    They did both. Good to know. Was wondering why they took nine biopsies from my endoscopy.

    I have been told I likely have celiacs. Tests are still being determined (had a colonoscopy this week) For the last two weeks I have felt lousy! Abdominal pain, feeling like tons of little bubbles rising in my belly, (sorry to be so gross) flakey floating poop and the BRAT diet is doing little for me. I started going gluten free as of Saturday (had cut down...

    Colonoscopy and endoscopy are tomorrow. Thankfully, my insurance covers it all.

    Sorry. My response may have been confusing. I was going gluten-free, but they told me NOT to do that. So I started eating gluten again. I didn't react the first time to the Lindt chocolates, but the second time they did. THat would make sense if some do contain gluten. I may have just been lucky the first time because I had no reaction, but the second...

    I have been gluten-free only three days now.

    I had been told to stay gluten-free until my endoscopy/colonoscopy which will verify that I do in fact have celiacs. But I had not been having gluten (or had reduced it considerably) when I had that so reontroduced it to my diet (I'd only been gluten-free two weeks then). At that point I was also able to eat pizza and cake with some mild D. My doctors had...

    I have been needing the bathroom every morning when I wake up. I had a flare up last week. How long do flare ups last? I am a substitute so I work when I can (which is the only work I can do right now because my stomach interupts my life). And the last week I haven't been able to work at all. How do you manage a normal work life when you need the bathroom...

    Everything points to celiac's and doctor's are setting up tests for celiacs. Except I tried eating gluten-free at which I was highly successful - minus a few small cheats - such as when one of the kindergartners I was subbing gave me one of his birthday cupcakes - but besides an initial weight loss of 7lbs in one week - I've noticed no improvements. However...

    I like Active and Fit Vanilla Soy. I never thought I'd like soy milk until my Asian boyfriend (many asians are lactose intolerant) introduced me to it. I can related to the chronic constipation. I take a Ducolex stool softener two or three times a week. My sister is an herbalist and gave me a tincutre called Yellow Dock. I was vey apprehensive at first...

    About three years ago I started feeling dizzy, anxious and within a short period gained 25 pounds which is especially a lot as I only weighed 125. I had always had mild anxiety but now it was severe. And I chalked up the weight gain to the fact I was dating a baker. Over the year I seemed to be getting weaker, but I figured that it was cause I had gained...

    I have always had mild anxiety, but about three years ago I started getting severe anxiety. Was even hospitalized for it. And I've had it ever since. No big life events happened though I started feeling weak, dizzy, jolting as I fell asleep. Could this be related to celiacs?
