Hi, Wating for test results. I took a test for Celiac about 4 years ago. I had been on a gluten-free diet for a few weeks at the time and the test came back negative. At the time I had a rash on my scalp and my hair was falling out all over the place. The rash lasted for over a year or even more (can't recall when it went away) but eventually subsided...

ARCHIVED Scalp Folliculitis... My ***!
kampingal replied to brizzo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi there, I'm new to this too and researching my own symptoms, trying to piece this mess together. My symptoms started about 4 years ago with a rash on my scalp similar to this. Itched terrible and my hair was falling out as well. It lasted over a year but eventually subsided. I have countless other problems/symptoms and am waiting for test results now... -

kampingal posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I have many symptoms of celiac and am going to be tested in a couple of weeks. Curious if anyone has seen any research of a symptom or heart palpatations or shortness of breath as well as temporary blindness?

ARCHIVED Testing - How Long After Starting To Eat Gluten?
kampingal replied to kampingal's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The desire for testing is somewhat for myself but also out of concern for my 2 children and my younger siblings who have similar symptoms but no health insurance to do further testing like myself. There is also the temporary blindness and heart/circulation which cause me some concern since I can't seem to find a definitive link to Celiac. Although, it... -
ARCHIVED Testing - How Long After Starting To Eat Gluten?
kampingal posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi...I stopped eating gluten on 12/15/09 at the advice of an acupunturist who gave some electrode alergy test. Then friends told me they had heard these tests are invalid and told me to see a "real" doctor. I've contacted a doctor who I am scheduled to see at the end of the month. I started eating gluten on 1/9/10 (at least 2-3 pieces of wheat bread a...
