Hi everyone, I’m currently in the process of figuring out if celiac disease might be the cause of some persistent symptoms I’ve been dealing with, and I’d love to hear from others who’ve had similar experiences. I’m not diagnosed yet, but these are the symptoms I’ve been struggling with: Diarrhea Constipation (sometimes alternating between the two) Elevated Liver Enzymes - (dont know why) Visual Snow syndrome (static vision) Sandy stools or really skinny - (sorry for the TMI) Muscle cramps and general soreness Tingling in my hands and feet Bloating that can feel really uncomfortable Tiredness and extreme fatigue SI joint pain and stiffness Herniated disk and degenerative disk disease + stenosis.  Ive been trying to figure out whats causing these symptoms for 8+ years and I believe its caused by Celiac. Ive had a blood test come back negative so my doctor immediatly writes it off now. Ive seen every type of specialist under the sun and no one can help me. Im currently on a gluten-free diet but have recently learned about reactive foods that can cause the same symptoms as well so im consistenly changing my diet to accomidate. Did anyone else have these symptoms before getting a diagnosis?  Thank-you!

I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.
