<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I'm a newbie. My name is Michelle, and I don't know if I have Celiac Disease or not. I suspect that I do, obviously, or I wouldn't be here. I have an appointment with my doctor at the end of January. I've had problems with my digestion as long as I can remember. I started the South Beach diet, and for the first time, I felt great. When I went off the diet, I'm right back to the usual problems. I jsut happened to read of Celiac surfing around on my computer. I've been enjoying reading everyone's posts. I do have a question...I don't have diarreah every day, or even consider it one of my worse symptoms. Mostly I have gas, bloating and stomach pain. I do have diarreah on occasion, and in the past it was a big concern. Is that considered common for Celiac disease? It seems to me that the most common symptom is diarreah. Any way- sorry for the long first post.
