    You are not alone. I get these night sweats year round. I find that they are less severe since I have been gluten free (8 months). I am a woman so it could be a menopausal thing. I am being tested tomorrow for Hypothyroidism so it could be that also. But maybe it is just another celiac symptom. My son had it worse than me and it is a lot less frequent...

    Hi mamabear, I am living proof that you can get Shingles (Herpes Zoster) multiple times. I just came back from the doctor with my prescription for the "5th" bout of shingles in 16 years. I seem to get it in pairs. The first 2 times were about a year apart & the second 2 were 4 months apart. It has been about 2 years since my 4th episode. I...

    It has been a year since my 35 year old son was positively diagnosed with celiac disease - blood test, biopsy & DH was positive. I unfortunately had negative tests. I have been gluten-free for 7 months & feel great except for fatique & the occassional episode of accidental glutening. In my opinion, I have had celiac disease most of my life...

    Hi, When I saw this topic I couldn't help but put in my 2 cents worth. I, like most of you, thought beatuy products with gluten could not possibly effect us. I am not eating it - it won't bother me. Famous last words. Before I went gluten-free 6 months ago, I was using a natural hair conditioner with "wheat protein". I stopped using it but about...

    I was prescribed Hydroval cream 3 days ago for a rash. It is a hydrocortisone cream. In the first 24 hours I started having nausea. Since then I have also had stomach problems, insomnia, gas, more frequent bowel movements, and even sore lower back.... but the nausea is the worst. I have been gluten free for 6 months and all my symptoms (except for...

    Hi 'gfjayhawk' Finally, I have something to report. I received the results of my biopsy on April 15. It was Negative unfortunately . Only 3 specimens were taken of the jejunum (I was hoping for more). Here is what the report said - "Small intestional mucosa with mild lymphocytic infiltration. No pathological changes of celiac disease is identified...

    Hi gfjayhawk, I am so glad your biopsy came back positive. I was waiting to hear your results. So many people say that 2 weeks is not enough time to eat gluten after being gluten free. My doctor said I had to go 3 months and I was gluten-free for 3.5 months. I am so sure that I had celiac disease all my life - I don't think that my intestines would...

    I am being tested for celiac disease because my son was diagnosed 4 months ago with celiac disease & DH. I have so many celiac disease symptoms that I am positive that I am celiac. I have a problem that I am wondering if it is celiac disease related. I will try to explain. I am a typist and for the last year or so I miss letters when I am typing...

    You read my mind. I have been wondering the same thing - in fact I have been searching on this site for any posts about Shingles and was going to start a post asking the same question. I have had shingles 4 times. I had them twice within a year about 14 years ago & then again twice in the same year about 2 years ago. Thankfully they were on...

    I agree - I have been eating gluten for 9 days now. I go to my GP on Monday for my monthly B12 injection so I figured I would eat gluten until then to see if he will send me for a complete celiac disease panel. I don't know exactly what he sent me for so I am going to ask for a copy of the report. I haven't seen him since my second test for the liver came...

    Hi, I am new here so I hope I am doing this correctly. I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I am "in the same boat" as you. My son was diagnosed unexpectly in October 2007. He was told he definitely has celiac disease because he also has DH (which we thought was exzema). We had never heard of celiac disease or DH before. My son suggested...
