Im so glad Im not crazy and that other people have this. It feels like when my gull bladder acted up, but thats been gone for years. Making myself burp with a carbonated drink gave minor relief. My GI doc put me on 80 mg of omiperzole and it didnt help at all. They wanted me to take antidepressent. I refused to and went to an accupuncturist...

	ARCHIVED Illnesses With Celiac Like SymptomsAandGsmomma replied to zebrapig's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms You have nothing to feel guilty about. It takes time to learn the gluten free diet. You will learn to stand up to your friends and they will understand once your health improves. It sounds like you have a severe case of celiac.

	ARCHIVED Illnesses With Celiac Like SymptomsAandGsmomma replied to zebrapig's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Hugs!!!!! This does sound like Celiac. I also test negative on the blood work because of IGA deficiancy. If you really want a diagnosis then you would have to get a endoscopy and there is no gurentee that will come back positive.

	ARCHIVED Soft Taco ShellsAandGsmomma replied to Googles's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I just tried the Rudis tortillas tonight and they are ok but not the same as a flour tortilla. Plus they are crazy expensive! I use the uncooked corn tortillas in the refrigerated section. Works good enough.

The triage nurse wanted me to have her see a mental health person...
