ARCHIVED Anyone Have Nail Fungus?
Mom-of-Two replied to Swingin' Celiac's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I tested positive for celiac via blood panel not quite 2 weeks ago. I don't see a specialist unil March. I have had pitted thumb nails (both) for years now. Yellowed, pitted grooves, and some lines. I not only showed my dr this, but also the dermatologist, and both didn't seem concerned. I now feel strongly that it is due to my celiac!!!! When I see the... -

Wow, thank you for the replies. I am so overwhelmed, which I assume is a normal response. I am even more overwhelmed at the thought of my children having it, or wondering when they will get it, even if they test negative now. I knew the numbers were high, but my dr wasn't too aware of any of it to be honest (which is common I guess) and just has me going... -

I have been having symptoms for a few years now, off and on, that I saw my dr for a few times. She told me it was IBS, I tried the treatments she suggested including probiotics, lots of fluids, and fiber. I returned to her prior to the holidays and she ran more aggressive blood work and sent me for an abdominal u/s to rule out any organ issues (gallbladder...
