ARCHIVED Test To Run To Check For Celiacs?
dfurlong replied to dfurlong's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We did do the blood work on my 14 year old, and of course everything showed negative. I don't have a copy of the lab work, but was told a celiac panel was run. Meanwhile my daughter did go on a gluten free diet for 2 weeks. She had a headache after the first meal, but the headache went away (Friday night). Then by later Saturday afternoon, she had a mild... -
I think your health and that of your kids is most important. While Thanksgiving is a time for family to come together, I think your immediate family is where the focus needs to be. You live with your husband and daughters, not with the in-laws. There were alot of different suggestions for eating before, only going for dessert (which you will bring for...

ARCHIVED Symptoms Caused By Gluten Intolerance/celiac?
dfurlong replied to dfurlong's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Ravenwoodglass, Thank you for your response. I have talked with my daughter already about trying a gluten free diet. She was resisitant the first time we spoke about it, but recently she has been asking me, "Does this contain wheat, does that contain wheat?" So I know she is thinking about it. However, I would like to have some labs done first before... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Caused By Gluten Intolerance/celiac?
dfurlong posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am wondering if gluten intolerance or celiac can cause severe headaches/fatigue/nauseousness/dizziness? My 14 year old daughter has had these symptoms for the better part of a year. It started with fatigue, then came the headaches/dizziness and nauseousness which were brought on seemingly by physical activity. Activity makes it worse (at least at first...
