Super scary! Its definitely not worth any risk to ever consume gluten if that is going to happen.

Wow, Ive been reading through the forums for info and stumbled upon this. When I began to have celiac symptoms, I had the weirdest black out in the middle of the night along with passing out, anxiety and other odd symptoms- went the ER and blood work indicated a clot. Since that particular time, I could no longer consume gluten, it was like a switch had...

The testing to determine if I have celiac is taking forever. I made the mistake of going off gluten last August, so any bloodwork has been negative but I am positive for the H.L.A. DQ2. The dr wants to do an endoscopy because any damage still may show up. Anyway, I was doing okay avoiding gluten until eating some BBQ from a restaurant. The same day,...

Hello! Its taking me forever to get a real diagnosis on whether I have celiac or non celiac gluten intolerance which is frustrating. I went to a top doctor here in Southern CA but her appointments are very hard to get, no one returns my messages and on my last appointment, she walked in with her keys in her hand, ready to leave quickly. She recommended...

Hello, My doctor ran a genetic blood panel and has been so busy that I can't see her until next week. I received a message today that the results are in and I DO carry the gene for celiac. Knowing that I carry the gene, coupled with the fact I've had all major (and minor) symptoms of celiac including that pesky rash, am I safe to think I probably...

I can relate! Up until last year I could eat gluten with no problem- although looking back, I always did have some bloating and cramping after eating gluten. Hurry to get the bloodwork done so you can be gluten free. I was gluten free (because I felt better) and the bloodwork came back normal. Its a little tricky to diagnose when you have been gluten...

Ooh this is my area! I run a natural beauty blog and will be sure to actively seek out totally gluten free products but I can recommend: Red Apple Lipstick, Josh Rosebrook products, Acure Organics, Lauren Brooke cosmetiques, W3LL People, RMS Beauty, ILIA beauty. You want to seek out PURE ingredients that are recognizable. Try going to Skin Deep, run...

Thank you for all of your help! You are a wealth of knowledge and very valuable to this board!! xo Cindy

Thank you again! I've been gluten-free since late last summer so the blood work didn't show anything alarming. I was getting stomach pains and eliminated various foods that I thought could be causing the problem. When I felt better from not eating gluten, I decided to stay away from gluten for good. The Dr thought the endoscopy might not show much...

Thank you so much! So...if I have all the symptoms of celiac coupled with those genes, does that mean I am likely to have celiac? You guys are a valuable wealth of information, thank you! Grateful, Cindy

Thank you! Its all confusing to me! The doctor is actually very difficult to get an appointment with so Im trying to figure it all out. xo Cindy

Not quite sure how to interpret these results? Any help would be very much appreciated. The doctor wants to see me in her office on Monday so I don't know whether to be worried or not! HLA-DQB1 *02:01 NOT PRESENT HLA-DQB1 *02:02 PRESENT HLA-DQA1 *02:01 PRESENT ...

thank you so much for your reply! I swear my husband thinks Im crazy. Cant wait to prove that Im not! xo

Im waiting to get into the Celiac/Gasto specialist but the waiting is giving me anxiety! Long story short- Ive always had stomach issues. I thought I had IBS because the cramping, bloating and constipation was horrible. Ive also been extremely fatigued and sometimes cant get through the day without laying down. I have Interstitial Cystitis too which...

Oh yes, it says >25 EU/ml positive if that makes a difference!
