    I had a biopsy done last week to test for Celiac disease and any other digestive issues they might discover. I had some general irritation of my gut, but nothing remarkable and the doc said all of the pathology came back normal. Following the biopsy, I went back on a gluten free diet and I will say my symptoms have improved slightly over the past week....

    Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to mention it to the doc.

    I haven't had a biopsy as the rash doesn't look to be severe enough to be DH, but I could be wrong. I have a derm appointment next week to look at the white hairs that come and go on my scalp, hoping that I can find out what is causing the white hairs which may be another piece to the puzzle. Right now, I'm not sure if I want to go through a 4-12 week gluten...

    Thanks for all of the replies. Just a quick update. I saw my GI doctor again and she ordered a Celiac DNA test. I should have those results back in the next week or so. She said that a gluten challenge is 4 weeks regardless of whether I do the blood test or biopsy. I thought it was only 2 weeks for the biopsy? I have had a couple more reactions...

    Thank you for the information. The itching does seem to be related to histamines both in food that I'm eating and released during exercise. I've been trying to eat a low histamine diet the past few days and it seems to be helping a little bit. The bigger question though, is why have I developed a histamine intolerance? Here's a typical day lately...

    Thank you for the ideas regarding histamines. After trying anti histamines for a couple of weeks, I came across histamine intolerance and avoided all foods that are high in histamines or cause your body to produce histamines and it seems that I saw a slight improvement. Maybe I'll revisit this. GottaSki - I noticed in your sig that you mention that...

    From what I've been reading on this site, it's possible to have a false negative biopsy right?

    Thanks for sharing your story. It would seem that if leaky gut was causing your body to create antibodies to gluten that you would have also developed multiple other food sensitivies, as other food particles would have also been leaking into your blood causing an auto immune response as well. Was that the case? I'm in limbo, trying to decide whether to...

    Welcome! Your story is nearly identical to mine and I'm in much the same position trying to decide whether to purse an official diagnosis. I'm very new to this so I don't have much to offer in the way of advice, but I understand exactly what you're going through and i'ts no fun. The good news is that you've identified what's been making you sick all of...

    I saw my GP yesterday and he diagnosed me with hypoglycemia as I get extremely fatigued after eating just about every meal. It's already difficult trying to figure out what to eat, now this, ugh. From what I've read, this is a common problem for Celiacs? Does this improve with time/healing? Any diet recommendations to avoid the crash after eating every...

    Thanks for the replies, they are very helpful. I should have been tested for Celiac before going gluten free but didn't know that at the time. At this point, I know I have a problem with gluten as my symptoms have improved a lot since cutting gluten out and I don't plan on ever eating gluten again, but would like to know if I have Celiac. It seems that...

    First off, I apologize for this being lengthy and a bit jumbled. I've struggled with the following symptoms for years and I'm just starting to possibly put the puzzle together, but I'm still not certain that I have Celiac's and I'm not sure exactly where to go from here, so any help would be great! My current symptoms: I ate Chinese food about a week...
