ARCHIVED Swollen ankles and gluten free diet
Sheena replied to Lisa-987's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was diagnosed with celiac in April. I had tested for celiac before with negative results but tried again because it runs in my family and can come up at any time. One of my major symptoms over the past 10 years was swelling. Not just my ankles but all over my body. Within the first month of quitting I lost over 10lbs from the swelling going down.... -

All my doctor had to do was give me a simple blood test and he would have seen my numbers were through the roof, but instead he diagnosed me with anxiety and ibs and wouldn't hear about anything else even when I told him my sister had celiac. By the time I was diagnosed I...
