  1. thank you for that info too!! will keep this in mind if he ends up in the ER again!
  2. yep, as soon as i suspected i had celiac i called him to tell him he’s way more likely to have it bc he’s my sibling + bc of t1d being autoimmune. he has been to the ER so many times bc of unexplained stomach pain, so fingers crossed gluten free continues to help him! thank you for the info about the vitamins, i will pass along the info!!
  3. neither of us have children or plan on it, so we’re good there!
  4. yes, i told my brother that, but he’s fine with never getting an official diagnosis he says! he doesn’t often take my advice LOL
  5. Hi, I'm back! I went to a new GI with all of my test results and an explanation of my story! She was very curious why my initial GI did not note about suspected Celiac disease in her endoscopy notes, and why my biopsies did not mention my villi or anything about Celiac disease. She requested my biopsies from the hospital where my endoscopy was completed to...

  7. thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks! i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me b...

  9. thank you Scott! This is very helpful. I have a message out to my doctor and i think this guide will help me interpret the results! its very thorough.
  10. thank you for your recommendation, this is exactly the kind of advice i am looking for. i don't know why she skipped the blood test, maybe she didn't suspect it either until she got in there and saw the damage? i am going to call the office and request the blood test you suggested. i will continue eating gluten (i only went gluten-free for one week total...
  11. hi all, i am new to this world, and have stumbled across this forum multiple times recently from google while researching Celiac Disease. my story: i am a 37 F. I've had gastro disturbances since i was a young child. mainly nocturnal diarrhea, keeping a list of "unsafe" foods, and random stomachaches that put me down for the count for an entire...
