Well that's another thing, I haven't officially been diagnosed. I just knew that I had a bunch of the symptoms and decided to try the diet. Also I guess when you heal little by little you really don't notice it.

Just a little update on myself. I have been gluten free for about a month now. It seems like my issues are a little better but not a lot. Still pretty constipated and the bloating/pain is still there a little while after meals. My wife and I started walking a lot and that really seems to help with the gas (lol). Tonight for instance I ate one baked pork chop...

I am a type 2 diabetic and I also take 500mg of metformin twice daily, that alone will make you feel tired. It makes me feel tired anyway. When I read that you took steroids and it made you feel worse my jaw hit the floor. I had an ear infection back in June and after several attempts to cure it with antibiotics they finally wrote me a prescription to take...

Same thing here, off and on pain in my left ear. Seems my pain is also in my cheek as well. I was actually treated for an ear infection a few months ago so maybe its completely unrelated, I'm not sure. Had a checkup with an ENT about a month ago and he said that the infection is completely gone and I should not be having anymore symptoms. I told him about...

Don't feel bad, my Doctor is clueless as well. I mentioned celiac or gluten intolerance to him on Monday and told him I had been on the diet for a week or so. He looked at me and said I didn't fit the description of someone with either disease because they all have diaharrea, not constipation. He then told me we could test for it in two months when I come...

I feel your pain man, I have the exact same problem. When I eat its like my food gets to a certain point and just stops. Two or three days go by and I'm so miserable that I have to take laxitives or something to clean me out. I was also diagnosed with gastroparesis a few months ago and was told to take reglan, I flat out refused and never got the prescription...

So I went to see my regular doctor today for a checkup and decided to mention celiac to him. He knew exactly what it was but told me that caliacs don't have constipation issues, only diaharrea. I go on to tell him about this site that I ran across while searching for my symptoms online and he's like, well we can do the test the next time we need bloodwork...

Right now, everything that I eat still bothers me. I'm sure it will take my intestines a while to heal since I've been sick for so long. I read somewhere else on here about the fries at McDonalds containing gluten so that's why I mentioned it. I guess for now I still need to eat whole foods and not eat out at all until I get better. As for the trail mix I...

I honestly feel that God led me here and I really mean that. I am a 33 y/o male and I've had issues with my stomach as far back as I can remember. They have gotten quite a bit worse over the past two years. I have a dull aching pain in my lower right abdomen, pretty much all the time. Its not as sharp when I am standing for some reason. Also I have always...
