I have widespread joint pain, have to take terrible meds to control it and STILL have pain, they just don't understand the flippin'... -
That is good to know that cruise lines do this. I have not had my blood tests yet, but strongly suspect I may have Celiac's (hope not though). We have been on 2 cruises with Princess and loved them both. We plan on another one, and may try Royal Caribbean next! Thanks for the info!!

I'm still in process of diagnosis, but have dropped 20 lbs last fall and felt lousy, (although I can afford to lose more). I don't have time for this disease either! If I do have it! I haven't gone gluten free yet because I'm getting the labs done next week, and then if I need an endoscopy, well.... Good luck to you both!...

I had my GI appt and requested Celiac testing. He asked a few questions, wanting to know only my GI symptoms that I was concerned with. I realize he is a gastroenterologist, but I wanted to bring in ALL my symptoms (osteopenia, neuropathy, balance issues, vision change, and some others) to look at WHY I wanted testing. He didn't seem interested...(Mind you...
