    Shelbz- are you getting blood tests? I read recently that if you're gluten free, you need to eat gluten for 3 months for the blood test- so maybe that's why? I've also been getting a pain that I thought could be heart burn. I hadn't had it before so wasn't too sure what it was. I've been describing it as feeling like my insides are corroding! It's worse...

    Roomorganizing Thanks for your input that's really helpful. I think even the medics get overly focused on digestive symptoms being the key features! One of the GPs I saw while trying to get to the bottom of what was wrong with me told me that coeliacs would explain my gastro problems but not all the health related issues I'd had as that seemed to be immune...

    I don't think this process is ever plain sailing! I'm 2 weeks into my 6 week gluten challenge. Like you have had some pretty poor responses from some medics which can be so frustrating. Ultimately, I decided I did want to know for sure if I had celiac or not. I had a few reasons for this and it was just something that I wanted to know so I decided to put...

    Thanks for the replies. Shelbz- it sounds like we're having very similar experiences! You're doing it for 3 months though! Wow! Why so long? I'm doing it 6 weeks and that feels LONG. Poor you! I'm trying to find a way to tolerate my symptoms so I can still do things and go to work but if I eat it in the later part of the day, my sleep is really bad and I...

    well I can safely say I'm no longer feeling fine!! I've had a very different reaction to what expected though. It feels like my digestion is really slowing down and I'm slowly getting some stabbing pains here and there. There has been no bloating though which I am very surprised about. I'd actually say my stomach looks quite flat. I expected my digestive...

    Hi all I'll give a little back ground...Like many people's stories here, I've been having life long issues that peaked last year (I'm 36) with a very painful blister rash on my face and scalp, digestive problems, brain fog...and all the rest of it. After 9 months of it all, a GP asked about celiacs, I'd never heard of it but looked into it, thought it made...

    My lesions are unbelievably itchy! The closest way I can describe the feeling is like there are tiny beasties eating my skin. I just want to claw my skin of sometimes but it's also very painful so I tend to just 'tap' around it which kind helps a bit. I also find washing my face temporarily reduces the itching/tingling. I think I've only coped these past...

    The sores are all around my face so I'm less keen for a biopsy due to potential scaring. But to be honest I doubt I'd get that far going by my doctor appointment this morning. I saw another doctor from last week and the doc today said he doesn't think it's anything like celiacs because it usually affects the skin on the elbows. He said the only skin condition...

    I'm totally new to this forum and the 'world of celiac'. My head is trying to make sense of a lot of things but at the same time, a lot of unexplained things are now beginning to make sense. I haven't been tested yet so I don't want to jump to any conclusions but it really does all seem to fit. I've always had 'stomach issues' but from about 13 years old...
