About Me
Newbie to this site.
Type 1 Diabetic on insulin pump
Turned 50 Dec 09, thought it time for colonoscopy since aunt died of colon cancer. At 50 insurance will pay. Had no symptoms before colonoscopy 3-2010. Experiencing diarrhea, oil droplets and undigested food in stool, loss of weight, fatigue since the colonoscopy.
Ran bacteria, parasites and fecal fat on stool and they are came back normal.
Ran Blood serum for celiac & they called today 6-22-10 to tell me it came back normal, no celiac disease and no genes for celiac.
Been on a gluten free diet since 5-26-10 with improvements of symptoms, but still have a few set backs with oil and undigested food and occasional diarrhea. Think it might be an accidental ingestion of wheat. Trying to be sooo careful.

ARCHIVED Tostitos Baked Scoops- Anyone Had Trouble With These?
Not2sure replied to Not2sure's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello everyone and thanks for your feedback. I have made sure that nothing I was eating contained soy, although I did notice the tostitos bag says soybean oil. I know soybeans themselves don't contain gluten, so I would have thought that the oil wouldn't either, so I thought it was safe. However, I am being tested for soy, egg, yeast and dairy as well... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test For Celiac Came Back Normal-Or Did It?
Not2sure replied to Not2sure's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Wow Wheatchef, it sounds like you know what you're talking about. I guess the confusion for me is how do you know I have two genes that are the same? Is it the word homozygous? Not2sure -

Thanks for your comments Ravenwoodglass and Skylark. I appreciate your input. Skylark, what do you mean I have not one but two genes? Not2sure -
ARCHIVED Blood Test For Celiac Came Back Normal-Or Did It?
Not2sure posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello All, I'm 'not2sure' and I am posting because I wanted to know what you all think. I have read lots and lots about Celiac and I think that my symptoms correlate, but on the other hand I'm beginning to think I might be wanting to test positive for Celiac as I don't want any other diagnosis, such as pancreatic cancer or something more severe. ... -
ARCHIVED Tostitos Baked Scoops- Anyone Had Trouble With These?
Not2sure posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
New to the gluten free arena. Been off gluten for 3 weeks now and have seen tremendous improvement with my symptoms, but this past weekend I had several things that I hadn't been eating that might have caused the symptoms to reappear. I had the baked Tostitos scoops and was wondering if they might be the culprit. The ingredients don't mention any wheat... -
I'm a newbie trying to figure out what to do. I've experienced diarrhea for a few months now along with greasy/oily stool, and have lost weight, which I didn't need to do. I've had fecal fat, bacteria and parasite testing done on my stool and they all came back normal. So the Doctor's PA and I spoke about the possibility of Celiac Disease and she's ordered...

ARCHIVED Wondering If Anyone Has My Same Symptoms?
Not2sure replied to Not2sure's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I received a phone call from the Doctor's PA and she said that my stool testing came back normal for parasites, bacteria and fecal fat, but when I told her that my symptoms has diminished after avoiding gluten, she said that we should do a test for Celiac. So I'm waiting now for the lab request to come in the mail. I spoke with the nurse assistant today... -
ARCHIVED Wondering If Anyone Has My Same Symptoms?
Not2sure replied to Not2sure's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello and thank you to all who have responded. I am certainly not sure of what is going on, but I have noticed that since I've made an extreme effort not to consume any gluten, that the oily stool has cleared up quite a bit. On Monday, it being a holiday we had folks over for a cook out and I ate a marinated salad (raw tomatoes, onion, olives and a little... -
ARCHIVED Wondering If Anyone Has My Same Symptoms?
Not2sure posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I posted yesterday and had no one reply, so I'll try this again. I'm experiencing some strange behavior in my bowel, that has only occurred since my recent colonoscopy. Thinking that I was having trouble after taking the laxatives that it might take a while to recover, but it's been over two months now and I've lost some weight, feeling tired and am having... -
ARCHIVED I'm Not Sure What Is Wrong With Me
Not2sure posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am a 50 year old Type 1 diabetic who recently had a colonoscopy done. No previous symptoms, but my aunt died of colon cancer, so when I turned 50 I thought it was time to have one done. Found I had a diverticulum, Doctor said to come back in 10 years. However, ever since the cleaning out I've had irregular bowel movements, including oily stool. No other... -
