Hi. My blood test showed I may have Celiacs (referred for biopsy) and I seem
to have several symptoms.  I 'self-diagnosed' my problems as Irritable Bowel
before asking for Celiac test.  One problem which led me to investigate is
an uncomfortable and seemingly unreasonable weight gain. Although not
excessive, I am incredibly uncomfortable especially around the stomach area.
I've never been a slim person but I don't understand why nothing seems to
help me get rid of this uncomfortable weight, despite my increased exercise
and 'healthy' eating habits. Has any other 'Celiacs' come across this, or is
it too early for me to be accepting I have CD? The weight gain doesn't seem
to come up as a common symptom that's all. I hope I am not a nuisance to you
all!!

Thank you. Vicki.
