    The symptoms that you listed are classic celiac symptoms. I would request/demand that the GI Dr. to an endoscopy test with a biopsy to rule out celiac. You can't live your life this misserable. Hope you find a cause and get well soon. But....I bet your have Celiac Disease Lisa B.

    If richard says it's ok, then it's okay...if he says that it's not, then it's not. I totally trust him with my health (not to burden him, but to respect him and his experience). Lisa B.

    I am not sure that inhaling flour can "gluten" you, but many people on the site do feel that it is possible. How long have you been gluten-free? I do think that the longer you are gluten free, you may be more sensitive to glutens that you digest and possibly inhale. Could you work through your college and get a dorm transfer? Hope that you can work...

    Scroll down to the bottom of this page. Click on Forums, lots will pop up, then click on the " Gluten Free Cooking and Recipe Forum". I am so computer illiterate that I don't know how to cut and paste, the girls have been trying to teach me for years. (Guess I just don't want to learn, it the reason). It's easy, even I can do it. Good luck. Let me...

    Our Doctor reviewed her history, requested records from past tests, took her off the Donnatol and she is trying Zelnorm for a while to see if she gets any relief from that. He suspects that the Donnatol is giving her the morning headaches. To my knowledge there is not much difference in the symptoms between IBS and celiac disease. He has suggested that...

    I use Zantac 75 or 150"s. the 150's usually clear out my system at some point after taking one, but I am usually home. Pepsid is also ok. Don't think Tums chewable is good, but will have to look it up. Go to the products thread and search for "antacids". There you will find your answers.

    Bernese: Don't forget about the horses. They often carry alot of creepy things. That's why they have to be "wormed" about ever three month of so. You could may have well been infected by just hanging around them if you a super-sensitive. They carry "botts" fly eggs, skin fungus, tick (lyme disease), parasites and others that I won't mention. Don...

    From what I understand Alcohol is basically a solvent, like dish soap going through your body. For those that have been gluten-free for a while, you body is reacting to other toxins as gluten would be. The body gets more sensitized. (sp) If it dosn't react to gluten, it will react to other toxins. It is just what it does in it's defense. I still drink...

    Regionally or course, would anyone in the region be willing to travel to the Outer Banks of NC for a weekend at the beach for a support group/think tank gathering? It would be a non-holiday weekend. The house has one double bed, four single beds, and room for a day bed, and more space for sleeping bags. 3 bathrooms with and additional outside shower. ...

    I have been thinking about this for a while. He said that flattening of the villi is the classic hallmark of celiac disease? That is very interesting!!!! I have had the biopsy and flattening and scalloping of the walls was indicated and biopsy confirmed celiac disease. I was curious about research being done that would cause the same effects on the...

    Lisa replied to a topic in Doctors

    Chill, chill, chill.........I am one of the buttless people on the site. Keep an open mind and see what the Gastro Dr. suggests. To try to find the reason for all of this can truely be frustrating. I also have very lean arms and legs as well. I know that you have been reading the posts on the sites. I hope that it has been helpful to you. We all seem...
