Hey meaghan2, welcome to the forums! https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/112131-possible-celiac-diagnosis/ ^ Above is a link to a thread I made awhile ago detailing my story. If I were you, I would definitely look into getting some Celiac blood screening done. Some of my symptoms were similar, except I was always constipated and bloated as opposed to having...

Thank you so much nvsmom - it is a journey that I am ready to accept I have done so much research these past weeks, and I am glad there are so much resources available on the web, such as blogs and forums like these. I hope this thread will serve as a tool to others that share similar symptoms, to urge them to get tested. I have already started the diet...

Just got my re-test results in today: Gluten Sensitivity Panel Endomysial Ab IgA - Positive (1:10) Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody t Transglutaminase Ab IgA 22.5* 0-14.9 U/ml I suppose these tests speak for themselves... the doctor is sending word to the GI specialist to perform a colonoscopy and endoscopic biopsy. Its going to be an...

Thanks guys! Tomorrow I will call to see if my retest results are back from the lab - I am curious to see what those are.

Proved to be an amazing read - bookmarked for future reference. Really like the comparison of Celaics living on a diet akin to that of 10,000 years ago - speaks volumes.

Hey guys, update regarding my visit to the new clinic on Friday. After finally meeting with the nurse practitioner and telling her my story and test results, she was reluctant on giving me the additional Celiac panel tests. She explained that the ttg test is conclusive/accurate enough. I asked about the whole "borderline" diagnosis, which she says can be...

Your list of symptoms that are effecting your husbund are like mirror images of mine, and I have tested positive or "borderline" for celiac disease in just one test. I too used to take Zantac thinking it was reflex. I am going to get the complete Celiac panel done - get those blood tests done asap.

Today I will be making an appointment for the complete Celiac panel cyclinglady mentioned above asap, printing it out and bringing it with me into the clinic for accurate reference. I have not eliminated gluten from my diet in the past months, as I must admit this has taken me a little by surprise so I should be good. Thank you for your input guys, I feel...

Thank you for your response and welcome cyclinglady! I must admit I find the whole "borderline" diagnosis clunky, but I suppose he wants to make double sure. I think I will take your advise and try to take the complete celiac panel but at another clinic. The specialist I have been arranged to meet is a GI, but not until October which worries me as I don't...

21 year old male, healthy as a bird untill about three - four months ago, which from the current day of writing has been a roller coaster of mystery diagnosis. I started to develop very sharp, uncomfortable abdominal pain and bloating that was followed by sever fatigue, chills and bad constipation. It got so bad to a point that the pain and bloating were...
