It really amazes me how everything is making sense. You all even have the same heritage as me. I was born in London, I'm 75% English and 25% Scottish, lived in usa for most my life. My parents both had/have alot of health issues, hard to say if they had/have Celiac. My Mom died from inflammatory breast cancer and had digestive problems most of her life...

Thanks for the help Deb and Karen! I'm feeling a bit better! No runs today! -

My first day gluten-free I already messed up eating a gas-x which I understand is not gluten-free. I take loads of gas-x, ibuprofen, benadyl and pepcid complete daily to get through the day. I know the ibuprofen and benadryl are bad for the belly, but besides my all over body pain I have a steel rod in my femur that aches like a mother and I have many allergies... -

McDougall posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm 38 and after reading about Celiac all day today am very excited about my gluten free diet which is 22 hours old (except I already messed up eating a gas-x which I found out is out). I have been very ill the last 6 years, progressively worse, and show nearly every sympton I have read about. I have alos had most of the misdiagnoses. It's pretty easy... -
I'd like to get tested for Celiac, can someone recommend a doctor in my area?

I've been thinking maybe I should go to the doctor to get the initial biopsy, It would certianly ease my mind confirming my suspicions. Anyone know a good doctor in Pompano Beach/ Ft Lauderdale? How much would the test cost approx?

I just found out about Celiac disease this morning on google. I have been sick for about 6 years since a series of stressful events. I feel like I have poison in my body, I feel like vomiting always, my stomache hurts constantly. I have horribly painful gas. Migranes started last month. I'm depressed. I broke my femur in a minor accident a few years...
