    I am wondering is anyone of you notice a relation between lung and GI issues. I tend to alternate. After a recent bout of flu/bronchitis/pneumonia (with a bit of Asthma on the side) but no GI issues, i finally got all that better, and GI issues returned. Are these different ways to manifest the illness? I am very curious about how these things relate, as...

    I've always been told that my low cholesterol (under 130 when 160 is normal) is great. "You'll live forever!" I have heard from more than one doc also heard: "you have the blood work of an 19 year old athlete" and "I've never seen cholesterol this low!" I used to be proud, but now I am suspicious.....thanks for this forum....

    Wow I never heard of this connection! I have terrible light sensitivity: I am always wearing sunglasses, and I can't watch TC and can only barely tolerate working on the computer (which I need to do for my job). Is there any research on this ? I am so curious about it.

    I thought I would report back in. I am in the last week of my gluten challenge, and I haven't been having horrible GI symptoms, though I certainly would prefer not to have farting and loose stools.Before the gluten challenge I had been having bad respiratory/immune issues (bronchitis, colds and flu) and during the challenge I got so sick with fever and cough...

    Thanks Nicole, That is all helpful. My thyroid is monitored regularly and is sometimes a bit low but ok I think. I was feeling well enough on the challenge, but today I've been feeling horrible. I have terrible sinus pain and cough as well as bad abdomen pain--actually my whole body is in pain! I used to have such symptoms all the time but since begin gluten...

    Thanks for your response! Believe me I thought the gluten challenge was ridiculous, but with all the attention on gluten now doctors never believe you unless you have a biopsy. I tried to get my old tests but all the records have been destroyed. I have had the ATTG serum test and it came back on the high end of norm (I think it was 7 where 1-7 is normal and...

    I was diagnosed at about the same age, and I had 20 years of great health! (I am now dealing with some issues that may or may not be celiac-related). After years of being sickly, I felt it was a whole new lease on life. Moreover, while all my friends were bemoaning getting older, I felt like I was just feeling better all the time. My 30's and 40's were much...

    Oh I think you should find another doctor! I have always wondered if my celiac diagnosis (no biopsy yet but gluten-free for 20 years until last month) was not valid because I am not thin (I weigh 125 lbs and eat like a stray dog). My point is that most of us have been told or have come to believe that we are not legitimately sick (whatever that means) when...

    I just want to stress that this is NOT in your head. See this recent study: Open Original Shared Link It shows that Celiacs and NCGS have similar somatization levels as controls. That means it is not in your head, and likely even if it's something other than celiac or NCGS it is still not in your head. "In your head" is what they say and/or we think...

    HI All, I am undergoing a gluten challenge and wondering if anyone has any advice. I don’t have a specific question but I’ve been impressed by the group’s knowledge and generosity, so I figured I would put my situation out there and see what happens. Some background: My mother says I was horribly ill and underweight as a baby (when I was 18 months the p...
