Hi Clelia,
I suffer anemia and my
>ferrotin level is also very, very low; doctor's can't understand why.
These are two symptoms of celiac disease.

Once you are on the paleodiet for a while everything will self-regulate. My
period is about 4-5 days max since going paleo and less painful; less
emotional.
> I was also told
>that I am a celiac, with IBS now I wonder if their diagnose is correct
The anemia and low ferrotin levels are indicative of a correct diagnosis.
Celiac IS Irritable Bowel Syndrome but with a gluten free solution.

Gluten causes this. Please go to www.celiac.com to read about absorption.
>Has anyone on this list had/have this problem?
yes. hidden gluten is everywhere. Eat a la Neanderthin watching for grains
in meat and eggs.

how long have you been paleo?

I have added problems using supplements.

this would add problems too

Besides X rays, laboratory tests of all persuasions are subject to the
grossest sort of error. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in
Atlanta, Georgia, studied a representative sampling of laboratories all
over the US and found that about a quarter of all tests had incorrect
results. - from What Your Doctors Don't Tell You by Lynne McTaggart
I have had muchos problemas with hidden gluten. If you tell me what you
eat, maybe I can find some gluten in your diet?
All the best,
Susan
