    So I had the blood tests run, except they didn't do the tTG, which I keep seeing is the most accurate. The day after the bloodwork I went gluten-free and have been doing much better. I do know that last week I accidentally got some gluten and didn't realize it at a restaurant (until after I had eaten it - it was hidden sauce in something). About 15 minutes...

    Guhlia - I'm just reading through some past posts and had a question for you based on your comments. I have some posts out there about my problems. In short...I used to have awful problems, now they're less severe but still present. For example, while I've only had D once this week, last night i was so bloated I looked 4 months pregnant and gained...

    Hi and thank you for the comments! I like how you say that the symptoms are pointing to a problem. I honestly am driving myself absolutely nuts with this. A few months ago I was not ever well. I would be in the bathroom with such horrible D that I was shaking and sweating and almost passing out. I also had horrible gas and just felt awful all the time...

    Hello there! I've finally decided to get a new doctor who I'm going to see next week. She's an internist but is the highly recommended doctor of a friend who has both type 2 diabetes and celiac and seems to know a lot about it. I'm gathering all of my notes on the stomach issues I've had for years and I just have a quick question for anyone. For those...

    Noglugirl - Thank you soooo much for this!!! It is immensely helpful! Thanks to all that have responded to my post. I feel much better and feel like I can make better decisions around all of this. I also have a posting out there about my daughter. Not only am I concerned about myself but i'm concerned about her. She's always had GI issues. Most...

    Thank you for the advice! I have a quick question about Enterolab. I've heard a lot of controversy out there about that. I've also hear that about 99% of doctors don't consider those results accurate. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

    Hello there! I have several postings myself out there about my own suspected celiac/gluten intolerance. I'm also curious about my 4 year old daughter. She's struggled from the day she came into this world with massive reflux as an infant and continuous constipation. She STILL has constipation. Recently she was complaining multiple times a day that her...

    Thank you so much for the information and advice! I really think I'm going crazy or maybe I'm a hypochondriac. Reason I say that is that my symptoms have actually been better for the past couple of weeks. It's been YEARS since I have had stomach problems this minimal. So now I'm wondering if maybe whatever it was it just gone. Maybe it was IBS? I...

    Does anyone ever feel discomfort after eating higher up in your stomach...more like a heartburn, reflux-type reaction but not classic heartburn and reflux. I get that way about 30 min. to an hour after I eat with a little nausea. Kind of hard to describe. Didn't know if that was another typical gluten intolerance issue. Thanks!! FYI...I haven't been...

    Thanks for the advice! The only reason I'm on the Lexapro is as an off-label solution to severe IBS. I was not depressed before or noticed any mood problems except being upset, etc. about feeling so awful all the time (my stomach/digestive problems). So I don't anticipate any mood problems when I go off. I started out only on 5 mg and then went to ten...

    Another thing....if I decide to give it a shot and go gluten-free I'm thinking I should stop taking the anti-depressants so I know what is really helping. Anyone have an opinion about that? Thanks!!

    You're right - I should probably just try it and see what happens.

    I struggled for a long time with stomach problems, pain, cramps, nausea, gas, alternating C and D, feeling miserable. I was diagnosed with IBS (of course) and put on a low dose anti-depressant (Lexapro). After a few weeks it actually helped. But I still have (and this is kind of embarassing), really bad gas and still some lingering stomach issues. When...
