Thanks very much to all of you who've replied. I was wondering, I had bloodwork done about a month ago to check up on my anemia (I was put on heavy duty iron supplements this summer), and my iron levels have improved, but are still low. Would anything celiac-related have shown up on this kind of blood test, or is the celiac panel completely different...

First, thanks for helping! I've had bowel problems for about three years, but the swelling for only about a year. I should have mentioned that I also have osteoperosis (since I was 19) and anemia (five+ years), and my hands tingle. How do you ask for those tests? Do I need to contact a GI doctor specifically, or can the blood tests be done at my school...

Hello everyone, I'm so terribly desperate--Ii'm a 21 year old college girl and these symptoms are ruining my life. I don't mean to be melodramatic, but please tell me if you've ever had any of these symptoms. My legs swell all the time, every day, this is the WORST of my symptoms, and I mean so swollen that often my pants won't fit. It is SO embarrassing...
