ARCHIVED What Exactly Do The Symptoms Mean?
akcandle replied to roddi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
McDonald's Fry's...I can't eat them either. I am going out on a limb here, as I am new to this. However, all the research I have done points to the fact that it's difficult for gluten damaged intestines to digest fat, and the fry's are deep fried in Oil which would kind of "slide right through you". I also can't eat their hamburgers. I react violently... -
ARCHIVED -blood Results And + Biopsy
akcandle replied to akcandle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've thought and thought and thought about this and with my family history, my current symptoms (7 months of them)a sure fire trigger (Started immediately following the birth of my 3rd child), a recent colonoscopy that showd a healthy bowel (and a couple benign polyps they removed) I have decided to cancel the upper endo.

He did agree to put me back on for the upper endo for a biopsy and did admit that he has had patients... -

I am going to apologize 1st hand if I am asking a question that has been asked numerous times. My excuse is I have a easily bored 7 month old therefore little time for research. My Gastro thought I had Celiac Disease. My Grandfather does. My mother has been diagnosed with IBS over and over and has never completed a Celiac Blood Panel or upper endo. ...
