    Sure, basically I've had severe acne since 15 that just won't go away, no matter what combination of products or pills I use. I've seen a dermatologist but no luck with anything that was prescribed. It did improve slightly once I got on Proactiv and switched to vegetarian 5 years ago (maybe from eating less gluten in general?), but my acne never completely...

    Here are mine (1 week gluten-free): 1. Severe headaches 2. Lower left abdominal discomfort/pain 3. Acne, hopefully will clear up soon, it's bad 4. Canker sores 5. Very tired 6. Very hungry for first 2 days On the plus side, within a day or two my loose stools/undigested food in stools went away completely, and I've had periods where I felt amazing...

    For those of you who had unexplained and untreatable acne before diagnosis, how long did it take once going off gluten to see noticeable improvement? I've been gluten-free for about a week and I'm seeing some improvement, but I'm really curious how long it typically takes to finally have clear skin (if Celiac is the root cause). Thanks in advance!

    Sure, I've considered that, but I didn't consider it at the time. I didn't even think about gluten until my wife brought it up jokingly.

    Anxiety is definitely a symptom: Open Original Shared Link If you feel much better, I think that's a good indicator that you have an issue with gluten. Just a thought, but maybe you could try ingesting a small amount of gluten and see if the symptoms return. You could also be allergic to shellfish or dairy though, as the other poster mentioned. I've been...

    I get really bad brain fog/fatigue, and I'm almost positive I have Celiac as well. I've been off gluten for nearly a week and yesterday I got exposed accidently and I couldn't concentrate on anything and just wanted to leave where I was at because I felt so drained (as well as strong stomach pains). I've also been doing a ton of research and it seems that...

    Thanks, that's a great idea. It seemed that my flare up only happened for 2-3 hours with that minor amount, so I'm hoping that it's the extent of it once I'm all healed. Boy do I get cranky though, and a bad stomach ache! It must be rough dealing with a delayed reaction, especially when I keep reading about transfer of residues from handles, knobs, etc onto...

    wendyloo, what food did you stop eating that made your symptoms disappear? I have terrible acne that won't go away (I'm 25 years old), and I actually have a canker sore right now!

    Update: My wife and I went on a date today to go bowling and I was feeling fantastic, really happy and enthusiastic, which is unusual for me. After two games, I kissed my wife, and noticed she had put on lip gloss. After about 5 minutes, I got stomach pains, which in the past I've always associated with being hungry. They are very intense and urgent, so I...

    I'm not sure yet, I want to see what the doctor says. I want to avoid the biopsy if I'm sure at that point that this is it (based on symptoms improving) or if the doc says it is. My wife wants to get the blood test as she was diagnosed with IBS, just to make sure she doesn't have it too (her mom was also diagnosed with IBS). She is still eating gluten...

    I have an appointment set with a Gastroenterologist in two weeks. I am going to continue a gluten-free diet, as I cannot justify further poisoning my body - if my symptoms improve that will be proof enough for me. I would like to get all of my vitamin and hormone levels checked though, and see what the doc says about testing for celiac. I talked to my...

    By the way, we researched achey joints and redness last night and it was most likely a reaction to the B12 in the vitamin I took (liqui-vite)! Does anyone else have that experience when taking B12?

    Thank you for the advice. My wife is going to make a doctor appointment for me today, but we're not sure which type of doctor to see. We have a really great insurance plan that lets us see any type of doctor without needing a referral. Should I go directly to a gastroenterologist or something, or just see a regular general practitioner? I'd appreciate...

    A few days ago I got really fed up. I have and have had severe acne since I was 16, I've been chronically underweight at 125lbs at 5'11". I've tried everything, from intense workouts, to eating 4 sandwiches in a meal (every meal was that size for months). I convinced myself that I just had bad skin, a high metabolism, that I must be normal. I went vegetarian...
