    Pancreas. It can cause ALL those symptoms. Especially the itching..which gallbladder does not. Other tests u can get are an MRI, or CT scan. Theres even a more specific test where they inject dye and can look for blockages in the bile ducts...i forget what its called. But u should definitely pursue it. Drs will send u home if you aren't deathly ill...

    My Gerd symptoms..completely gone..and no more meds! My fingernails growing faster and the nailbeds actually have a nice pink healthy look to them...never did before. Ezcema gone. normal bm's for the first time in years . I can actually go out of the house without worrying if theres a bathroom nearby!

    Isnt this interesting. I was going to post about this but figured it was just me. Ive always had a problem with dehydration also. Cant tell u how many times I had to go to the hospital when I was pregnant because of dehydration-which would induce contractions. Still, no matter how much i drink (and i really hate water..but force myself).., I still tend...

    Polenta is a great way to use cornmeal and can be served in many different ways. Its basically cornmeal mush. When i was a child we would eat it instead of pasta...with sauce and parmesan cheese on top. Delicious! You can also pour the leftovers into a baking dish let it harden , cut into slices and pan fry..and make another meal out of it the next day...

    I have 3 hernated disks in my neck (c4-c6) so Im no stranger to neck pain...but yours sounds like something different. If you have thyroid issues it could be a goiter..but I havent read it causes pain.. Open Original Shared Link theres also thryoid nodules or thyroiditis...either way..ask your dr to be sure if it doesnt go away. Also, when i first found...

    I'm very fair and Ive always had a yellow tinge to my skin. Im Italian..i didnt get that Olive complexion either. But also, my liver enzyme tests have been high for the past two years (pre-diagnosis..im hoping after being gluten-free for awhile they will normalize). No hepatitis or cirrhosis..just unexplained high levels. Anyways, about the skin thing....

    I am B+. The most common blood type is O, followed by A, B then AB. Positive being more common than Neg. So if most celiacs are O, its probably only because O is the most common blood type.

    Hi Ursula, I dont know about Enterolab...but about the blood tests...mine came back negative also..but my biopsy was positive. I think its 20% of us test negative from the blood work. So tell her it still doesnt rule out Celiac!

    You should get tested then go on a strict gluten-free diet...dont bother to wait for results. And yes, its perfectly safe during pregnancy...but consult a nutritionist if you need to..to make sure you are getting the proper nutrients. Ive been overweight all my life and have always had symptoms....drs didnt want to test me..you have to insist on it sometimes...
  13. indyceliac
    it is absolutely possible! I am another example.
  14. indyceliac
    MY GI had refused to test me also, because I was overweight....so eventually i found another GI and insisted on getting tested -they had to do another endoscopy anyway..it came back positive and validated everything I had suspected. I think its preferable to have a positive diagnosis, IF you can get it....just for your own mental sake...but not necessary...

    thank you all for your replies. Im probably allergic to nickel too. Ive basically given up wearing jewelry <sniff sniff> unless its for a short period of time. Im sure my husband is happy..he now doesnt have to spend as much for bday or xmas presents.

    I used to get tingly feeling in my arms and legs...and then i started taking sublingual b-12 pills and it went away the next day. But also, anxiety can definitely cause what you are describing. Try not to worry over every symptom and being overly aware of what your body is feeling....it just makes it worse.

    my bp actually went up at first also...but i think it was because I was eating a lot of processed gluten-free foods and sugary/salty crap to make up for feeling deprived. But I got over that...more fresh fruits and veggies and lean meats...bp back down.

    My stomach always hurt pre-diagnosis....for weeks or even months at a time..then would away.

    What is your diet like now? I would stick to a very bland limited diet. Have you had an xray of the small intestine to make sure there isnt blockage or inflammation which is causing the symptoms of gastroparesis. Having constant nausea is horrible...I hope u find a treatment that works soon! Good luck.

    Does anyone else have very sensitive skin? I find that I cant wear earrings, both my ears are pierced but hurt within 15 minutes of any earrings..even the sensitive skin type/gold/silver/etc A necklace I wore yesterday gave me a itchy rash (benadryl helps)... Even my wedding ring has now given me a reaction (its white gold) so i stopped wearing it. Also...

    My blood tests were negative....but the intestinal biopsy was positive. My kids do better gluten free so they will stay that way..regardless of any tests. Follow your insticts. Remember doctors are only "practicing medicine".

    hypothyroid here too..took going to the endocrinologist to get a correct diagnosis. GPs are useless. I take synthroid.
