I am actually still not officially diagnosed. My biopsy showed signs of the start of Celiacs and blood work normal. CT Scan done after was normal. Changing my diet has made me feel so much better so I am convinced that i have Celiacs but still not proven by the doctors. I have a follow up next week to figure out what to do next but in my eyes I have Celiacs...

I just recently started my gluten free diet about a week and a half ago. I have still been having some slight pain in my sides and some general cramps in my stomach towards the end of the day at work. Last night I looked at the label on my hair gel now that i am learning more about my new lifestyle and noticed that there is definitely a wheat product in the...

Wow thanks so much to everyone for the advice and info. I cannot tell you how much better I feel since I have joined this forum.

APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR ALL MY QUESTIONS!!! Also is it normal to always feel hungry when you start going gluten free? I feel like i have switched from constantly feeling full and bloated to always feeling hungry.

Bloated after eating half a plate of food sometimes, cramps across stomach region, pain in left rib cage!!!! that's it....very mild based on what I am hearing from others on this board..THANK GOD! They actually thought it was an ulcer which was what led to the endoscopy. Primary Care physician thought Gastritis or IBS.

The CT scan would be to rule out anything else....which like I said Im still not sure what the anything else could be since all my blood work is normal. I figure I give the diet a try and see what happens. I just don't get why after the endoscopy he ordered blood work specifically for celiacs. Obviously something in that biopsy pointed towards Celiacs even...

Well my doctor actually wanted me to get a CT Scan but I told him I wanted to go gluten free and see if that did the trick. I didn't really see a need to get shot up with radiation for I'm not sure what. I'm 34 yrs old, very healthy, and all my blood work and endoscopy were normal....aside from the start of what he thought could be celiacs. At any rate...

I was recently told that my biopsy showed signs of celiacs in its early stages and the dr wanted to do a blood test to confirm. My blood test came back negative. I have already decided to go gluten free to see if my body reacts. I read something today though that the biopsy and blood test are really only reliable on a fully atrophied (sp?) villi. If I...

Thanks. I already feel better just knowing there's a place I can get some advice from some others going through the same thing I am. If I hear that it's probably all in my head one more time I am gonna go nuts

I have been having stomach problems for about 3 months now. It came on suddenly and seems to get worse at times throughout the days and fine at nights. I was originally placed on Omeprozel and that seemed to help the symptoms some but they never went away. I then was referred to a GI and he performed an Endoscopy that came back inconclusive but showed "what...
