As the medical community begins to become more knowledgeable on the
presentations of Celiac disease, I am curious what all of you out there
expierence??

My DX is still out. I think my GF diet messed up the blood tests, and
perhaps the biopsy. My Anti-Gliadin IgA was positive, all others neg.
The biopsy was also neg.

Response to a GF diet has been nothing less than a miracle!!!


Here are my symptoms:

A "typical" recation for me starts about 1.5 hrs after ingesting "bad"
food. It starts with nausea and stomach discomfort. Belching begins at
the same time, very rancid. About 5-6 hours later, vomiting begins.
The vomiting spell lasts about 3-4 hours. the following few days I have
fatigue, lack of appetite (more of a feeling of fullness, as if my
system is all gummed up).

Milk products seem to present with the same symptoms, but I think that
my tolerance for Dairy is getting better the longer I am
GF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though it is now clearing up (Thank God), I've had a polyarthiritic
condition that was quite debilitating, lower back, neck, shoulders,
hands, elbows, knees, feet, toes, fingers, just about everywhere. Got
so bad I couldn't walk, couldn't use my hands at times, etc.

Had Fibromylgia which is also clearing up now!!!!

Before I went GF / DF I also had diarreah went I had vomiting, as well
as SEVERE abominal pain during the full episode. However since I have
been GF, and after other episodes DF, these have not been present.


I suppose this topic could get a bit gross, but what are your symptoms
like????

That's one small step for a man, and a thousand huge ones for a
millipede.

My symptoms: A sick feeling hard to explain. Some sort of flu or maybe
poison.
AWFUL. A sick feeing like you must go to bed and tomorrow you'll feel
better. Except tomorrow you don't. I can actually wonder if I might
possibly die, but when I'm that ill I feel no panic 'cause I'm too ill
to care! Bowels are a disaster most the time. Can't travel far from a
restroom. Even pee pee pee often. My poor bodies effort to rid itself of
the offending thing I guess. However, this is the tricky part. I'm not
positive the offender is gluten. I have had two sm. bowel biopsys and I
have no little cilli? so it came back Sprue/Celiac. However, I as not
convinced of it. I insisted on a sonogram of whole stomach area and lo
and behold a large fluid/puss abcess or cyst was found in my liver. I
had it drained under a ct scan guided needle (painless, no big deal) and
even as I walked out of the building I felt better!!!!!
There was never a diagnoses on the pus because they lost it! I swear to
you, they LOST it. The cyst came back since then, split in two and the
second half spread all over the place in the liver. Jeeeeeeez. I don't
want you to start crying, LOL, but you asked how we each feel. I have
joint, muscle pain sometimes to the point I hobble. However, the next
day it may be the other foot, hip whatever that's in pain. It's a crazy
sickness alright. Some days I dryheave and cannot eat, only to feel
better and hour later. Or the next day. I have tried glutten free but it
didn't seem to help after a month and I couldn't do it anymore.
Oh, I also get headaches that I know are related due to that same sick
feeling.
I have read that Sprue and celiac are almost the same disease. However,
Sprue has no known cause but probebly "germs". Withouy my INSTANCE on a
abdominal sonogram the liver cyst would have never been found. I'm
basically in wait and see mode because I'm tired and also going through
an exceptional sick stage. Thank you for "listening". Can anyone else
please be as frank. DeDe
