ARCHIVED Going To Request More Tests....
taynichaf posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Two times my blood tests came back negative. I recently had a biopsy that came back negative, but they found GERD and a hiatal hernia. For some reason, my doctors will not test the full panel and I just don't get why! Being gluten free for just a few days I can already start to see changes.... I have MANY symptoms of celiac, and now i'm just starting... -
ARCHIVED I Had My Endoscopy Today!
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Results are in... Negative for celiac :/ Super disappointed because I'm still worried that they are missing something... For my GERD, i'm supposed to be taking medicine or something and for my constipation I have to be eating high fiber... Example, wheat bread instead of white bread. I just really feel like doctors arnt listening to me.... -

ARCHIVED Desperate For Answers Feeling Worse Almost One Month Later
taynichaf replied to rene83's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This scares me... I am the same way when I stop eating gluten... I'm tired and a mess when I'm eating it, and then once I stop i'm exhausted, but I can usually sleep very well, but I also need to take constant naps to get through the day.. Plus go to bed at around 7ish. I ve only been gluten free for about 2 weeks though, so i'm afraid that one month gluten... -
ARCHIVED Gerd Upper Stomach Discomfort - Celiac Related?
taynichaf replied to dek38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have not been diagnosed with celiac, but I have a problem with gluten. When I had my endoscopy they found I had a hiatal hernia and GERD... So I think gluten intolerance and GERD are tied together a lot. -
ARCHIVED Eating Gluten Free Makes Me Starving!
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Actually this makes a lot of sense... If I don't eat for a long period of time a get really shaky and i get heart palpitations (i think... my heart will feel like it beats rapidly for a short time, then it usually goes away) and probably other symptoms that I don't even realize... And I thought that these were just related to gluten. How do I get tested for... -

taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hmm... I have no idea! I'll have to do some more research on that... I used to actually think there was something wrong with me that had to do with diabetes... How long did it take you for this problem to go away? -
ARCHIVED Is This Normal?
taynichaf replied to downtownjodiebrown's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Maybe you have other food intolerances? maybe lactose intolerance, since you said you are eating a lot of yogurts and everything. Lactose intolerance also causes bloating and stuff like that. -
ARCHIVED Endoscopy Tomorrow!

ARCHIVED Eating Gluten Free Makes Me Starving!
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm eating my regular diet pretty much, except no bread. I'm eating a lot of fruits, veggies, chicken, peanut butter, rice, rice cakes... and just fairly healthy stuff. -

ARCHIVED Eating Gluten Free Makes Me Starving!
taynichaf posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
After my first celiac tests were negative I tried eating gluten free anyways.. I ended up STARVING! I lost weight really fast and I just needed to stuff my face all day! I love food, but it got to the point were I was just so tired of eating lol. Having such a big appetite is what caused me to cave and start eating gluten again and just get more tests done... -
ARCHIVED Help Me Interpret Test Results?
taynichaf replied to OmgTaylor's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had these results come out negative too.... Then I decided to go to a different doctor and get ALL the tests done... But she ran the same exact test :/ Which came back negative again. But that doctor got me in to get an endoscopy, so I can't complain too much. Now just waiting for those results... I was going to try and go to another doctor and get the... -
ARCHIVED Disappointing Endo Results
taynichaf replied to nosy parker's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am preparing myself for normal results as well But we know we have a problem with gluten, so no matter what our tests says, we should be gluten free! It's tough not having an official disgnoses, but i'm sure, in time, you'll be doing so well on the gluten free diet that your endo results wont make any difference for you... Don't give up the diet!! -
ARCHIVED Do You Think Celiac Disease Is Likely With The Family History I Have?
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I looked and I don't even fit the criteria.. I must be mixing lupus symptoms with something else. -

ARCHIVED I Had My Endoscopy Today!
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi! Good luck! It's really nothing to worry about... I didn't think it was bad at all, but I wasn't that afraid to begin with. I was heavily sedated, and the worst part for me was putting the IV thingy in my hand because I hate needles. My throat didn't hurt that much at all, but they sprayed it with this numbing stuff. Once I was sedated I was knocked out... -
ARCHIVED Do You Think Celiac Disease Is Likely With The Family History I Have?
taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks! And it just dawned on me that I might have lupus...? How do doctors even check for this?! Would he be able to see it with an endoscopy or anything? Because I have always had some of the symptoms of lupus, but they are also the same for gluten intolerance. I'm very pale and today I was sitting outside for awhile, then an hour later I didn't want... -

taynichaf replied to taynichaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Okay thank you for your response! I The longest I have intentionally gone gluten free is like 1 week... And even then I was amazed with the difference, so i'm pretty excited to see what eating gluten free for longer will be like!
