  1. my doc did some bloodwork and it came back that i had a gluten intolerance. for 1 month i took gluten out of my diet and i felt great. i dont know if its psychological but i felt not bloated and my skin looked great (acne cleared up). for a week now, my GI doc has suggested that i go back on gluten b/c he is going to do an endoscopy and some additional...
  2. stopped eating gluten for a month and my skin cleared up so amazingly! like i was constantly having acne on my chin and then within the month, little by little my skin got better. now that my doc is making me eat it for my endo, i am all broken out again. think theres a correlation? anyone ever heard of gluten affecting acne?

  4. wow - i told him that i had itchy hives after eating some bread once and he didn't say anything. he said that since this is 'sudden,' like i have never had issues with the hives or not that it could be allergies. my whole life i had issues with going to the bathroom. i only go about once a week if i am lucky. that is why i went to the doctor in the...
  5. went to the GI doc yesterday and he has me scheduled for an endoscopy for 3 weeks from now. he told me to get back on gluten to see if when they do the endo if they will be able to tell what my stomach/intestine look like. as a result of adding this back into my diet i have ITCHY hives everywhere on my calves. could this be DH? i have never had these...
  6. i havent been eating gluten for about 1 month now. my stomach as of now, about 8 hours after eating lunch, feels ok. i just feel bloated but my legs are all broken out with itchy red bumps! do you think thats an indicator that i have celiac?
  7. went to the gastroentenologist today and they scheduled me for a endoscopy. they told me to eat gluten for the next 3 weeks to make sure that my colon/bowel (if i have celiac disease) will be inflamed. so i went and ate mozzarella sticks, onion rings and french fries, lol. i just HAD to. my tummy has been rumbling, and i have been a bit gasy. i also...

  13. do they do a simple blood test or do they do a colonoscopy? i am going to the doc next week and would like to know how they are going to 'test' me for celiacs.
  14. how long after eating something with gluten would i get sick to see if its the food?
  15. ok so my appointment next week i think is just a 'meeting.' i've been pretty good and somewhat (i think) on the diet for about 3 weeks now. how long should i start eating before the testing done? also if i have a gluten tolerance, would that mean that i have celiac's disease? also can you explain what celiacs can do long term if left untreated?
