    Just wanted you all to know that with all of your good advice I was able to stand up to my doc and ask to see a gi specialist. I had the appointment yesterday.Even though I have my paperwork blood and biopsy results from March 10 the doc wants to do it all over due to my current issues. My hormone levels all came back normal and as expected my blood results...

    I don't live on base....wish sometimes we did. We own a bit of land which makes it hard. Wanted to let everyone know that I went to the doc today. I lost 2 counts in blood.(24) I explained the symptoms. I was precribed medicine for inner ear problems. She said the blood count wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. And it is my inner ear. What is the definition...

    Thank you all for your advice. We recently moved and I have not had a chance to push for a doc here. It is exhausting trying to push your way trough the system. I have been practicing a gluten free diet for over a year. But with that I have to add that I have a family that does not understand the disease, and my 4 kids are a bit reluctant to change their...

    yes I have had my thyroid checked, it is borderline high and fluctuates last they checked. Not enough that they wanted to do anything though. Also had laproscopy to check girl parts with no significant problems.

    I am diagnosed celiac with severe malabsorbtion issues. Anemia-being the worst. I am hoping you may be able to help- I started to exercise recently because I have become very weak. Within two weeks of starting I gained about 10 pounds and my period went awaycompletely.Also got a very intense yeast infection that was difficult to get rid of. The physical exercise...

    Hi, I equate having this disease like being pregnant-if you are a girl which I think you are, it is all you can think about all day and because we are hungry we of course think about it all the time. I don't know how sensetive I am to Gluten or wheat or barley or oats- I do know when it is really bad my eyes get severely bloodshot and I feel like I was...

    This month my period didn't come. I have a few weeks left in the month, but normally I get my period right around the 15th. (took a test-neg)I have not been horribly strict with my diet, although I am more aware- I am moving slowly into this. I have had alot of stress, but I have never not had a period at all, except when I was pregnant. I did have missed...

    I have seriously thought I may suffer from narcalepsy (At home. I feel like I could just pass out, like slow motion, sometimes my time perception feels distorted. It is hard to explain. It comes and goes I never have it for days only hours and the extreme reaction passes I drag after that. I find this to be the only thing that makes me want to adhear to the...

    Hi! I'm Proud-armywife and I am a gluteholic! So what do you think of this machine? Steep price, but maybe it will help me. My family is bread eating crazies! And I am considering this option. I know you are stuck buying their mixes frankly it looks so yummy I watched the demo and drooled!!! LOL I have not eaten any bread since being diagnosed... Any...

    I am there with you MA Hope you have a better day. I wish I could take my magic wand and wave it away- I have not committed myself to no gluten forever. Sad I know. But I just can't believe all this either. It will be ok. You will find a way, it will take time, you may slip up but in the end, at least we know right? It's your choice what you do with your...

    I haven't been here long, but I just wanted you to know that I am sorry- I hate feeling like that. Please know that I am sending hugs and wishing you well. I kind of remind myself during these times one day, one moment. Tomorrow is new-wishing you well.

    I am sorry about your other issues, I too have gerd due to a hiatal hernia-how could I also not know about this!! LOL It seems one more thing right now is too much! I admire your strength! And I hope one day I will be able to give the advice out. I made a decision yesterday. Not knowing how high my blood tests were, they are still at the hemotologists office...

    Thank you so much for all of your encouragement, it actually felt so good to just say what I was feeling inside, I try not to burden my family. I am grateful to you all and appreciate you sharing your experiences

    I am no pro to this I am new here. But I have read alot about the gluten challenge diet. Also many people have unclear results on their tests and even if you had it done and it were negative the only true test is to eliminate the gluten and determine how you feel. I always felt that something was wrong inside me, but I didn't have any proof. If you feel like...

    First, I have been diagnosed through biopsy and bloodwork.Second, I have the malnutrition affects of having this disease. It has affected me much like it anorexia effects someone. It is somewhat of a joke around friends-I have four kids and they all say-so what do you do throwup in the toilet? And they gesture to their mouth with there finger. It is hurtful...

    In light of finding your post yesterday I started the task of cleaning out a cabinet that I will stock all the good foods you have suggested. I am moving onto the fridge today where I will claim a few shelves. I also made an appointment with the nutritionist a few weeks ago. So maybe I can come back with some good info I can share. Yes the rumbling!...

    OH MY GOSH!!! I specifically came on the board today to see if anyone had any ideas about this topic!!! I have also been newly diagnosed. Found through unexplained anemia! I Thank you for your post! I wanted to add, that I thought also that I had no symptoms or latent celiac the doctor said. But I have been able to identify a few things recently that have...

    Hi! I have taken the ttg test and also taken another. That was the first part of the diagnosis. My doctor said they came back "blaringly positive" I believe my ttg number was 39 I have no idea what that means... The military kind of shuffles people around, so I have not been able to talk to anyone about this, once the hemotologist called and said yes your...

    Yes I am a little tired I have my moments where I crash out on the couch and my hubby says..." have you taken extra iron pills today" Sometimes I think it must be a bug but I take a few pills and I feel better. To be completely honest this is how I have been for so long,It rarely effects me.But when it is bad, it is really bad and I feel extremely frustrated...

    Thank you so much for your responses. In reading my entry I noticed that it was scattered. I am sorry. I had an endoscopy about 2 1/2 weeks ago. They told me to call in after 14 days, and when I got through the nurse told me that I need to wait for a letter in the mail it will contain the info for my appointment so the doctor can review them with me. My mind...

    I am new here and very overwhelmed. I have found some relief in a diagnosis but some disbelief in accepting it. I have been diagnosed with latent spru. I have the malabsorbtion affects from the disease. It started with severe anemia-many years.(I also have very swollen lymph nodes) I have recieved iron infusions, blood transfusions, and an array of iron pills...
