  1. I'm a little confused by my results. Are they indicative of Celiac or gluten sensitivity? My symptoms have gone away since I have gone gluten free, so I will continue that path. Since I have genes from both parents, should I have my children tested? They have been gluten free for a couple months, but I'm wondering if I should have them do the gluten challenge...
  2. My symptoms also got much worse after my pregnancy. I found out I was severely Vit D deficient after going to the drs multiple times with a slew of symptoms. I was pretty amazed how many symptoms went away within a couple weeks of going gluten-free. Hopefully you get some answers and start feeling better soon!
  3. I didn't really have blistering lips, but they were always chapped. Then I developed a rash at the corners of my mouth. I was told this was caused by a Vit b deficiency. Since going gluten-free (and adding a B Complex supplement) my lip problems have gone away. Before I was constantly applying Chapstick, now I occasionally use Vaseline, but that's it. I do...
  4. I went gluten free around mid-July. I've been keeping a journal of improvements for the last two months. The majority of my symptoms are now gone. Gluten-free one month (August 2012) Improvements: night sweats are gone Less intestinal issues, gas, and stomach gurgling Rash on corners of mouth are gone (occasionally still itches around my lips...
  5. I was told my newer symptoms of night sweats and waking up with a rapid heartbeat was probably peri menopause (I'm 39). They did a blood test and found out I wasn't peri menopausal, but severely Vit D deficient. So I was prescribed weekly Vit D supplements, and left it at that...
  6. Thanks Eternal! I appreciate your advice and opinions (newbie or not ). I am still considering genetic testing as a starting point, and then getting her tested from there (after she turns 2), but I don't want to wait to long because I've heard symptoms can get worse the longer you're off gluten. I agree that it's a healthy diet, but I also realize she...
  7. Well, it's been over a month of gluten free now and I've seen quite a few of my symptoms improve. I no longer get night-sweats and the rash around my lips has cleared up. Also, my GI issues have been so much better. I slipped up and was accidentally glutened when my husband and I went out for dinner. Reliving all the GI issues and having the mouth rash come...
  8. For years I have had GI issues, mainly diarrhea, bloating, and gas after eating. I went lactose free for awhile, but that didn't seem to clear up my intestinal issues. I must admit, I didn't know much about Celiac until recently (and still don't know a whole lot) My symptoms became worse after being pregnant. I've been to the doctor's office more in the...
