ARCHIVED Negative Bloodtest..now What?
jodster replied to jodster's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you for your responses. I am not on the gluten free diet as of now. I was Dx'd at 1 just based on symptoms from my ped who has celiac himself. Then at 7, another doctor said to go off the diet, he didnt think I had it. At 21 I became quite ill(gastro related) and was hospitalized for 2 weks. My mother mentioned teh past celiac DX to the attending gastro... -
Hello and thank you in advance for any advice and opinions. I wrote last month about my situation.

ARCHIVED Hello I Am New Here

Thank you so much for your replies. I really appreciate them. So you have had symptoms similar to mine. That is somewhat reassuring. I kind of figure that if I have been eating gluten all these years(I'm 33) and I am celiac there is probably the possibility that I could have caused some nerve damage amoung other things. I really don't want MS(who would ... -

Hello, I am a 33 year old woman who has been experiencing MS like symptoms for about 3 years. I have had 2 c-sections in the past 3 years, as well as prior colonoscopies, a tubal ligation, hernia surgery, and a bunch of bladder surgeries as a small child. During both pregnancies I suffered life threatening bleeds from what they think was the spenopalatine...
