Mine is always upper right abdomen

I was the same way with not wanting to feel awful again. My Dr. completely agreed. He saw my liver enzymes go from the mid 200's to 27 in 11 days of gluten free eating. He said that was enough for him to believe it was celiac (after first saying he didn't think it was, before the blood tests came back ) Anyway, in the last two months I've had severe...

I have both celiac and rheumatoid arthritis. There are several things she can use to help (there is no cure) for her RA. I've had to be off my meds for a while now and met with a Master Herbalist. She has me on tumeric extract, ginger extract, fish oil, tart cherry juice, Vitamin D and I take oil of oregano extract for my allergies. These help a great...

I think my biggest struggle will be my husband, he's very much a "a little bit won't hurt you" type of person. I don't think he understands the seriousness of celiac and that a little bit WILL hurt me. So glad to have answers now.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and have to have my blood drawn every six weeks to check for liver toxicity from the drugs. In 8 years they've always come back normal. In December they came back elevated. I stopped meds and mid-January was retested, they more than doubled! I had an ultrasound (normal) and other blood work done (normal). I did some research...

Thank you for this thread. I have the atypical symptoms and also have elevated liver enzymes. I have been thru ultrasound and it came back ok. I see dr again next Thursday and will ask about celiac

*sorry for the extra post. was posting from new phone, didn't realize it sent this one*

I've been having URQ pains for a while now and in December my liver enzymes were elevated and in January they had doubled from December. I've had blood tests for hepatitis and had an ultrasound of the gall bladder, liver, pancreas, stomach, lungs and kidneys. Those all came back ok. I went *back* off gluten on Saturdaythe 19th and I get another round of...

I have elevated liver enzymes too! In December they were 55, 109. Two weeks later they were 96, 232!!! I've had an ultrasound and everything checked out ok and I all my followup blood work was ok (no hepatitis or other things like that). I'm recommitting to gluten free and hopefully by my next check on January 29th, they'll show improvement.

wow, I've been fighting this too and thought it was due to my meds. I've been eating a lot of corn and milk lately. I didn't have a clue that could cause yeast problems! Now, I'll stop those foods as well. Thank you for the link to the diet. I didn't know there was a candida diet. I had a diflucan the other day and still feel awful!

I'm overweight and suffer from constipation as well. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and I'm stunned to find out there is such a strong link between celiac and RA! I'm so glad to have "refound" this group after being away from the boards for so long.

What a busy summer! I've done very well at staying wheat free. I haven't lost much weight, which is disappointing, but I do feel pretty good. I now carry an epi-pen in case I get into any wheat. I'm looking for some good pumpkin pie recipes, pumpkin cheesecake, blueberry pie, etc. I have found some but they aren't all that good. I'd also like a good...

Hi, I don't have a specific plan but I can tell you that for a year or so, I saw a dietician who put me on a 1200 calorie and I felt fantastic. She stressed vegetables, fruits and lean proteins. She was, however, realistic that somedays you don't want to see a leaf of lettuce or another chicken breast and all you want is chocolate. She supported that...

I'm really glad to read this thread! I blood-tested negative for celiac, most of my family is positive, but I have a true wheat allergy..as in my throat and bronchial tubes start swelling shut if I even get a bite of cross-contamination! Before my allergy became so life-threatening, I struggled with this so much but now, it's more of a life and death...
