    I don't have answers to most of your questions, b ut I do feel that if you've had problems for so long, you should indeed get your vitamin levels checked. Celiac can cause malabsorption problems with all kinds of vitamins and minerals, and you still have low energy. One of theh first things they tested me for when I complained of low energy, was iron (which...

    @gfindc: thanks for this info. I am going ot see a neurologist about my balance problems, and I'm going to mention to him that I have GI issues (if I see the neuro before my GI testing is done).

    Thanks for the welcome and advice. I know a lto of my psych issues could be caused by celiac.

I know that the evidence is inconclusive whether celiac is more common in autistics (it...

    Hi, I am new to these forums, although I've been reading for a while. I seem to frequent every forum for every gastrointestinal disease except for stuff like cancer, because I am undiagnosed. I am due to see a gastroenterologist on the 21st. When discussing my symptoms, my psychologist (yes, I know this is weird given s he's not a medical doctor) suggested...
