  1. yeah i think i'm going to try to go gluten-free entirely and see what happens... i got my energy back and then i had a couple of slices more just to see, and the same thing happened... like i had taken a sleeping pill... the toppings were cheese, green olives, and mushrooms... no tomatoes... thanx. )
  2. hi there, A couple of months ago, I was tested for celiac disease with the blood test and the stomach biopsy and both were negative... i was really disappointed (since i wanted to figure out why i've been having so much gas/bloating since I was 14 - now 30)... i thought, maybe wheat isn't my problem, so yesterday i had four slices of pizza and afterwards...
  3. oh sorry, you meant my gastroscopy symptoms... they get better every day so i should be fine very soon... thanx again
  4. oh i know it doesn't test for celiac and i can wait another 2 weeks (i've had symptoms for 15 years)... i know it sounds weird and illogical, but i just don't want to start the elimination diet until all my tests are done... plus it'll be a new month in 2 weeks and it'll be time to buy more groceries by then so it just makes more sense to me.
  5. I don't want to start the diet just yet cuz I have a colonoscopy booked at the end of the month and for some reason I want to be done all tests before I start experimenting with my diet. Also I'm feeling much better today with very mild stomach pain when i have a meal but it gets better every day. I think the doc just did some major scraping for the biopsy...
  6. well i just had my gastroscopy done on Saturday morning (yesterday). I was told i could resume a normal diet so I ate something a couple of hours later. I immediately got heartburn and lots of pain in my stomach. After a couple of hours of sleeping, the pain was a little better but the heartburn was still there so i took a Pepsid AC. Most of the heartburn...
  7. well i had the blood tests done and they were negative... just had my gastroscopy today and now i have to wait for the results. I was a little groggy after the gastroscopy because of the sedation and I remember her handing me a sheet of paper saying that my gastroscopy was normal, but then she handed me a prescription for Pantoloc, so i'll have to call them...
  8. adab8ca... yeah, the more i read posts, the more i'm realizing there are a lot of docs not very interested in or educated about celiac disease... now as a GI specialist, isn't is their JOB to know everything they can about their specialty, especially since they get paid very handsomely for what they do?? *sigh* hockeymomofceliacchild... I might be willing...
  9. Hi there, I was wondering if anyone who lives in or around the Mississauga, Ontario area knows a good Gastroenterologist who has much experience in celiac disease. I just did my blood tests today and am just waiting for the results. I am worried that they will come back negative and I will be back to square one about what's wrong with me, but I would...
  10. Thanx! And I'm glad it has helped you. I really hope this is what's wrong with me because I really don't know what else it could be. Everything seems to point to this. Thanx again.
  11. Hi arch8, I have been having the same problem and am just realizing that i might have gluten intolerance, but am reading more about it every day. My social life has severely suffered (especially not being to go to the movies - everyone loves going to the movies!) I know this is a really old post and I'm not even sure if you still visit this forum, but...
  12. Yeah, I'm thinking that even if I test negatively, I'm still going to do my best to live gluten-free. I've read some other things, like you can get deficiencies from celiac disease, like iron deficiency (like i have - taking Euro-fer currently) from damaged villi not being able to absorb the proper nutrients from food. Also, some people in my family have...
  13. Hi everyone, I have not officially been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, but I've been suffering from excessive amounts of gas since I was about 14 years old and I am now 30. Recently, I did the South Beach diet (where you eat only vegetables and meat and eggs basically for a couple of weeks) and I felt great. Not 100%, but most...
