ARCHIVED Morning Symptoms
brie1120 replied to enolah's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I did/do as well. Sometimes I'll even wake up in the middle of the night with a ridiculous amount of stomach pain. Every doctor wanted to test to see if I was pregnant and I knew for a fact that was not possibly the case. -
ARCHIVED Just Got Back From Colon/endo
brie1120 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just got back from my colonoscopy/endoscopy. The doc said everything looked fine, but that he did take a biopsy for celiac (and for something else that could cause ulcers.) I hope to god that it turns up being celiac because it will explain everything - otherwise, I'm back to square one. How likely is it that if the doc didn't see anything on the video... -
ARCHIVED A Question For Catholic Celiacs
brie1120 replied to brie1120's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hmm, I'll have to try and figure something out. At my parish, we only get the wafers. Only the folks who give out communion get the wine while they are waiting at the altar for their dish to give out. I cantor every other week so I could get the wine then probably.

ARCHIVED A Question For Catholic Celiacs

I'm still eating like I normally do because I haven't had my endo yet, but I got really really sick after church today. I think it might have been the Holy Communion due to the timing of it. So my question for Catholic Celiacs is this: How do you handle a gluten free diet? Do you just not take communion? Is there a special host you can request? My faith is... -
ARCHIVED Is This A Real Possibility For Me?
brie1120 replied to brie1120's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks everyone, I'm glad I seem to be on the right track. I never thought I'd say it, but I hope my test does come back so conclusive that there's no question. As much as it would suck, I would be so so happy because I would know what's wrong. No more running home from the mall with severe gas or waking up with a tummy ache! (And if I'm lucky, maybe I'd... -
ARCHIVED Is This A Real Possibility For Me?
brie1120 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi! I'm getting an endoscopy/colonoscopy in September with a biopsy and all that jazz, so I guess it's only a matter of time before I find out for sure. But until then, I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so I wanted to just run by what I'm feeling against what you've all experienced. My GI doc has brought up celiac as a possibility on more than one occasion, but...
