I have two of the symptoms of celiac disease. I am a junk food junky. Weight loss is not one of my symptoms. I will pass on any celiac test. I am 55 years old. I refuse to follow a gluten-free diet. Published: September 05 ::

Comment from: Stuffed UP, 65-74 Female (Patient)

I have not been diagnosed but have allergic responses when I consume wheat or foods containing gluten. My nasal passages swell as well as my wind pipe making it almost impossible to breathe. I also get dizzy, have poor balance, muscle weakness and leg cramps. I also feel bloated in my stomach often after eating even when I carefully avoid gluten. I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine but often have to remove the mask due to my nasal passages swelling making it very difficult to breathe. I lack energy and my memory has been affected. I have had this problem for many years and I am now 70. Published: August 14 ::

Comment from: Em, 25-34 Female (Patient)

I visited the doctor because I was simply feeling very tired all the time. I was very shocked to discover that I had celiac disease, as I had no other symptoms. Published: August 05 ::

My symptoms were severe pain or sensitivity in my stomach and uncomfortable gas and loose stools. I was also tired all the time. Published: July 01 ::
