    It is odd that I came across this. I have not given up dairy but was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. For seven years I vomited on nearly a daily basis. I cut out all gluten about a week and a half ago and the vomiting has gotten much better. The only time it has happened in the past few days was after I had a cup of coffee with coffeemate in it. I...

    Thank you. I know that I have a hiatal hernia. That never occurred to me. I have had it for years though. Perhaps it got worse from the vomiting. It is very uncomfortable. The swelling is on the right side of my neck but the left is a bit sore off and on too, but not swollen. I just can't wait to feel better. Thank you. I will look into that.

    I was recently diagnosed with a blood test. I wanted to see a gastro doctor to confirm it and see if anything else was wrong because I went from just vomiting and loose bowels to being in a great deal of pain. My doctor would not send me. She wanted me to start the diet first. I wrote a letter to my old doctor but he was on vacation for the week so I felt...

    I don't know, I found information online, her advice , that said that it could only be diagnosed for certain with a biopsy. Seeing how my reading was 4.5, only slightly above normal, I would think she would want to confirm it with someone that does know about it. I suppose my fear is that something else is wrong because I have been undiagnosed for so long...

    Thank you for the advice. I realize that a gastro doctor might not correctly diagnose it either. The doctor that ordered the test tested for it because I asked her to. She didn't think I had it. She then called to tell me that I did have it and that I could get all the information that I needed online. I have NEVER had a doctor give me a diagnosis and then...

    Transglutaminase Iga of 4.5 and all other numbers were normal. The test says that 4.0 to 10 is a weak positive. The four other numbers were normal. She REFUSED to send me to another doctor to confirm it. Doesn't that seem a little strange to diagnose me with Celiac Disease with such a weak positive? Possibly I do have it, but certainly it does not seem enough...

    I picked up copies of the blood test today to send to my old doctor. I intend to switch back to him. It seems that the only number on the entire test that was elevated was transglutaminase iga, which was 4.5, a weak positive. Researching that, I found that it is possible to get a false positive number if there is any other autoimmune disorder present. I really...

    I guess it doesn't matter what anyone advises, she won't refer me until I start the diet. I was told that starting the diet hinders the result. I would like to know the damage done.

    Last night I got a phone call from my new doctor telling me that I had Celiac Disease according to my blood tests. She then told me to avoid gluten and to look it up online. That was all the direction I got. My niece has Celiac also and my sister insisted that she should have sent me to a gastro doctor for a biopsy to see how bad it is. I have been vomiting...
