I'm glad yours cleared up! I know how annoying it can be. I did try it 4 wks in a row and still everyday my stomach expanded anywhere from 4-9 inches. Craziness! I have an apptment with GI if he can not figure it out or diagnose me I am going to do my own thing and go gluten free for at least 2 months or so. thank you for your advice.

Thank you for your thoughts. It dawned on me that maybe everything - my past poor physical health and mental health - could be in fact connected to celiacs. I am counting down the days to the GI faithfully

Thank you. I'm putting that on my checklist. this board is amazing. i was reading your celiac history and i cannot believe they misdiagnosed you for that long! It makes me think with all my past issues and current ones that this whole time ive had a gluten intolerance. grrrr

very interesting. thank you so much for your advice. I will stop at nothing to get this settled!

My plan of attack is if the GI cannot figure it out. Or even if I test negative w/ all tests..I will just do my own thing and pray everything goes away.

Is abdominal distention normal in celiacs? Has anyone else had this? My stomach yesterday was 30 inches and this morning it was 39!!It has gone down two inches half way through the day. This has been a recurring thing for the past 4 months or so. It feels like someone is traveling down my inteinstines with a knife. Can anyone relate? Anyone have distenstion...

To the people of the celiac universe. I know this is long but Please someone help me. I am feeling very hopeless and I'm just throwing all my issues out there in hopes someone could possibly tell me if my symptoms resembles Celiacs. Brief history - * major ocd started around 3 (pulling out hair, obsessive hand washing, fear of germs) as I got...
