I agree - it is going to be hard to tell. My daughter had to be dairy free for almost 2 years due to serve ulcers that would make her vomit uncontrollably. Once she started treatment, I asked that dr. if she gets sick how in the world am I to know if it from the uclers or the stomach flu or something she ate. He said, that I would just have to chart...

I am new to this also - welcome As for Traders Joe's, I was very disappointed. I went last week, picked up a few things that we labeled (at the store) gluten free, got the home, only to find out that they were made on shared equipment. Now, those food items are just sitting in my pantry, until I can get back to the store and return them. I had...

This is me. My blood work came back low positive for gluten intolerance / celiacs. My biopsy showed up negative. I was off of gluten for 1 week between the blood test coming back and the appt with the GI who then told me to go back on gluten to do the biospy. Within that 1 week, I felt great - lost a ton of bloat, was going to the bathroom normally...

When we had to go dairy free from my DD12 - it was everything. Whey, Caesin and all the above that you mentioned. Good luck! Susan

Thanks for your advise. When I went off G when my blood tests came back I didn't have any issues. I was off of it for 1 week, lost 4 lbs, not bloat, no GI issues and even my body aches went away. I was surprise to hear to go off slowly also. I only ate G once today and not planning on eating any tomorrow. Yes, my body does not like gluten, so...

Okay, the withdrawal thing I understand, so I will take it slowly - I guess he is waiting to see if I came Celiac or just Wheat Intolerant. Is there a difference. Or maybe he just telling me that so I would have some hope of eating pizza again. I guess he fells that there is something or he wouldn't be telling me to work my way off of gluten. All...

Hello! I had my endoscopy this morning and am now on a gulten free diet. The Dr wants me to go off of gulten slowly (have you ever heard of this), I did a cold-turkey off of gulten 3 1/2 weeks ago, and I felt wonderful. That was after I got my blood tests back and they showed low positives for wheat intolerance / celiacs. Then my GI wanted me to...

I totally have this. It is one of my main symptoms. For the one week I was gulten-free (before I had to go back on for my test), I totally lost my belly and was as flat as a board. Now I am huge again. My weight was done to 122 and I am 5'5". Now I am around 125 and so bloated. It is more the bloat then the weight. 125 isn't bad, but when it is bloat...

I bloat up like a balloon after eating any Oriental food. I never made the connection until recently, when I started the testing process for Celiacs. I am still eating gluten and waiting for the dr to reschedule my biopsy. It can not come soon enough. It could be something that the food was made with. Good luck! Susan

You sound much like me. I am going through the process of being tested. I had the blood work done and it did show signs of Celiac. So for 1 week I took my self off all gluten. HUGE improvement. Then I went to the GI and he told me to start eating gluten again for the biopsy, needless to say, I feel horrible!!! All of the symptoms are back. ...

Glad to hear that you finally have answers! Susan

Thanks - I am going to call my dr. I had my gallbladder removed 2 1/2 years ago . We thought that that was a key to all the problems - wrong. My test isn't until the 30th, but I am going to go call the dr. today. I have told my Primary Care about my back and she didn't say anything. Tylenol does help. Susan

For years and years and years, I have had a tingly feeling in the middle of my upper back between my shoulder blades, and my right shoulder is always sore. It is much worse at night. I have been treated for muscle spasm's and seen a chiropractor. The only time that I totally remember it not hurting was right after by DD7 was born and I was totally intense...

Thanks! I keep telling myself that. I went to bed last night looking like a beach whale. All my symptoms are back . This is just the pits. Susan

Hello, I am new here and to the world of possible Celiac / wheat intolerance. To make it short, my story is - for the last 2 years +, I have been blotted and have a horrible time doing to the bathroom. I am very gassy and by the end of the night can bearly button my pants. I am not heavy - pre-bloat I am around 122 lbs, with bloat I can get up...
