Hi,
I posted a question about 2 months ago questioning my diagnosis. I continued
to eat GF and went to a different digestive health Dr. He did the blood tests
for Celicac (which my other Gastro di dnot do) and advised that I continue
eating GF to be safe. Well I pretty much figured out I had Celiac, but I wanted
to go to a more credible Dr. and get the tests. Every single one of my blood
tests came back positive.
Here is the problem:
I have really paid attention to cross contamination to avoid digesting some
gluten. But I am still gaining weight----a lot!!! I gained 2 pounds within 2
weeks when I went back to the Dr. And I just gained 3 more! On top of the 10-15
that I gained since Jan. with my initial diagnosis.
Please--what can I do about the bloating? Does anyone know of any medicines
to take that are GF? I am so bloated I can't get my rings on and off. I was
under 130 pounds, size 3, now I hover around 145!!!
Also, my reactions tend to be bloated and constipated--my Dr. was convinced I
would only get diarrhea. So, is there anything I can take for the
constipation? I only drink water and plenty glasses too.
Again, I appreciate the help! I have been in pain, bloated and gassy since
Monday and it's gotten worse.
Thank you,
Brooke in FL
