    An endocrinologist diagnosed my Celiacs, my presenting symptoms were hypoglycemia and seizure disorder. He put me on a "grain free/sugar free" diet. If your intestines have been heavily damaged by Celiacs it will take a long time to recover fully (if ever). Perhaps you have leaky gut going on and candidiasis - which will make you feel terrible! Might be a...

    The best worst I've ever had a doctor say to me was from a Neurologist. "Could be a brain tumor, could be a panic attack, won't know til the 2nd MRI" and then walks out of the room. I paid $300 bucks for that (by the way, that's all he said to me) - turned out to be a lesion.

    I've had many of those symptoms to - in fact I was told I was nuts for years and years before finding out I had Celiacs disease. Sounds like Celiacs and some hypoglycemia going on also. Regarding the memory issues, many of us have sever nutritional deficiencies. My Neuro put me on L-Methyl Folate for the brain fog. Good luck. Most of it will resolve with...

    Welcome to what my kid calls the "it sucks to be you" diet. ; ) LOL I eat a lot of beans, found a great health food store that has powdered hummus mix I practically live on, then there's a wonderful Gluten-free all purpose baking mix from Bob's Red Mill (make sure it's the one with Garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, white sorghum flour...

    I was tested for Meiniere's by an ENT, but (and I almost say this sadly) I didn't have it, almost wish I did. He told me that my dizziness and Ataxia were neurological and it wasn't my ears. I see an Neurologist. Ataxia, dizziness, and neurological problems are pretty common for us. I also have epilepsy. Good luck.

    It was actually an Endocrinologist that diagnosed my Celiacs Disease. I had been referred to him by my GP because of my hypoglycemia. Luckily for me he is a Mayo Clinic Doctor and very good. He placed me on a completely sugar free, grain free diet (that means NO rice, bran, barley, wheat, rye, oats, etc.), and told me to eat mostly leafy green vegetables...

    I have had all of them thrown at me at one time or another - they told me I was Bipolar for over 23 years.Came to find out I had Celiacs the roundabout way (quite a story really). I went to a wonderful Mayo clinic endocrinologist that diagnosed my Celiacs, I have horrible hypoglycemia and secondary adrenal failure. I never had much gut problem in the way...

    I ended up at the ER a couple of months ago because I was so dizzy and they gave me Meclizine (same as Dramamine). Works wonderfully. Seems like I get it around July every year - so maybe allergy or I get gluttened (I go to a lot of family BBQ's and such, and everyone always swears up and down no gluten but they just don't know the whole deal). Anyway...

    Hi Fitbunni, I was diagnosed Bipolar when I was 21 and went through years and years of a litany of medications, counseling and so on with no real relief. Fast forward to age 42 - I began to notice a real correlation between my wicked mood swings and those yummy chocolate donuts with the great icing I loved to eat with everybody at work. I bought a glucose...

    Apparently not, my doctor put me on an entirely grain free, sugar free diet. Only protein, mono and diglycerides. I was diagnosed with Celiacs by an Endocrinologist. I had known for a long time that I had a problem with Gluten and had been on a gluten free diet (using rice, quinoa, millet, aramanth in my diet as substitutes). Yet I was still having an...
