Suspected stomach ulcer
Havnsumfn replied to KL443's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I wish, my mother, grandmother, nephew, brother and a couple uncles could have had testing. I was confirmed with 2 genes, high risk.

My family members had severe gluten reactions... -
Not, a "fishy body odor". It is referred to as "fetor hepaticus". I have worked in Healthcare, about 29 years. I have worked with countless patients with end stage liver disease, most who died within 6 months to a year of me working with them. They were jaundiced.

Even then, was always told I was "morbidly obese", until...

My chronic, life long asthma, only flares up now with high chenopods, or cross contamination, and even when I get covid 19. I now take a couple probiotic capsules...

I was diagnosed celiac at 45 years old. . I have had severe allergies and asthma my entire life. I was on Advair diskus 250, Singulair, and a xopenex inhaler for bronchospasm. I had reactions to even low pollen days, particulates, cold air, dry air, all year. I wore an N95, anytime working out outdoors. After I started the gluten free diet, it was...
