;Oh you are not alone! I was diagnosed about a month ago. My switching to totally gluten-free has been slow (I went on a trip just a couple of days after my dx and I did not adhere to a strictly gluten-free diet). But, I have been gluten-free for about a week now, and I do notice a huge difference. I'm not running for the bathroom or the couch immediately...

Of course the doctor told me nothing. They told me my blood test was positive for celiac while I was on the table about to go under the anesthesia and that was all they said. I know from this board that cross contamination is a big factor- I was just more touched that my brothers thought enough about what I was saying to make that gesture (it's brothers-...

Oh I have no doubt the emotional stress of my Mom's diagnosis sent this into overdrive. I just got so frustrated when doctors kept telling me it was solely related to stress but I still felt there there was an underlying factor. I am thankful I have found an answer after just a few months as opposed to years like it was for you. I did not inform cruise management...

Like you, I was just diagnosed earlier this week and it is extremely overwhelming. I just keep trying to remind myself that it is a race, not a sprint. Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, I won't be 100% gluten free in a day. You may have to start small: start thinking about what you are eating, what has gluten in it, and what you can substitute. After my...

I didn't know of a connection either until I saw some of the topics on the board with a lot of people talking about having both. Until reading them I didn't know that other people even had HS to the degree that I do. I certainly don't like to hear of other people suffering, but this board has been so helpful to me. My Mom was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung...

Yes I will definitely check these articles out! I was using the HS abbreviation for hidradenitis suppurativa- the skin disease where I get huge skin infections mostly on my upper thighs that have to be lanced and drained. Admittedly, I could be using the abbreviation incorrectly so please correct me if I am.

Thank you all for the great and prompt suggestions. I just ordered a few of them off Amazon.

I am in a similar situation to yours. Lots of neurological symptoms (mainly sudden loss of vision in left eye, hand and foot numbness, loss of coordination, and "foggy" feeling) in addition to a long history of stomach problems. I did go to the hospital for this a few weeks ago and everything looked normal with the exception of extremely low potassium levels...

First off, I have to say how grateful I am to have found this website. For a while now I have been struggling to try and find an answer for what has been
