Hello! It's been a long time! I am now as good as symptom free. After going gluten free for a while (and getting better), I went back to eating wheat & co. I didn't react. I think that maybe any stomach irritation would make gluten hard to digest! Right now, I only occasionally get acid reflux, mostly after eating fatty food (which also gives me...

Just realized that Heidi g. suggested candida. I have also considered this to be a possibility - especially because my mother used to have this when she was younger. Maybe I should try to cut out yeast but not gluten if my current gluten free trial doesn't prove anything.

Another update! I've been on gluten again for a while, but just went off again today. I was "fine" (not perfect - but only diffuse symptoms) for the first few weeks with gluten, but a week ago I was ill for three days. Really bad headache, diarrhea, intense stomach cramps. Is it normal to suddenly get really ill for a couple of days like this, or is...

OK, an update. I went gluten free for a month, and quite early on my amenorrhea resolved. Now I'm back on gluten, and I certainly feel worse. I do not want to draw any conclusions yet... But here is what I've noticed: - headaches. Pretty much every day. I used to have this a lot before I went off gluten, but did only have occasional headaches while off...

I've been free of gluten for a week, and I have indeed noticed my symptoms (especially stomach aches and digestive problems) getting better... I still don't know this is just a coincidence, so I'll have to wait and see. In a couple of weeks I'll try eating a generous amount of gluten for two days and see what happens. I think I will eliminate any yeast during...

Yes! I also came across some studies like that. With at least a handful of studies on this I really don't see why the official numbers are so high.

Most doctors leave it at that if the patient tests negative for celiac - not even considering that non-celiac gluten sensitivity might cause the same symptoms! So yes, the point is to figure out how likely it is that gluten is the culprit, even if you test negative for celiac (no matter if you actually are celiac or the gluten your sensitivity to gluten...

All though this some of these comments are quite shocking, I can't help but find some of them hilarious at the same time. But the thing with the spoons and the different serving plates is extremely rude. I really hope people will start to realize that celiac sufferers may react to the smallest traces just like people with extreme cases of nut allergy, which...

So many people are wondering how common false negative blood tests for celiac disease are - or to be precise - what the chances are of having celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity if your doctor tell you that you can go ahead and eat gluten. If you know you are gluten sensitive - PLEASE VOTE, whether your blood tests straight forward told you...

Thank you for the replies everyone! I've wanted to get a different doctor for awhile, because my doctor has more or less misdiagnosed my entire family... The first time I went when the first diffuse symptoms started to show up, she blamed it on "too much stress and too little exercise." How easy isn't it to blame it on that in a teenager.... But where I...

I am 18 years old, female, normal range BMI, no great weight gain/loss lately (or ever...?) and no diagnosed celiacs in my family as far as I know. However, on my mother's side, there are many cases of digestive trouble (My grandmother had stomach cancer (stomach problems all her life + weak bones), uncle a terrible stomach, mother a lot of stomach trouble...
