Thank you for your comments. Its a frustrating thing. I went on the gluten free diet to see if it would help me and it did, but now I won't be able to attain a diagnosis unless I go back on it. I think that not knowing is the most frustrating thing for me.

I really just want to know what I'm up against.

Hello,

My journey started two years ago. I can pin point the day. I awoke in the middle of the night nauseous and thinking I was going to die. I felt horrible and it lasted for two weeks until I went to the Dr. and was placed on protein pump inhibitors due to excess stomach acid. I was diagnosed with reflux and sent home. It took about two months until the meds stopped working and I began to feel nauseous again, this time I also had heartburn, a great side effect of the meds I was placed on.

After countless months of feeling horrible I decided to visit a naturopathic Dr. for help. I was placed on a Gluten free diet and watched as my symptoms melted away. It was unreal. I also noticed that elements of my life that I didn't realize were attributed to the gluten began to improve. All my reoccurring canker sores went away, my energy came back, I lost 20 lbs, I could think clearly, my heart palps went away and my reoccurring painful bladder condition never reoccurred again. It was life changing. I have never been diagnosed with anything but my life has been transformed. Would you consider my symptoms Celiac or something else? I'm thinking of attempting to gain a diagnosis. Either way, I'm gluten free for life but I have children and I don't want them to live with the symptoms that I just assumed were part of being me.
