Why are you scheduled for a CT scan? If you knew the amount of radiation involved, you would avoid this. You had a positive blood test for Celiac but you're eating gluten? For what reason? Are you getting an upper endoscopy and biopsy? That's what you should be having - not a CT scan.

I feel your pain. I was undiagnosed Celiac for decades because even when a doctor finally said hey, you kind of sound like you could have Celiac, because I have constipation, we didn't test for that. I really needed my doctor to know that even a Celiac can have constipation. In my case my colon is too long and therefore has extra twists and it doesn...

No, it's not crazy. I never had allergy testing, but I used to be allergic to plant pollen, many cats, roses (as in if I touched a rose to my face, my face blew up). I took an antihistamine every day. When I had to go gluten free, I stopped needing an antihistamine.

Celiac disease causes nutritional deficiencies. One of the common deficiencies is magnesium. Magnesium is the relaxation mineral. You can speed the healing of your gut with L-Glutamine. The best food source of magnesium is beef liver, because it is in perfect balance with other minerals. You should also take a magnesium supplement. My digestion runs...

I am sorry you are not getting the corner piece to your health puzzle. I was extremely similar, except that I didn't test til I got off gluten, tried to get back on gluten, but maybe a month wasn't long enough. Also, I had genetic testing and it was definitely in my genetic makeup. Also, recently I found out my grandmother did not die of leukemia; it was...

I used to have all sorts of issues when I was in my 20s, before I figured out all my problems. I had serious constipation before the Celiac was ever discovered, and I therefore don't know if I always had Celiac or the Celiac only popped up after my gallbladder surgery. But I always had headaches, migraines, insomnia, daytime falling asleep (even standing...

Hi! You are having a rough time. The anemia is the worst thing, although vitamin D deficiency can also drain you some. I would suggest supplementing it in the morning and also getting at least 15 minutes of time in the sun as possible each week. I also take magnesium every morning and calcium at night. I had not heard that calcium and iron were incompatible...

Please note that Kirkland's chocolate covered raisins have new labeling that states they are processed on dirty equipment (equipment that also processes items with wheat and nuts, etc.). The product looks different also. The size of each choc-covered raisin is much bigger than previously. I am told the bite sensation is different as they are harder now...
