I think its safe to say that gluten has been my problem this entire time, as I have been tested for pretty much everything but gluten intolerance. Every doctor i've seen has basically said that I was perfectly healthy (which I knew I was not ). I guess I just wasn't seeing much of a difference in the past because I was still eating sugary foods and night...

Thank you for the encouraging response. It's my 4th day and i'm just feeling better and better still. I did slip up lastnight and ate some gluten free cookies (dedicated facility) which had milk in it and suffered some gas. But other than that, I feel fine. I just won't do that again for a while lol.

3 days in to my diet consisting of no gluten, corn, night shades, fructose and dairy and i feel pretty much back to normal. Last time I did this, I was eating fructose, maybe thats what was hindering me. But I still can't help but wonder if I should press harder and try to get a biopsy/blood test to confirm that I indeed have Celiac disease, just so I can...

Thank you so much for your advice. Yes, I would like to get a diagnosis but it's not really something I can see happening anytime soon. So I started the gluten free diet yesterday and am seeing some improvement. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore and my joints don't hurt so much anymore. My skin is still a little irritated but I take it that's going to be the...

Thank you lol. Yes, I did find that I can drink a little cow's milk and have a little cheese if it is melted with 0 reaction. However, I also discovered that eating yogurt and non-heated cheese makes me sicker than a dog. Yeah, I looked in to one called Entrolab or something like that but that's just beyond my budget. So I think i'm gonna just go gluten...

As mentioned above, I can't afford to get a biopsy so i'm kind of in a loop here. Should I continue eating gluten and hope that sometime in the future I can get a dx? I would really like to get a dx as soon as possible, but in the state I am in right now, that doesn't seem possible.

Thanks for the quick responses you two. I'm desperate for any help. I forgot to mention that at one point, I was eating pretty much chicken, beef broccoli and rice for several months. I reacted to everything you mentioned (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, soy, corn, legumes, raisins, sweets etc.) pretty much everything I ate made me feel awful. I recall...

I am a 22 y/o female who has been dealing with a number of digestive/gastro issues for the past 2 1/2 years. My symptoms are occasional loose stools (once every 2-3 months?), occasional constipation, occasional itching on shoulders and back (like once a month before menstrual cycle), abdominal gas and bloating at least once a month. I've had blood tests,...
