a 5 and a 6 year old. To get them to eat healthy I talk to them about how eating the right foods helps us to stay healthy and strong. They are also taking gymnastics and getting into soccer so we explain to them if they want to be able... -
ARCHIVED "rice Krispy" Looking Stool
Swthrtpookie replied to dally099's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm glad you asked this question cuz I was curious what exactly fatty stool was too. I think this is the perfect forum for asking this question so I don't think you should be embarrassed for asking it. I'll be watching to see if anyone posts a reply cuz I'd like to know too. I just thought I'd let you know you weren't the only one wondering. -
ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do
Swthrtpookie replied to Swthrtpookie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just wanted to update everyone on what was going on. I went to my old doctor yesterday and he is so much better at listening. He thinks I have Crohn's but he also tested me for Celiac. So after the bloodwork comes back on that he wants me to get a colonoscopy. Which I'm really not looking forward to doing. I'm finishing up my last semester in college... -
ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I have an appointment Thursday with my old doctor so hopefully he will be more open to testing me for celiac. I'm really lucky that my husband is being really supportive and is willing to try the gluten free diet with me when I start it. Now I just need to figure out what to feed us. I'm having a problem figuring... -
ARCHIVED Planning For Gluten Free Diet
Swthrtpookie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi I haven't been diagnosed celiac, but I am getting ready to try the gluten free diet if I don't get any answers soon. Luckily my husband is supportive and is going to try it with me. My problem is he packs his lunch and needs things he can just grab and eat while he is working. He also snacks all day so he packs a lot of stuff. Usually he packs two... -
ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do

I feel a lot better to hear from someone having the same issues. It makes sense with my thyroid too because I have had to raise my thyroid medicine twice over the 4 1/2 years that I have had issues with it. If my other doctor won't run tests on me I'm just going gluten free. Thanks so much everyone I know you guys will provide the support I need to go... -

Thanks everybody for the great advice. I'm going to go back to my old doctor and see if he will help me. If that doesn't work then I'm just going to try the diet and see if I feel better. I don't want to cut out gluten yet though just in case he will run the tests. I really think it is a problem though. I had been eating gluten at every meal for the... -
ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do
Swthrtpookie posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know what to do. I just went to the doctor today because I have been miserable. I have been getting diarrhea at least once a day. I used to have problems with constipation. I'll get crampy first and then I have to go to the bathroom. I've also been gassy and bloated. I all of a sudden have eczema. I'm going to school right now and I am having...
