    I am glad you got an answer I know I cannot give up on figuring things out - for my little ones benefit. Sooner or later, something will pan out. It is just getting to that day! If it is just "IBS", I pity anyone who has to live with this on a daily basis It's truly a disease that they will not/can not treat, yet affects your life to an extreme extent on...

    I had a scope done in 2006. At the time when my tummy upset symptoms all started. About 6 mos. After my son was born - everything went downhill for me. I had diarrhea that lasted for about 6 weeks. Lost 10 lbs - went down to 92 lbs...etc. That is when they did a scope. By the time they did it I was only really consuming the meal replacement drinks and occasionally...

    Hello All! I feel like I am forever going through this cycle of "could it be a gluten intolerance", or not. I have had bloodwork done a few different times, but have never really gotten a positive reading. The closest my numbers came to being positive was having a TTG Iga of 16 when it said that weak positive/reference range was 20-30. My total IGA at...

    Well I don't really have a question - just a request for prayers. Please keep me in your thoughts tomorrow as I go for the Gastro appointment I have been waiting for three months now. I am praying this doctor can diagnose me - and hopefully give me a plan of action for the constant daily pain. If I do not get positive results this time...I really do not know...

    I envy that you were able to eat Cayenne Pepper (As I sit here eating my cream of rice with a little butter and salt). That surely would have landed me in the hospital with severe pains. Was the halibut made at home or in a restaurant? Was it cooked properly? Did it have some sort of butter baste on it and you are lastose intolerant? Those are a few things...

    I agree with someone else here - if you are very concerned about sandwiches in particular - then use Udi's bread. If you cannot find Udi's bread - look to their website online...they ship direct to you. If you have a local store your store can become a supplier. I live in a very small town, and have one health food store available to me. I persisted with...

    Unfortunately you cannot gall a GI doc until you are an established patient. Until 5/18 I do not have a GI doc technically - so he would not be able to advise me on the gluten challenge. I am sure once he sees me as a patient for the first time he will advise me as to what I should try. I truly feel like my stomach has stopped digesting. I have had so much...

    Morning is the worst for me. I do not know if it ties into what you are dealing with at all - but I absolutely dread mornings and how my tummy will react. It definitely gets better throughout the day but I feel nauseus and and dizzy before and sometimes after I eat in the AM as well.

    I tried to do a "multi-quote" but couldn't figure it out. Sorry - I was trying to respond to all of the helpful responses I got. The description that was given about the digestive system was very helpful in understanding how people could have an immediate reaction. Thanks! Ravenwood I can and have gone to urgent care too many times to count. They always...

    Ty Skygirl! I did call the gastro today but they cannot guide me as to what to do now since it will be my first appointment with them on 5/18.Technically they cannot advise until 5/18 I only knew to go back on gluten from these posts. This site has been very helpful. I will keep it up as long as I can but it seems like as the days progress my symptoms...

    Thanks for your input Allison. Your timeline is correct. I have been eating gluten for 3 weeks now - and appointment is on 5/18. Prior to that was gluten-free for at least 5-6 months...maybe even back to October/Novemberish of last year so it could be closer to 7 months gluten-free. Thanks again for your explanation!

    I definitely believe this is a possibility. I was always the smallest child at school, always went to the bathroom maybe 5 or more times a day and certainly every time I ate, was always catching every illness (mono at 15, hypoglycemia and severe allergies diagnosed at 17) - but it all seemed to go away for the most part until a few months after my son was...

    Minimum of 3 months?? Are you serious? I thought a good 6 - 8 weeks of daily consumption would be enough to test. This is so frustrating! I am thinking I will go gluten-free again to get out of pain/fog - and just have to see what else the doc can offer me as far as diagnosis. Why is it that people have symptoms instantly ( I see posts on here ) if...

    I have a Gastro appointment 5/18 with a local gastro that I have been waiting to see for 3 months. My hopes are that he can do Celiac testing and get me a firm diagnosis so I know what is going on with my tummy. I was gluten-free for about 5/6 months up until 3 weeks ago when I went back on gluten awaiting this appointment. I knew they couldn't test...
