[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update:

Doctor actually did three medical tests (Blood counts CBC with auto differential, comprehensive metabolic panel, C-Reactive Protein) -- ALL were 100% normal. (And, as stated before, ultrasound was normal.)

Pain is still bad -- unable to sleep bad but not ER bad.

Belly is now significantly extended -- I look a couple months pregnant.

And I've lost multiple pounds in the past week.

Gallbladder is out -- no jaundice at all.

I have an OB appointment on September 12th.

Meanwhile, I am thinking it is celiac. As I mentioned, my maternal grandmother died of ovarian cancer relatively young (under 50 and before menopause) and I recall being told that it put me at somewhat higher risk for ovarian and colon issues, including celiac.

Just because I am in so much pain and discomfort, I would love to know WHAT to do while I wait to a GI appointment (which I am going to try to make ASAP).  Besides completely eliminating gluten (no, I didn't do the barley water and don't eat that much gluten in general), how do I reduce the pain?

My concern is that I didn't eat one bite of anything that could even contain gluten yesterday. I had oatmeal (organic, steel-cut, high quality brand), celery with hummus and cream cheese, and coffee with nonfat milk, and yet I still was major bloated, crampy, and gassy. Do I need to avoid all dairy and legumes too? What food ideas to people have? I have almost completely lost my appetite anyway but I  need to eat.

Does exercise help? Cardio or strength? Does lemon in water help? I will do anything.[/quote]

Mom is a celiac. Her primary sympton was looking pregnant.[/quote]
