Hi jb1119, I'm new here too and working on getting to the bottom of (mild) symptoms. But I'm curious to know more about your upper left abdominal pain. I have something like that, too. It first started when I was in my early 20's. I went to the doctor, who looked at me funny and eventually diagnosed me with IBS and gave me a prescription (which I didn't...

I totally understand what you're saying - I'm sure that mentioning that idea sounded kind of dumb! I've never had a migraine but I'd hate to start now. . . . What would you say about my gluten free trial? Does it suggest anything to you?

Thank you Nora for the information about adrenal weakness. I've been doing a little research and I see what you mean about some traditional drs not taking it seriously. And yet . . . still the symptoms exist. Mine do seem to match up. I've made an appointment with my GP to go over these issues. I told them I want to get the RAST food allergy testing, which...

Thanks Susan for this information. I actually do have low blood pressure,but it's always been low. And I have fainted occasionally. And I love salt, though I suppose gradually I've been adding more and more. Of course, a lot of these symptoms could be coincidental. I definitely have vitiligo, not darkening. Also, I have definitely not been losing weight....

Good morning and thanks to those of you trying to help me figure this out. I've been away, just having a chance to look through some of these answers. In terms of the onset of more noticeable symptoms, my low thyroid was diagnosed before i had children, but the rest of the symptoms have all increased or changed since the birth of the 2nd. (They're 2 1...

Hello again. First, let me apologize if I am not following proper forum etiquette! I had included my test results on my original post, hoping for some interpretation. But I didn't get any feedback, so I thought I'd just try once more. The results seem to indicate that I don't have celiac. And as I mentioned before, I almost feel guilty asking questions...

Well, I have gotten a copy of my test results and this is what it says: IGA, Serum 228 mg/dL Gliadin AB (IGA) 3 U/mL Tissue Transglutaminase AB IGA <3 U/mL Have I gotten the tests I need to consider myself negative? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any and all replies, and for the welcome! I have just called and asked for a copy of my blood test results. The test requested was called Celiac Disease Comprehensive. I have no idea, though, what to look for when I'm reading over them! Any info would be appreciated. I did read an article on this site about the genetic testing (DQ 2 and 8, etc...

Well, I have been visiting this site recently because my doctor recently had me get a celiac disease blood test, which came back negative. The long and short of it - I'd had a colonoscopy in my early 30s, because of some pain that couldn't be figured out. No polyps or other issues at that time, the pain was probably skeletal/muscular (which I believe was...
