<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Ok, I'm wondering if anyone else is like me... Just over a year and half my doctors told me I have celiac disease. What's strange is I never had (I think) any of the symptoms with celiac. Heres my story. I went on a trip with my girlfriend to Califorina and after we got I started having really bad diarrhea and just feeling sick all of the time.. So, I went to some doctors they took some stool samples thought I might have some kind of virus but nothing every came up.. So after going to this doctor for awhile and having him tell me I have IBS I got fed up and just picked a internist, went to him we talked and he told me about celaic disease and he wanted me to have a blood test to check how something are (i don't know what test it was).. But when the results of the test came back i guess they were really high and that pretty much proved that I had celiac.. He wanted me to go to a gastro doctor, so I went to him they knocked me out put the camera down in me looked around took samples all that fun stuff..After all that fun stuff was done when I went back to see the gasto doctor they told me the villi were damaged and asked me to stay off gluten and see how I was doing. Ok, so I've been doing all of that and it seems to be getting a little better, so I went back to the doctors every month to talk about how I'm doing.. i told them I'm still having diarrhea and cramp around the belly button area. So we took another blood test and i guess it was back to normal, went back to the gastro, they looked in through the mouth took samples, went in rectal (glad I was knocked out!) and look at the colon and all that fun stuff and took a bunch of samples all over and they tell me everything looks fine!!! So, this really sucks.. I wake up each morning, I've always pains in the area 2-4 Inches below the belly button, and the stool usually comes out really pale brown and REALLY goopy and feels really acidity, you woudn't belive how much TP I go through. I've been %100 on the gluten-free diet. So last time i went to my doctor he gave me Lomotil and told me to try taking that 2 times a day for a month.. I did that and it seemed to help but I still am always gassy and pains down there.... I don't know what to do, i went back to the doctor he told me to try taking it 3 times a day, and no more than that... I don't want to take these pills 3 times a day.. What I've read you really not supposed to take more that 2 a day!! And he told me that he didn't know what it could be, and I asked him if there were anymore test we could run through, he said no.. He told me he doesn't think it IBS, Chrons, anything like that.. But he didn't know!!!?! Anyone else like this??? I don't want to live my life like this, this really suck.. I hate going places and all of a sudden I just get like a churing in my belly button area and it feels like my guts are going to come out.. I'm lost... Dan [log in to unmask]
