<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> hi, another new kid on the block. a few years back, i was on the yeast/candida list. after reading the candida syndrome & going on a cave man diet for months. i was convinced that was the answer to my prayers. but now i'm here. it took a long time to realize it wasnt the sugar but the gluten. for most of 1997 i was pretty much gluten free (except for my monthly pizza) until christmas! when i said to heck with this. (for two weeks) by new years i was convinced i would never do that again! my problem is i feel i need that diagnosis also. for many of the same mentioned reasons. i also have 3 children. am short on time & would like to see a dietician. mother died of cancer at age 43. (not sure what kind, tumors) mothers mother also died of cancer age 61 (lung) i went to a new gastro, name given by a celiac found on the net. he wants to do a biopsy next week. endoscopy. please let me know your views. i have started a challenge, but what i have read lately, this is not enough time. also, so many of you have diarhea, whereas my main symptom is constipation. i get locked up. totally. also anemic, lifelong with a diagnosis of heavy menses. any views will be appreciated. tia, jeanne in ohio.
