crampy girl

Hi there. Yip. Same boat here. I don't get a consistent reaction. I broke down and are 2 pieces of the yummiest pizza ever and for horrible reflux and gas and now I'm C. It's not consistently a bad enough reaction to keep me off of it. It sometimes has to build up for a while before my body will cave into an episode of complete D, cramping, out of commission...

I have D when I am not stressed sometimes, but Once the D starts, usually around the third episode I start having that weird sensation in my gut as if I were stressed or having some kind of anxiety melt down. I get really fatigued feeling and this usually goes on for 2-3 days. I can never figure out the cause. It's as if my body just discharges some kind...

Thanks Skylark, you are always so helpful. After this challenge, once I get my scope results back, I think I am going to redo the blood tests. But, everything I am reading and seeing posted here tells me what you do. It's just so painful. I am going to resolve that I will go gluten free no matter what my scope/blood work says since I am symtomatic from gluten...

Thanks Jersey angel, I had some more cramps and 3 trips to the bathroom so far, no D yet, but scared. I will stay on course with 4 pieces of bread. 2 more pieces to go today.

Ok, I am on day 7 of this gluten challenge. I have to admit I have not been doing the full on 4 servings, started with one, progressed to 3 due to fear of reoccurance of my horrible stomach cramps and D. I have mild cramping after I eat gluteney stuff (cheezits, triscuits, bagels, bread, cream of wheat) but no diarrhea yet. My scopes are in 3 weeks. My...

Hi there, I feel your pain. If I had a sibling w a biopsy or blood test proven celiac, I would not agree to the double scopes. Unless your doc is looking for how much damage there is in order to monitor your response to tx. Or is looking for something other than celiac, as in my case. If you are symptomatic on gluten, better off it, this forum overwhelmingly...

The fun is starting. Stomach cramping now. It took a while though, makes me think it's more gluten intolerance rather than celiac. Also seems to be dose related, like there is some threshold for it, and the more I eat the worse the symptoms. Does that make sense to anyone? 3 weeks to go!

Sounds soooo yummy, reading your story is amazing. Did your kids get better? I am wondering about my 5 yo. She has contipation issues and is very temperamental and moody.how did your kids get diagnosed?

CassP, I know you are right. I am so freaked out about this diet. I am addicted to gluten,although today it tasted gross to me. Part of me thinks yeah, Ill never be fat, another is scared to death because I am just getting thinner and know I' m pushing vit deficiencies because I keep having recurring corner of mouth cracks,and don't want to be on b vit life...

Thanks jersey angel! I think I will sit down and cry if it comes back celiac....I'll be back

Hey cassP, thanks for your reply. The first cloak panel was anti gliadin, ttg,and I think antiendomysial. The second was all the above but done at promethius. No anti deaminated gliadin done. Deep down I hope I don't have celiac sprue and am scared to death, but I need to know because I have not had the motivation to Be 100%, mostly because I haven't done...

Forgot to ask does anyone know if there is a food that is just pure wheat/gluten or the highest level, if I'm going to poison myself I may as well do it right and not add the milk or soy or corn factor, since I am intol. of those.....

Hey guys, Its crampy girl again. Well.....I went to see my GI doc at OU MED center. He has been practicing for 25+ years and three years ago when I saw him, he wanted to the the small bowel biopsy but I declined..... Now he wants to biopsy me to see what else may be lurking in there celiac sprue or mastocytosis or eosinophilia, or microscopic colitis. ...
