ARCHIVED Long Time Celiac; Symptoms Resurfacing
tummyaches replied to buffettbride's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Here is a really good link I found about SIBO. Open Original Shared Link We've had similar issues in our home and our son reacted after eating a raw corn cob the other day. I'm wondering if it's because it wasn't organic because he doesn't react to corn. He's stick thin and getting thinner, despite eating a lot of food. His issues are grains. I think... -

I am wondering, does celiac do anything to your bowel? I was having horrible symptoms... -
ARCHIVED Gene Testing?

I've suspected my daughter and myself both have celiacs or at least sensitivity to wheat. My GP ordered a gene test for myself and it apparently came back negative. I'm a little confused if gene testing is the same as antibody testing? Also, is a gene test impacted by being gluten free at the time of testing? I have many symptoms of celiacs, as does...
