ARCHIVED Very Frustrated
boysmom8 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi. I posted before about wondering if I have celiac like my two kids do. Since that post I have been having some abdominal pain and gassyness. I haven't had the "classic" loose stools and the Dr. doesn't think I have celiac but diverticulitis(My Mom and brother have both been diagnosed with that). I have lots of pain up under my ribs(mostly left but... -

Hi, I just couldn't believe he was saying it. BUT one thing the endocrinologist in Milwaukee that screened Seth almost 5 years ago said that even though he isn't having severe symptoms of celiac disease that it makes it harder to control blood sugars. I HAVE noticed when Seth gets gluten in his diet he does run higher blood sugars since the body's immue... -

hey(typing wiyh baby on lap so...). I took my son yesterday to his diabetes appt.The endocrinologist actually said that the medical community is debating about weather or not the routine screening of type 1 diabetics is necessary(for celiac disease) He said especially since most of the kids tested aren't even having symptoms. He said because of the dietary... -

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I just think it's got to be something I am eating. I am leaning more and more to celiac. I just ate a bit ago and now my stomach hurts. Not painfully hurting, just uncomfortable. I am going to call the Dr tomorrow and get an appt and get the testing done. What exactly is the panel I need to ask about again?? And also... -
Hi. I have been reading the board like crazy and I feel so totally ignorant! I have two kids with celiac disease(or so they say) it could be more I think!! When we had everyone tested(including my husband and myself) the only test they did was the anti endomysial antibody test(spelling is wrong I'm sure). They were negative for that antibody but if...

ARCHIVED New To The Board

Thank you so much for the ideas. I have written a whole bunch down and NO I hadn't heard of the Chebe bread before. I was trying to make my own and it just doesn't taste that great. Lucy, my son who is diabetic is 10 and has had diabetes since he was 2years3months. Of course they don't know what triggered it but they think stress and/or a virus was... -

Thank you for the ideas. I'm looking for more!!! I have another son who is constantly having celiac symptoms but tested negative. doesn't make sense.....I thought for sure he had it too. I know a few folks who put their whole family on a gluten free diet since it was easier. I just don't know how they afford it! My 4 year old has never been... -
Hi. I have 8 children and two(so far) have Celiac(one also has type 1 diabetes). They have been on the gluten-free diet for going on 5 years now. I find myself getting so bogged down lately since the oldest of the two is going into the teen years very shortly(b-day in Oct). The diet wasn't as much of a challenge when we homeschooled but for a year and...
