ARCHIVED Negative Test Results. Do I Have Celiac Disease?
superman replied to superman's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes I do have a long history of talking a lot of antibiotics and recurrent ear, respiratory tract infections, and skin infections (both bacterial and fungal) for over 18 years now. The infections got worse ever since my stomach problems started 7 years ago. But I'm not on any antibiotics currently. I recently read about the role of Candida in causing... -

I got the tests done by myself since... -

Hi WheatChef, Thanks for your reply. My fasting blood glucose levels were 125ish a couple of years back when I used to have those episodes of stomach pain or if I had fever or some kind of infection. I used to weigh much less back then, than I weigh today. So I'm confused as to why my sugar levels were so high back then? Maybe my small intestines were... -

Hello everyone, This is my first post, but I have been reading a lot of posts on this forum over the past few days. I'm going to write down my medical history in brief. I'll be very grateful for any help/advice. I am a 27 year old male, and I used to weigh 157 kgs (345.4 lbs) a couple of months back. I was in my worst shape and have been facing the...
