Yes, yes, yes it is very normal to get like that. Before I found out I had a gluten-intolerance (not officially diagnosed Celiac...) I just thought that I would get extremely lethargic and have brain fog only after heavy meals. But, then it was happening almost everyday and now I know it's because even though I was eating very light meals, I was making...

Hello all! Ok, so I got what my Dr. called the "Celiac Panel" run a couple weeks ago on my blood. I had been trying to eat more gluten for a week before the test (but don't think I ate enough) and the week before that was almost completely gluten-free and before that I was eating whatever I wanted. Ok, so here are my results, please provide any insight...

I did the same thing when I had my blood tests just last week. I was really nervous that my GP was going to be an a-hole about it b/c he can sometimes be like that...depending on his mood. haha. Anyway, I just decided that it was important enough to me and so I kind of bent the truth and said my grandma was recently diagnosed. It was almost true, except...

TrillumHunter: I too was told by a dr. that "it could be Multiple Sclerosis." That was really great. Didn't freak me out at all! geeez. I too have thought more recently that it could be MS, but then I started learning more about Celiac and thought, OMG, that sounds more like what I have. And really, I hope so, cause MS? Um, yeah, MUCH scarier...

Thank you all so much for your stories. They have really made me feel better...even if you aren't happy, I appreciate your honesty. That is real and this is real and I'm just trying to prepare myself. I'm kind of wondering how I am going to feel if my tests come back negative. I have read on this forum that false negatives are common. I really...

Hi there! I had the Celiac Panel blood tests run 2 days ago, but have not gotten results back. I know it may take a while... Anyway, I'm feeling really nervous about it. Half of me hopes they are positive so I can have a definitive diagnosis and finally be able to make sense of all the symptoms over the years. But, half of me worries that I may feel...

I can relate - and this is just an added symptom to make me believe I have Celiac. I have not yet been diagnosed, but having blood tests Wedesday. About 3 years ago, I went to the dentist because I was having alot of tooth pain and I thought I may have cavities. I don't eat alot of sugar either, and never have. Anyway, at this point, I was about 20...

Wow Jessica! I haver read a couple of your other posts and know you were waiting. Congrats on getting clear results...And I know how you feel. I haven't even had my blood tests yet, but part of me wants them to be positive so that I can put a name to all of the symptoms and suffering. Good luck with going completely gluten-free! Just think about...

Howdy! I looked this topic up specifically because I have lost weight on the diet. I lost about 3 lbs in a week of being gluten-free. I do want/need to lose weight, so I feel like it is a benefit and if even makes me more convinced that I have an issue with gluten. I have ALWAYS had a really weird appetite. Ever since I was a kid, I have had some days...

Beth, I too have had the sensation of bugs all over me, but didn't put it together until I read these posts. I've had alot of neuropathy symptoms...I even went to the dr about 3 years ago complaining of the tingling in my arm and leg down to my foot. It sometimes just felt like tingling and sometimes felt like pins and needles. At the dr. they did blood...

I DEFINITELY have the same issue. My hair seems to fall out ALOT, but I have alot of hair so it still doesn't look thin. However, my hair has definitely changed over the years. My hair stylist said she noticed a change in my hair over the past 4 years. She says it seems like it's thinner and the texture is not as smooth. I know I've always had tons of...

Oh and forgot to add the strange things I've noticed over the past week, almost completely gluten-free. Bad/Weird ~ I have had very twitchy eyebrows - from what I've heard it's lack of potassium (so i'm eating bananas) ~ This very obvious spasm on my left side - like maybe my large intestine? It lasts for about 5-10 seconds and I've only noticed...

LOL!!!!!! I called and left a message with the dr's office today. Hopefully I can have the tests soon.

Hey all... Sam - Just want you to know that I have the same problem with my mother that you have with your family. Actually, it
