    If you didn't get sick no big deal, just this once. My friend and her sister are both dx celiac. My friend has no symptoms so she frequentyl cheats (every week) her sister who is deathly ill when eating gluten also cheats "but not as much". LOL it's not my place to tell them how to live.

    I am 17 and if I was checked for the bone thing I would probably come back as 11 years old too. My 8 year old cousin is the same height as me, no big deal being short isn't the end of the world. My father is on Prilosec, it works for him. He gets sick when he misses a day, if he eats anything acidic he must have the prilosec. I can't tell you if this is...

    Colonoscopy will not diagnose celiacs. Take a pregnancy test and if you are indeed pregnant go off gluten for the baby's safety. Good Luck!

    I'm pretty sure that ulcers aren't part of Celiac. They are part of Crohns Diseas whic can get much better off gluten. Have you had a colonoscopy? To rule out Crohns?

    Kaity, Many people can not tolerate lactose when they have celiacs. Take him off both, COMPLETELY. No cheese or yogurt, or even icecream. Babys rarely have a positive celiacs blood test and it was foolish for your doctor to think otherwise. So no gluten and no lactose for your little boy. He will get much better off of both (I think, but there is...

    I just read about type 2 histamines on here. I will have to try some meds for it. Because all the ones I have used are not for type 2.

    Well your IgG is too high. Your IgA is "high normal". I'm not a hundred percent but you TTG IGA looks normal. I'm still pretty new at the whole blood test thing, but I think i have read it right. More will comment and give advice. If you are feeling crummy and this is why you got tested, then go gluten free for a trial. Unless of course your doctor wants...

    My cats don't react to catnip. I have had 6 cats on my life and not one likes cat nip. So I figure we don't buy the right kind, I think its probably like marijuana, you have to find the good stuff thats organic. LOL I don't want drugies for my cats, thanks anyway. Never been to LL Bean but I have heard of it (commercials maybe) I don't think...

    I get the "bumps" I was talking about on the sides of my nose and all summer I take various antihistamines including: allegra, zertec (Spelling?), and Bendyrll. None seem to make the ones on the sides of my nose go away. I actually get almost no relief from "seasonal" allergie symptoms, i.e. runny nose, itchy red eyes, sneezing. I figure its still allergies...

    The "rashes" aren't visible for more then 15 minutes. They look like hives. I do have some areas where there is a red raised bump on my skin and those last for days, but are not itchy or tender. The bumps are about half the size of a dime. I had one on my hand above my thumb, one on my toe knuckle and one right above my elbow. By the time they were going...

    I thought about how I've had a hard time Christmas Shopping and thought I wanted to hear your guys stories too. I am 17 but I dress much more "grown up" then the other girls my age Because I am so mature. I actually really belive in comfort (probably because of all the times I haven't felt good and I just want something that fits and doesn't itch...

    We have decided to put off the doctors appointment and more blood tests until the new year. (Insurance Reasons). Not feeling any where near 100% lately. I never feel perfect but, I have been having more headaches and I easily slept 16 hours on Sat and Sun, because I was tired and because I had a horrible headache. Don't feel so hot always have a bit...

    Funny Also to Diandliam: This is the very reason I tell people I never want to go to australia. They ask me if you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? I either say "Russia because its too cold for anything scary to live there, other then communists." Or "Anywhere but australia because they have poisonious air." I'm pretty sure...

    I'm 17 and I was in pain the day after my endoscopy. It went away the next day. It was a different kind of pain, like a pinching where they took biopsys (thats what mine felt like). They push air into your stomach when its done so it could be cramping from that. If he has a fever over 101 or significant bleeding or vomiting then call the doctor...

    Glad to here it went better, I was worried that it would go worse. Have a very Merry Christmas.

    OK, These doctors are so stupid I swear! Why would they say one was high and one was normal when neither were true... Is it possible they tested it on a different scale of measurement? I have read that a Total T4 isn't a very good test, and it has me worried because it can be changed by birth control pills. Which I do take (for stomach cramps and nothing...

    It was easy. I am 17 and had mine done. I pass out any time somenoe pokes me with a needle, so that was part of it I had some pain the day after but that was from the colonoscopy they day before the endoscopy. Colonoscopys are much worse trust me! I HATE NEEDLES. If they have me lie down I won't pass out.

    My T4 test was a free T4 My T4 came back at 12.5 and the range was 5.5-10.2 (last test you guys said their ranges were off so I guess the same could be true here.) My T3 came back at 32 , they didn't give a range just said that it was normal. My TSH was 5.19 range 1.0-4.5 (according to them) This isn't "normal" from what I am reading. One...

    ARCHIVED Sick

    Booghead replied to Booghead's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I had some D earlier. Probably about 4 times this morning. I forgot to tell everyone that. I'm really hoping I get feeling better much quicker then 2 weeks, but if it is just D then I can live with that. The nausea is what is killing me right now. Can't sleep because I keep feeling like I'm going to throw up again.Its been 2 hours since my last one but...

    ARCHIVED Sick

    Thanks for your help. I have been very sick. Have not stopped vomiting since 2:30. The last 5 hours has been dry-heaving every 30 minutes or so. I can't keep water down, let alone anything else. I ate shrimp with the pasta so it is very likely that it could be food poisoning. I am not going to eat gluten any more. So you don't have to tell why I shouldn't...

    ARCHIVED Sick

    Booghead posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Well as most of you know I decided to eat gluten for the weekend before my next doctors appointment. I ate pasta and garlic bread yesterday for lunch. I had nausea within 20 minutes. It went away and I was ok all night, until 2 this morning woke up with terrible nausea, and within an hour I was vomiting. I either got severe food poisioning or I got sick...

    I have never thought about it. But I agree that most homeless people probably aren't diagnosed with anything let alone the complex process of getting diagnosed with celiac disease. We have very few homeless people where I live, but we do have panhandlers, and the general view on panhandlers is either prove that their story is true ("Me and my kids are hungry...

    Mom read all your posts. She thinks that I should probably stay on a gluten free diet. I am still going to eat gluten for the weekend (I want to have a more conclusive trial then 2 meals). I have noticed that I didn't eat any gluten today, yet. It is so strange how used to gluten free I am. I actually prefered no gluten when picking out my lunch, I could...

    Having some cramping this morning. Along with some gas. Perhaps the rashes I have are also from binging on gluten last night. Going to continue to eat gluten over the weekend and see how much worse I get. If I get worse I will just go saying I have a gluten intolerance and leave it at that. Because I have lost my respect for the GI community as a whole. Maybe...
