    Just wanted to share a little story for those of you suffering but feel certain you have celiac but unable to get conclusive support. I had issues as a child, then again in my teens and again in my 20's which eventually led to my gall bladder being removed (I finally had an acute attack, had jaundice and they discovered it was full of stones despite being...

    Christi, I think a lot of celiacs or gluten-sensitive can associate with mood swings and migraines and mental fogginess but your father's symptoms do sound extreme. As others have said, it is a lot to deal with and the symptoms last months even after going gluten-free (time your body needs to heal) so partly it could just be a lot for him and a psychiatrist...

    Ruth, definetly get tests done before you go gluten-free, otherwise you risk the tests being negative. I had positive blood so went gluten free for 8 months and every symptom corrected itself by month 5. Then I saw a GI who insisted the biopsy was the only conclusive proof. I've been back on gluten and suffering for 3 months in prep for my endoscopy tomorrow...

    Hey Again Alexoula. I know a really strict elimination diet is no fun but like in your last comment, I couldn't tie my reaction directly after eating the food. In fact, even after the elimination diet I couldn't tell bread/gluten was the problem. I'm one of those 'undiagnosed celiacs' who have constipation (more than the diarrhea) and (awful to say),...

    Hello, I'm back on gluten to prep for a biopsy. About two months in (and during a stressful period), I developed some sort of rash. It came out on the back of neck up into my scalp, my front shoulders, tops of knees but mostly on my elbows and forearms. When the spots first come out, they are itchy like a mosquito bite and turn into a big pink welt....

    Alexhoula, Something that helped me and may help you. I saw a naturopath and orginally she thought I had a 'toxicity' problem. She suggested the 7 day brown rice diet. It's a good diet to not only completely detox and get the digestion running right again, but you add back in foods after the 7days 1 week at a time in the order they are most problematic...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Sores

    Stacie, I get a lot of cankers when on gluten as well. When I went gluten-free, some of the symptoms - abdominal pains, went away immediately but some took until the 5 month mark - cankers and mouth ulcers were one of them. I'm back on gluten for biopsy prep and that was the first thing to pop-up again when I started. good luck! jen

    I have a similar 'does this sound like dh' question. I'm on gluten to prep for a biopsy next month (was gluten-free for 8 months and all my symptoms cleared up, have positive blood so other than the biopsy, everything else points to celiac). I don't think I've ever had dh before but I do get both ecxzema and psoraisis. This week is very stressful for me...

    Thanks Gretchen! That's what I seem to get as well. It's a really bad week for me stress-wise and every little thing is causing more discomfort than usual for longer durations . Thanks for your info.

    Hi, Wondering if pre-gluten-free anyone noticed their reactions to a specific gluten food varied. I'm back on gluten for 3 months to prepare for the biopsy and have to ingest gluten twice a day. Some mornings I have a bagel and cr.cheese and it's only moderate pain (I'm lactose intolerant but take lactaid pills), sometimes (like right now) it's horrible...

    The Irish connection dispelled. Ireland is one of the more frequent countries to start ingesting wheat. They (and all the british isles) have only had it in their diets for 3000 years whereas other countries have had some form of gluten formerly in their diet for tens of thousands of years. It's the "irish inability to digest wheat" b/c we haven't eaten...

    Hi Stephanie I'd vote for 'get the diagnosis'. Several on the board have gotten relatively quick tests from enterolab and had the results accepted by their GI/GP, if your Dr won't confirm the diagnosis just with the blood test, ask if he/she would accept this. I don't have that option living in Canada. I had positive blood so went gluten-free only (I felt...

    Hi, I seem to have inconsistent abdominal discomfort after ingesting gluten. Sometimes a half a bagel is a bit of discomfort, sometimes I'm out for a few hours. At first I wondered if it was related to having other food to digest still in my system/how empty my stomach was..but now I'm wondering if it's worse when I'm stressed. anyone notice any patterns...

    If you're gluten-free and haven't yet gone to the new Wholefoods chain, do. By far the best selection of gluten-free in the city! labels on the shelves let you know what is purely gluten-free. They also specialize in organic and specialty foods. Very yummy. It's pricey, but worth it. Located in Hazelton Lanes in Yorkville. Open Original Shared Link

    Hi Yankee, I agree with celiac3270. I was really sick and had positive blood results for antibodies so I went gluten free. The symptoms started to go away immediately but it took 5 months before eveything was cleared up (normal bathroom habits, no migraines or nausea,no cankers, no acid reflux, no psoraisis, increasing iron and b12 level). I finally...

    Hi Nukapai, I assume today you're having your tests so this may be late but may offer some consolation if you are concerned about the results. I was gluten-free for 3 months before my blood tests and still showed positive anti-bodies. good luck!

    Hello, I've been suspected celiac since I was a baby and went gluten free and healed from vomitting and exczema. I had horrible pain and nausea episodes for 2 years when I was a teenager - it was suspected celiac but one GI ruled it out due to my height. A year ago, I had a stressful period and developed a migraine that lasted for 9 months. I had steatorrhea...

    Hi Everyone, I'm new to the board as a registered member but have been reading lots of posts and getting up to speed, it's wonderful to get a lot of info all in one place! For those of you in Canada or travelling to Canada, a microbrewery in Quebec has a gluten-free beer made from rice and buckwheat! it's called La Messagre Open Original Shared...
