I was also misdiagnosed with many things over the years (spastic colon, IBS, reflux, etc.). I hope that you feel better soon!

My appt went pretty well yesterday. The doc said that I am improving at an expected rate. He also said that he thinks that I might be able to start eating dairy again sometime soon. He said that once the lower part of my intestines are completely healed, he thinks I'll be able to digest dairy. I'm so excited!

The food journal is a grwat idea. I'll start one today.

I'm starting to feel better, and I think I have discovered the source of my exposure. The dentist. I forgot to have them check to make sure that everything they were using was gluten-free. I just never realized how many things gluten could be hidden in! It's so sneaky! After seeing me in pain for the last few days, my parents are beginning to realize how serious this is. Today, both of my parents are going with me to my follow up appointment so that they can get some info straight from the doc.

Hey y'all. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Danielle and I live in CA. I was diagnosed with Celiac in Jan of this year. I am also sensitive to dairy and I'm a vegetarian. I'm having a hard time with everything. Lately I've been really paranoid about food (after being sick for 6-7 years, it's hard). I'm just afraid of most foods because I don't want to get sick. My parents are really trying, but they just don't understand why I won't eat most things (I stilllive at home-I'm only 20yrs old). I will only eat things that I have confirmed as gluten-free and for prepared foods, either I have to make it or I have to see it being made. On Friday, I had my first accidental glutenating since going gluten-free. I don't know how it happened, but now I feel horrible. This has just made me even more paranoid.

I really want to thank everyone on here. I've been reading posts on here since I was diagnosed, and they have all really helped me in coping with this. Reading everything on here has really helped me know that I'm not alone and/or crazy (as I have had many docs tell me). Thanks for everything!
