Hi all!
I found out in January 2009 that I have Celiacs. I went gluten free and within a month or so and started feeling better. Prior to finding out I had celiacs about a year before I had to have my gallbladder removed and I have suffered from digestive issues for a very long time. Prior to my diagnosis I had a terrible doctor who always claimed I just have IBS and would do nothing for me, he also missed my gallbladder for probably four years.
So now its been almost a year later and I still find myself having some severe pains in my side occasionally and found out that I may possibly have chronic appendicitis but unfortunately they are unable to locate my appendix through catscan and ultrasound. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has had appendix issues if there is a possible link to celiacs? I'm basically just waiting for another flair up before they'll just go in an remove it. Also wondering how many of you have other digestive condition? I"m just tired of never feeling well and want to get to the bottom of it. I've followed a gluten free diet very strictly, I've only accidently ingested gluten twice and definitely knew it over the next week.
I just find myself being very tired a lot and I also get hypoglycemic, anyone have that problem? Its starting to affect my relationships and my job because I never feel well, I have good days and bad days. so basically looking for any incite on the matter, any feedback would be very appreciated!!
Thank you!

Hi there. I'm very sorry to hear about your suffering for so long. It seems to be quite common that people go for years misdiagnosed. I had my appendix taken and missed my honeymoon when all that was really going on is that I had a celiac flare-up. I am finding for me, that eliminating gluten was not enough; I'm just highly sensitive from years of celiac disease I suppose. I am following the Paleolithic nutrition and I'm honestly feeling almost 100% better! SERIOUSLY! You can go to www.paleodiet.com and order the book Paleo Diet. Also google paleo diet. I think you will be surprised with what you learn. Good luck!
