I have been gluten free for over a week and my doctor suggested SIBO in addition to a food allergy. I haven't been feeling better even after cutting out gluten, dairy, soy and corn. I know I could be sick due to cc but I am wondering now if it could be a parasite. My doctor was going to put me on an antibiotic but he said it would be expensive. Do you...

I actually put the waffle into the oven for a few minutes because I haven't been able to buy a new toaster yet. I think that maybe it is the soy that made me have the problem. I am going to have only the basics for a few days until my allergy testing. I feel constipated and my stomach rumbles while I am sleeping. Sometimes I run to the bathroom and...

I had a colonoscopy when I first got sick to diagnose me and they used a phospho-soda laxative to cleanse me out. This was before I suspected celiac, and after the colonoscopy I felt much better for about a week before I noticed more symptoms. Now I am constipated nightly and I cannot sleep because I wake up even couple hours feeling like I need to have...

Thanks. The hard part is I get tricked into thinking I feel a lot better and then, boom, I feel bad again and get discouraged. I had some applesauce for breakfast. Up until today I didn't have bacon or anything like that, so maybe that was just too much too fast.

I originally just thought I had a stomach flu and went to the hospital because I was dehydrated and have no appetite. They gave me some pain medicine (I was also having severe lower abdominal pain) so I would quit complaining. I then ended up back because I woke up on saturday night and I couldn't take the pain anymore. Once at the hospital I was checked...

I have been off gluten for a week but this morning I woke up with more severe abdominal pain and an inability to go to the restroom. My major symptom lately has been that I wake up at night every couple hours and feel my stomach rumbling. Then I have to run to the bathroom. I hate to be gross but since I started getting really sick a couple months ago...

My doctor called with my test results. He said I have no celiac antibodies but my biopsy did show the beginnings of villi damage. He said I was probably lactose intolerant and to try removing dairy from my diet. I am already gluten free for 4 days and I have felt better and worse depending upon which day it was, but I was still eating dairy. I am planning...

So I am waiting on biopsy results and bloodwork, but I am fairly sure now that I need to be gluten free. I realize now that many of the health problems I have had (fatigue, nausea, splotchy skin, etc.) have probably been caused by my intolerence all along. I started eating gluten free the day after my doctors appointment but now I am reading more and more...

I am getting better each hour. I just found out about a support group here for celiacs, and I feel like that could be very helpful. I am also sure that with time I can learn new recipes and make this into a fun adventure, it is just hard because people don't understand. They say things like "so you just need to become a vegetarian." I just think, ha,...

I have had problems for as long as I can remember with vitamins and feeling weak but I always just thought that I didn't have a great diet. About a month ago I went into the hospital with severe abdominal pain. They assumed gallbladder or something of the sort but every test showed nothing wrong. I had an upper GI, endoscopy, colonoscopy and much more...
