    Thanks Ruth, yes I am staying on gluten until I can see who the RA doc's will be sending me to for a second look. I will request the full blood work at that time, I just hope its not months from now that I can get an appt

    Hi, So, my testing is not going well (or going well, depending how you look at it lol). I've had a colonoscpy, endoscopy and celiac blood work (although the GI doc only ran one blood test): ....all negative. I am staying on a gluten diet, despite my symptoms, as my Rheumatologist may want to send me to another GI for a second opinion. Continuing...

    Thanks Nicole! I had my endoscopy this past Thursday, I didn't have it at the same time as the colonoscopy because I had to do a Gluten Challenge. So I did that for 3 weeks and then went in for the endoscopy. The only thing is, at the time when I had the above blood test, I was more or less Gluten free for about 8 weeks (and gluten free with cheat days...

    Hi, I am waiting my endoscopy results but requested the blood test results that was taken when I was in for my colonoscopy. I just received these in the Mail and I have no idea what is means. All is says is: ANTI-TRANS AB results= 1.8 Reference= < 10 U/ml Site= GDL I have no idea what this means and can't find much info via google. Is...

    On week 3 of my gluten challenge. I hate it. Pre challenge I had severe diarrhea, like didn't work for 2 months cause I was so sick and couldn't eat anything. But I was eating a wheat free diet with cheat days. Now during the gluten challenge, I'm constipated....kind of. Some days I don't go at all and other days I go small amounts several times a day....

    Hi All, I am just over one week into my gluten challenge....Gastroscopy is scheduled for June 12th. I think my body is in overload or something. I'm very surprised the Big D has not come back (I went through 8 weeks of the Big D, lost 20-25 lbs, could only eat oatmeal and rice....everything else- even fruits and veggies- kept me in the bathroom ...

    Hi, I also have cold urticaria. I am 33 and currently waiting for a gastroscopy for celiac diagnosis. I started having problems with wheat about 6 years ago. Around the same time I developed cold urticaria. Mine can also be severe 10 degree (50 f) can cause hives, itching, bright red, burning fingers. I can swim in any lakes, or pools, unless they are heated...

    Thanks Ruth! You've given me something to think about for sure!!

    Thanks IrishHeart, my blood work was negative. But I was also relatively gluten free at the time (not fully cause I thought I just had a wheat sensitivity), and just went through 8 weeks for chronic diarrhea (like 15 times a day) and only able to eat rice, boiled chicken, steam veg, and oatmeal. I was on short term disability for 8 weeks....and basically...

    I am in the midst of doing a Gluten Challenge myself, in hopes of getting a proper diagnosis. I am eating one meal a day that contains gluten (equivalent of 1-2 slices of bread), and then I have a Gastroscopy booked for June 12. Unfortunately, its the only way to get a diagnosis. Which I think is important to really understand what is going on with your...

    Hi All, Week one of my gluten challenge and I'm having some symptoms I did not expect. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I wanted to run by the group here: - terrible sleeps. Can't stay asleep, wake up like 4 time night, can't fall back asleep. Hot, tossing turning. - rheumatoid arthritis is flaring, I have been in remission for 2 years, with NO RA symptoms...

    Hi, I know certain types of rashes can be a symptom of celiac. But has anyone experienced Cold Urticaria- allergy to cold temperatures. This problem started for me around the same I started having problems with wheat. I never thought they could be related.

    Thanks nvsmom, I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything!

    Hi, I hope this doesn't seem like a silly question, but I'm waiting to see my GI specialist and I still have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm curious though if one has celiac disease and gluten is consumed do all patients require emergency care or can the symptoms vary? Based on my previous posts and my symptoms I feel pretty confident I am either celiac...

    Thanks again nvsmom! I've also noticed dizziness when going from sitting to standing???

    Hi, is it typical to develop a sudden lactose intolerance with the onset on celiac? I haven't been diagnose with celiac at this point, but since being terribly sick since March I think I've developed a lactose intolerance as well. Anyone experience this as well?
  20. Kelsie
    Thank you! Much appreciated I like the IBS comment, sad but true. I think the doc was more concerned about Crohn's and colitis and not really thinking it was celiac. When he said he would do the Celiac blood test I told him I only eat gluten free pastas and breads, with the occasional cheat meal. And his response was "ya but do you still eat things like...

    Hi, I am new to this forum and I'm hoping to get some help. I've been terribly sick since March, off work because everything I ate went right through me. I was having BM's probably 10-15 times a day and was totally exhausted and lethargic. I've lost 20 lbs since March. And 3 lbs since just last week. I've also had unexplained anemia for 15 years plus. ...
