Hey guys, Sorry for taking so long to reply. Okay so I've done some more experimenting.... I tried gluten again and that was definately a bad idea!!! All my symptoms came rushing back around one hour after eating it. Anyway I went to the doctor today for a lactose intolerance test (I need to go back with a stool sample ), but what I am wondering is...

I had a blood test and biopsy for celiac disease and both came back negative. Anyway, I tried the gluten free diet and felt so much better 2 days into it. I didn't feel 100% better though. I drank a large glass of milk and think I may also be lactose intolerant as I suffered breathlessness, dizziness, cramps and diarrhea after drinking it. Today the doctor...

Thanks for your replies I have been tested a couple of times for diabetes but tests came back negative. I am actually really confused right now, when I first realised it may be a food intolerance, I immediately gave up lactose. On the lactose free diet I felt great for the first few days but had diarrhea on the fourth day and the fifth (I am...

Hi, Thanks for your reply Yeah I am sure my other symptoms will get better with time. I am just a bit worried in case I have a UTI infection or something, or if frequent urination is just a symptom of gluten intolerance that will adventually go away. Maybe I should go to the docs to check for UTI to be on the safe side. Thanks again for your...

Hi, I don't know if any of you will remember my previous posts but I have been suffering with a lot of symptoms for the last good few years - typical celiac symptoms. I had a blood test and endoscopy for celiac and both tests were negative, so my guess was that I am gluten intolerant. I went gluten free on tuesday just past and I feel a lot better already...

Hi there I have not being diagnosed with celiac but I am currently getting tested. I have had a big swollen gland just under my right jawline for around 4 years. I was told mine would go away but its still there. I should get my biopsy results in 2weeks.

Ok, thanks for your reply jkr

Hi again Just thought I would let you know that my biopsy wen really well yesterday. I have still got a sore throat though. My results are going to take 3 weeks which sucks! I just want to know..... Once my biopsy was done, the doctors couldn't tell me anything about what they seen, they said that they can't tell until the results come through. Is it...

Thanks for all your replies guys! I get my biopsy tomorrow morning so I will let you know how it goes. I'm a bit worried in case they find nothing....

Hi Lisa_123 Celiac doesn't run in my family, but there are a few people in my family who have 'IBS' and they have just accepted that as a diagnosis. Who knows maybe they are actually celiac? I was told I have IBS but I don't think it is that as I have too many symptoms. My symptoms (that I can think of at the moment) are: Headaches, diarrhea or loose...

Hi lisa_123 I also had a negative blood test for Celiac (although the doctor only did one part of the test so it wasn't even the full test!) I have not had my biopsy yet - I get this done on Friday and I can't wait to get it done and receive my results. How long are your results going to take? Hospital results take forever in the UK so I won't be surprised...

I have not been diagnosed with Celiac but am currently getting tested for it. My B12 was at 86 around a year ago so I went on B12 vitamins for around 6months. When I went back to get my levels tested again it was up to 370. I have no idea what level I am at now though but even when it went up to 370 I still felt so tired.

Thanks for your replies guys. I'm just wondering if Celiac Disease would be ruled out of the list of possiblities for me as I managed to absorb iron tablets a few of years back? (when my symptoms starting gradually getting worse) Thanks

Hi This may seem like a silly question, but can someone with celiac disease absorb iron in tablet form? The reason I am asking is that I have loads of symptoms which would point to celiac, but I remember that a few years ago when my iron was at its lowest point, I was able to get my iron level back up again with a couple of month supply of iron tablets...

I also get this pain in my left hand side. I have it most of the time. Its mainly under the rib but comes right down to my hip and round my lower back a bit. I have not been diagnosed with celiac, but I am getting a biopsy done on Friday. I can't wait to get my results to be honest......... would be good if I could put a name to my pain, and also know how...
