You mentioned seeing Rheumatologists. You mentioned RA and Lupus but Have they checked for Bechets? Blisters are very common in Bechets (oral and pubic area), as is joint pain.

I too just started taking vitamin d! I was still having soreness/fatigue and requested my doctor draw a level. (I used to work in a rheumatology office and I am very aware of vitamin d and educated many patients). My level was only 13 and I started the high dose 50,000iu once a week (very common rx for such a low level). I too feel great benefits! Keep...

Hello! I was actually diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and hormone imbalances (estrogen dominance) before dx with celiac. I had coped with it for 3 years. I was constantly adjusting my doses of hormones and adrenal supplements due to fluctuating "hormone symptoms". Just within the last year I had an echocardiogram done due to leg swelling and it was fine...

Hello. Does anybody know if Marcus theater popcorn is gluten free? I called the theater and the lady said "I have no idea. Its just popcorn". So, then I decided to come to this trusty forum Thanks!!

Hello everyone. I have been experiencing joint/muscle stiffness and foot pain resembeling a stress fracture (right on the top of my foot). It is very noticable when I stand from sitting and it will hurt at times while Im resting. I have been gluten free for approx 2 weeks.(I have made some wrong choices as I am just learning, so my diet hasn't been 100%...

Thanks for your input! As far as I know I do not have any other type of autoimmune disorder. 2 years ago I had participated in a health challenge and the last 2 months of the contest I was meticulous with my diet. (As I look back, I think I had very little gluten, if any). I felt amazing, but I had thought it was due more to adrenaline and winning the challenge...

Hello everyone! So I recieved my biopsy results in the mail today and all it read was that the biopsies were normal. I do not have any other guidance as far actual diagnosis or diet. My blood results showed elevated Deamidated Gliadin IGA . (My result was 88.9 and greater than 30 was a strong positive) All of my other labs were within normal range....

Hello everyone! I have my GI consult in 2 days. (I have to admit I am getting pretty excited as I have been waiting nearly 5 weeks). Do any of you have any advice/suggestions re questions I should specifically ask? I am not quite sure what to expect other than knowing I will NOT be getting my bx the same day. Do the GI docs even really care to hear...

Thank you for the information! I just needed a little clarification and some reassurance with my thoughts. I'm sure many can relate when I say that I almost started to feel like I was a hypochrondriac. Now that I look back, I see so many suttle signs of gluten problems even through grade school. Silly things really make sense now. (I havent bought gram crackers...

Hello. I am new to all of this, and I am just wondering if there is any feedback re my lab results. I have quite a few of family members who are in the medical field. They really pushed the "false positives" of the lab results. From everyhing I've read, there seems to be a greater chance of "false negatives". Here are the results: Tissue Transglut...
