yeah i figured it was part of the high risk group !!! it all makes since now .... i started doing research about it a little while back and have recenly well very recenty switched to a gluten free diet to early to tell if i am responding well or not... but i'm sure i will been gluten free for 2 days now

lol yeah i know what you mean !!! my mother refuses to belive i might actually have a gluten inolerance !!! i told her its much more then just being in my head that there has been a direct relation to our heritage and celiacs disease !!! she doesn't believe it but i sure do

thanks so much for the information

from my mom's side scottish ,french dads side nothing other then irish ... and i was wondering if my heritage plays a role in my tummy troubles that i have .... it would be wonderful if anyone knew any information about this!!

you sound like me this is somethign i have delt with for about 3 years now and it just seems that i know and am fairly confident that this is celiacs but to me it's like the negative results would make me feel horrible and well for anyone to belive the fact and not have a positive would make me feel horrible!! but i'm trying to keep my hopes up !!! and you...

i know how you feel about the self diagnoseing lol... i noticed a change in me when my mom went on a whole grain diet to loose weight !!! man that was fun my mom refuses to accept that i might have an intolerance to gluten now ever since i was younger i had horrible stomach cramps often among other intestinal problems!! but i dont have insurance to go to...

i want to say sorry for how hard my first entry is to read. i just read it and it ws hard to follow even for me ... i have decided as of now to go ahead with the gluten free diet and test the waters and see if i improve if i do then that is a big plus for me if i don't then i guess it will be time to go see my pcp to see what is going on!!! i'm really hoping...

i totally identify with you so much i have had issues since i was about 13!!! and they all played it off as just lactose intolerant which i know i do have but i stopped or tried to stay away from milk , cheese and i love them both but i do drink lactaid milk!!! but i do have problems with gluten i know that for sure i know it seems like your going around...

this is very intresting i haven't been finger printed since i was a child.... so i have no idea weather or not i would have any problems with it but it is rather intresting... i can look at my hands and see the lines going across my pattern of my fingers... i thought maybe i was jsut washing my hands to much but maybe not since they never go away i've never...

the testing is important to me ... but i wont have access to insurance till next year.... i may hold off on the gluten free diet... i don't want to though because even if i don't have celiacs or not i know i would rather feel normal again!!!! i will keep everyone informed as much as i can maybe i could try the diet for a while and then try to go back on gluten...

thank you for the reply.. i'm sorry my entry was so long...I think i will go on the gluten free diet and see how i react if i start to feel better then i guess i would be getting my answer like you say i dont need a Rx to go on a gluten free diet... i will definitly give it a try and then get officially tested next year i've been dealing with this for almost...
