This is Floral. I didn't know my initial posting would get so many responses. I always had a bad stomach and things just kept getting worse. 10 yrs of bowels obstructions followed by parasitic infestation. And how did I know? I could see this mucousy stuff floating in toilet. I research it and realized what I was seeing. Didn't know what to do. Talked...

Just an FYI...only 30 percent of people with celiac get a positive test. Dr. Peter Green states this in CELIAC DISEASE A HIDDEN EPIDEMIC. Granted the book is twenty years old but I don't think things have changed much. People thought that Celiac disease was a rare disease but I think it's just rarely diagnosed. I recently went to a dinner and three people...

This note is to address Heather C. I also had a gastric bypass and have been recently diagnosed with celiac. My nausea has recently been uplifted and it took an entire 6 months since going gluten free. I hated feeling constantly nauseas and it reminded me of that horrible green feeling while pregnant. Remember how at 4 months or so you realized one day...

When you have a gastric bypass you lose the part of your intestine that digests lactose. You are told before surgery that you will become lactose intolerant. To me it didn't make any difference since I had been severely lactose intolerant since the age of 18. I'm surprised that the above doctor who performs this surgery for a living wouldn't have informed...

I also had a gastic bypass and had nothing but problems and was diagnosed celiac after ten years. Initial blood work, etc came back no celiac as well. Biopsy proved my suspicion. I can't help but to believe there is a correlation between gastic bypass and celiac. Perhaps it just exascerbates an already pre-existing problem. btw I had 4 bowels obstructions...

My mother had ms. Recent studies show that children of ms'rs have celiac 32 more times than most people. My brothers and sister refuse to believe that and just ignore me. My two nieces have celiac. My cousin has celiac. Obviously my brothers think of this as a "female" disease. ha ha and these are college educated professionals who are very intelligent...

I also had gastic bypass sugery and had nothing but stomach problems since then and now diagnosed with celiac. I wonder just how many of us there are? What the statistics are? I am really interested in finding out more on this subject.

I had sleep issues in the beginning of my diagnosis...also, terrible jaw pain and neck ache at the end of a long day. I recently got glutened over the Thanksgiving holiday so I'm back to not sleeping, my jaw is killing me and my neck hurts. The only difference is that I know what it's from and do have tramadol for pain and something to make me sleep thanx...

I am extemely lactose intolerant and have been since the age of 18 (I'm 53 now). I just switched to Soy Vanilla and it's wonderful. I can have a small amount of shredded Mozzarella and I do well with cream cheese as well. Experiment and see what you can handle and check out all soy cheeses and products and substitute as much as possible. I always say...

I had a terrible parasite infestion before diagnosis. It lasted about a year. So many awful critters...too many types to mention. Scared me to death. It took 90 days of herbs to get rid of them. Shortly after...I was diagnosed with Celiac. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this. I was probably Celiac for 10 years before being diagnosed...

I also have malabsorption issues and take Vit B shots. I have noticed that my B12 levels are too high when my MD checks just after I've taken a shot. Perhaps timing is everything in this case. P.S. I don't feel that the shots are effective anymore. They used to make me feel better and have more energy. They say I'll have to take them for the rest of...

I found out I had a sleep apnea before I was diagnosed with Celiac. Didn't sleep well for over a year. Only been on a gluten free diet for 15 days and last night was the first night that I slept well and felt rested. I also didn't throw off my mask during sleep and my daughter said it was the first night that she also slept well b/c I wasn't snoring! ...
