    Poof, be gone, giant hemangioma! That would be AWESOME, if resulted from gluten free diet! I will put that on my list of questions for my appt next week!!

    Oh, I meant to add that while I do feel tremendously better, I do have many ongoing symptoms. I have had bad joint pain, especially lower back pain. I have been using a heating pad for awhile now and I rarely take Tylenol for headaches or anything like back pain. I've needed this more recently. Hopefully these symptoms will resolve over time. I also had...

    Thank you again, I honestly thought I had cancer, that's how bad I felt before stopping gluten. While looking for the cause of my abdominal pain, I had a CT scan which revealed a large mass on my liver. It turns out to be a giant hemangioma which is not cancer but will likely require major surgery to come out due to size and position relative to my other...

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I am not going back to eating gluten, stopping it was absolutely life changing. I guess I was just looking for, "see, I told you so" lab results.

    I've posted my symptoms before, that have progressively gotten worse over the last several years, coinciding with pregnancies. New Year's eve, I had enough and went gluten free to the best of my ability. Five days into gluten free diet, I had the Prometheus Celiac Plus test done. I knew that being gluten free could impact the results, but figured 5 days would...

    Ok, I have to respond. I could have written your post. My name is Julie, I'm 38. After my first child was born, we could not get pregnant. I had first baby at 30yo and tried for 5 years to have another. Was told my FSH was high, premature ovarian failure (at 32) and poor egg quality. I did everything from western medicine to holistic acupuncture. Nothing...

    Also, I forgot to mention that increasing fiber typically makes inflammatory bowel disease worse, from what I've learned from others with the disease.

    CJC- has your GI considered Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis, given the inflammation found? Did anything on scope report come back indicating + or - for these types of inflammatory bowel disease? Prometheus also offers an IBD diagnostic panel of bloodwork. It is not definitive (like everything else), but it might help fill in some blanks. There is a...

    Well some good news today, my nuclear scan confirms the hemangioma which is nearly 100% accurate, meaning it is highly unlikely to be malignancy! Yeah me! Now, I will collect my records and probably go to John's Hopkins Liver Center for a second opinion and to determine whether I need surgery to have it removed, given the size. Thanks for the replies! I...

    Trying to think of how to summarize everything...38 yo female, sensitive stomach for as long as I can remember, anti-belts (never wore belts because they hurt my stomach or even tuck my shirt in), have bouts of bad D followed by periods of relative normalcy. Always chalked it up to anxiety, food poisoning, blah blah blah. Rewind 3 years ago, during my second...
