    My test results are back and .... they indicate that I do NOT have Celiac disease! I am thankful for this, especially after reading about how much many of you suffer with it. I do wonder if I may share my test results and some of my vitamin levels to see if you guys have any thoughts. Test results: Gliadin Peptide IGG AB: 2 (ref. range <20) Gliadin...

    Elle1 replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Lacey, how are you feeling today? I agree that you should see the doctor to make sure there isn't something new or more serious going on, but try not to panic. Easier said than done, I know (I have a lot of health anxiety) but I have been researching a lot about nerve tingling in relation to Celiac and it is definitely a symptom that some people have...

    Soooo... I went to my GP this morning and had a really great interaction with her. I came armed with a lot of information about Celiac disease, but I found that I didn't really have to do any convincing to get her to do the initial blood test for it. She just returned from a neurology conference where they talked about causes of neuropathy, and she said she...

    Update: GP wrote back and said she can do a Celiac test without sending me to a gastro, so I'll make an appointment with her. And thanks to you guys, I will print out and take the description of a full panel so I can try to avoid these partial tests I've read about other folks getting. I will update, because I know when I read threads like this I always...

    Thank you, squirmingitch. I'll pass that on to Mom, too. Cristiana, did they ever determine what caused your nerve pain or do you now think it was related to Celiac? That form of shingles sounds awful (well, any form sounds awful - my mom's had it 3 times!) and fortunately I do not think that's what's ailing me.

    Thank you to EVERYONE for the thoughtful and caring responses to my questions. I can't tell you how much it means to me. Bless you for taking the time to help others through their time of fear. As stupid as this sounds, I am actually not terribly worried about a Celiac disease diagnosis. I would be happy to know that I can change my diet and make myself...

    I suspect I am dealing with vitamin deficiency, but I'm afraid that if I go to a specialist they're going to think I have MS. As a person with pretty bad health anxiety, I can't bring myself to make the appointments I know I should make. I presented to my GP about 9 months ago with fatigue and a bizarre tingly feeling in my lower left leg. I was also...

    I was diagnosed with a benign arrhythmia about 10 years ago and the cardiologist couldn't figure out what was causing it. My heart checked out as healthy many times, I just had this irregular heartbeat. I've been on Flecainide for it ever since. Now that I have begun to do more research about gluten problems, I wonder if that was the answer all along. I'm...

    Thank you, cyclinglady. I really appreciate your response. I will try to find a doctor who will do a celiac test on me. I have high health anxiety and find myself spiraling into fear that I have something really bad. Not that celiac is not bad, but I would like to get some kind of answer and start working on a solution. Thanks again.

    I've been having strange health issues for about 8 months, and only after seeing a holistic nutrition expert have I begun to wonder if I have a problem with gluten. Reading studies, articles, and personal accounts has made so many light bulbs go off in my head. I would like to share my situation in the hopes that someone out there can tell me what path I...
