    I have to say OP, the fact that celiac is genetic and that you were diagnosed with IBS but your child is diagnosed with celiac disease is a huge red flag (you know ibs is often misdiagnosed celiac disease). While this does not guarantee that you have it too, I would bet my money on it. Even with IBS you should have been on a modified diet, though a med doc...

    Stop eating processed gluten-free foods, esp gluten-free grains and breads. Eat only whole foods like fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs and dairy if you can handle it. You're gut is damaged and ingesting hard to digest foods like grains and complex carbs doesn't give your system a chance to heal. You'll notice that the transition into a gluten-free...

    Oh no, these symptoms are likely from the diet change and are not a set of symptoms from the celiac disease. The constipation is probably from a combo of new intake of highly processed (and usually unhealthy) gluten-free foods and more intake of fibrous plant foods. The feeling of constant hunger is normal for people getting wheat and sugar out of their diet...

    I think PPs info is right---except Michelle RB. The tests for diagnosis are so unreliable at times and the symptoms of celiac disease can be so painful that I would never put my child through gluten trials when he could easily stay gluten-free. I can easily see when my child gets contaminated foods as he gets very gassy, diarrhea, and a belly ache with rash...

    I have no stats to offer you but I can tell you that my mother had 13 miscarriages before her first live birth while on gluten. My sister was infertile for 5 years before going gluten-free. My sister and I both have had wonderful pregnancies on gluten-free diet. You should be just fine now that you are not getting contaminated foods if you have given your...

    My sister and mother had major fertility problems before being gluten-free. Don't wait on the doctors, go gluten-free asap. My sister tried for 5 years to get preg and then only months after finally going gluten-free got pregnant. I wish she had waited longer to get herself healed a bit more but she has a healthy baby. She had severe endometriosis and ovarian...

    No, no, no......you have to read, and read, and read about this stuff to help yourself. Celiac disease manifests in non-specific ways. No two people have the same symptoms and alot of overweight people with supposedly normal BMs have celiac disease. The damage that is done occurs in the small intestine, the small intestine absorbs various nutrients in...

    I would personally recommend that a child with celiac disease, since its major danger is from malnutrition, not cook anything in a microwave. I know this is still controversial to some researchers but to me and many others microwaves not only zap all the nutrients out of food--so your malnutritioned child will be getting even less nutrients than she should...

    The California Baby is not the problem. She probably got contamination from something else. I have to say that I have been plagued by these leg pains for years and we always thought they were growing pains. Now everytime I eat something contaminated I get them almost immediately. I believe that night terrors are from dairy allergy or intolerance, which of...

    I am 25 years old and have only known about my celiac disease since I was about 21. I have always had bouts of passing out from hypoglycemia. During my pregnancy I started to develop gestational diabetes--which I quickly implemented a diabetic diet and exercise routine for. Every time I have been tested for diabetes my tests have come back normal. Now...
