ARCHIVED Enterolab Results - Help Me Understand Gene Results
tripfecta posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Are My Symptoms Celiac?
tripfecta replied to Mama Maria's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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! -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else Have A Problem With Dry , Blistering Lips?
tripfecta replied to TGK112's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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... -

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...

ARCHIVED "it's All In Your Head!"
tripfecta replied to bartfull's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms - Thinking It's Celiac
tripfecta replied to tripfecta's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms - Thinking It's Celiac
tripfecta replied to tripfecta's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms - Thinking It's Celiac
tripfecta posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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...
