New Member.. Need Help! Health Story --> Am I A Celiac?

Hello everyone!

I

[spunky]

Well I read your story and have to say I'm sorry you've been through so many confusing things without answers!!!

I think most people here could relate!

As far as advice... I don't have much. I am undiagnosed, because doctors just exasperate me with all the round and round useless tests and wrong meds, etc. So I diagnosed myself. All I can say is that in me at least, when i finally tried going 100% gluten free (reading every label of everything, cross-referencing all ingredients with lists I got from here and some other places on the net, and whenever there is any doubt whatsoever, pass on whatever food or ingredient that is), I got better in ways right away, but new food intolerances started and a few strange symptoms began occurring, and so my healing was sort of roller coaster fashion. After a whole year, things began setttling down, things were even better after two full years.

So I think if you can't find a doctor who can help you, being totally gluten free might give you an answer, but it might take a while to see all the results.

Sorry I can't tell you more...maybe some others here can.

I think sometimes if doctors can't give you an answer, trying 100% gluten free is the only way to find out... that and a lot of patience.

Thanks for the input spunky. I also think I might be struggling with some food sensitivities that aren't uncovered.

Also, I forgot to mention that the constipation has lead to hemmrhoids.

I still need everyone's expert advice!
