    This sounds very promising. I am in the process of trying to find out if I have celiac. Not starting the gluten-free diet until I get biopsies done. I too have bad KP on my arms and legs. I have tried several different lotions and nothing seems to help. I also have eczema and acne. It is good to know that gluten-free diet helps with these conditions...

    She wants to make sure it's not my lactose intolerance or bacterial overgrowth of the small bowel. That's why I'm doing lactose-free diet and antibiotics. I have a little over a week left. If I'm not better by then, I'll be calling her back.

    I can't go gluten free yet because my doc wants to do a scope procedures if the lactose-free diet and antibiotic treatment don't work. I am on the antibiotic 7 more days and then will give it a couple of days before I call her back. I was thinking about going gluten free anyway, but decided to wait and see what the tests say. I haven't tried to eliminate...

    I have had anxiety for about 15 years. Your anxiety symptoms sound very much like mine. Mine was the worst when I was in high school. I've been on meds for it for about 8 years. I would rather not have to take them. I'm glad to hear that going gluten-free can be a solution to anxiety. I think my psychiatrist thinks like yours also- that anxiety can...

    I have been avoiding obvious sources of dairy like milk, cheese, butter etc. Should I be avoiding anything with any kind of dairy in the ingredients (bread, packaged food, baked goods)? Does that help you? I am lactose intolerant, but haven't had problems with it for years. The doc. said it could be a reemergence of the symptoms. Lactaid tablets haven...

    Thanks! I'll do some research on the RPA diet. I really feel like it has to be celiac, but I will wait to see what the tests and scope procedures say.

    Thanks for the replies so far. I am still debating whether or not to try the gluten free diet before I go back to the GI doc. I'm not having as much problems with diarrhea since going low-dairy and on the antibiotics, but still get embarassing gas after almost every meal

    Yeah, it seemed like it may just be some kind of fad diet. Not sure I believe it either. I was just being curious

    Thanks for the input. I don't think I have DH, because my rashes are never painful, just itchy. I have heard that celiac and hives go together.

    I have been seen by an allergist who did extensive allergy testing for both food and environmental allergies. Nothing came back positive. And yes, I love my GI doc. She is really trying to avoid the IBS diagnosis. I am seeing a "shrink" for my anxiety, and she thinks it's IBS, but like most on this forum, I don't believe IBS is a diagnosis. I think it...

    To add to this...I somehow came across the blood type diets today. As it turns out, my blood type, type O, should avoid grains and dairy. Has anyone tested one of these diets before? I wonder if most people with celiac have type O blood?

    I am 22 years old and have been suffering with noticeable symptoms since June (4 months). I have already posted a similar post, but didn't get very many replies. Since the last post, I have developed some new symptoms. It started with hives that were very bad. I went to an allergist and was prescribed 3 very expensive antihistamines and a course of prednisone...

    Thanks. I will ask the allergist about a GI referral if he does not find something else.

    For the past 5 weeks, I have had hives all over. They do not go away and come back, just move around. I have been taking antihistamines (Allegra and Zyrtec), oatmeal baths and using steroidal creams (cortaid), but nothing seems to work. I have an appointment with an allergist in two days, but I am beginning to think it may be gluten intolerance. I have...
