Untested Severe Symtoms

I am 27 and up till mid 2007 I was actually really healthy, this is when everything went wrong all the sudden 1 day had severe diarrhea, and milk seemed to really make the diarrhea worse.. so basically i went from almost never using the toilet at work for years to having diarrhea after every meal :(... I also began to get hot pretty easy and i remember in the summer i actually turned the AC on colder temp against my bosses word... During these days at work i was eating wheat bread at subway bout everyday with cheese, which i soon cut out the cheese, cause my reaction to milk from mc d's in morns... I ended up quitting in Jan 2008 and ive been droppin weight slowly since, with a high heart rate...

For awhile i thought the diarrhea was a lactose prob or stress, so i cut out cheese since then but been eating everything else and also smoking weed from my chronic pain i have (for a birth bone deformity). I recently quit any type of drug in order to take my online poker to the next level since its the only way ive been makin money lately, and Ive really noticed i have a severe problem and im sure which has been part of the reason i ended up in ER panicking.. The third time in the ER 1 doc actually gave me alot more time as far as talking to me i think he actually wanted to truly help me as the others were only worried about my possibly dieing at the moment, and sent me out, he mentioned he next time you see your doctor have him test you for "CELIAC DISEASE",

Since then i have been on trader joes diet gluten free for about 7 days now, and I have no blood test for celiac.. But my stools seem to be little nicer then I have seen in like 4 years, but i still been consuming lactaid milk and some think thin bars that contain soy and milk and i get gas from them, so i guess my next step is removing all dairy?

      Hi, I'm very frustrated with my problems related to the above.  I find Gluten to be easier than fructose, at times even lactose b/c I love cheese.  I do buy lactose free dairy products but still have problems.  Have recently been adding more bread to bulk up my stools.  Any suggestions for products that might help? Thx. AP

      Welcome to the forum, your symptoms are certainly consistent with possible celiac disease. Were you eating lots of gluten daily in the 6-8 weeks before the test? If not it could lead to false negative results. When you post your results please also include the reference ranges, as each lab uses their own. Good luck!

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      It's difficult to say exactly why, but it is worth discussing this with your doctor, as it can by a symptom of other things--especially if you're also losing weight.
