The symptoms of being Celiac - what are they?

Post Reply New Topic

I ask, because...

1) I know someone who is, and though they are not family, they do know that I'm an Aspie, and they told me some time ago that they believe I might be.
2) I notice some dull aches in my stomach at almost every meal, and I can't change what I eat without medical permission, for I have to eat on an institutional menu. In other words, I eat what they give me or starve. Also, my stools are erratic. I can be constipated one day, runny the next, and sometimes there's blood when I look. The medical people are looking to get me an appointment somewhere with a specialist, but...yeah.

These are the reasons why I ask.

I am currently trying to find information like this for my son too, he's 10. He's also an aspie. He has a lot of similar symptoms but the only restriction is no dairy in his diet. He still has problems, so we have seen a specialist and are in the process of doing labwork to find out. Do go ahead and see the specialist, it is a pain to go through all of the testing, but your symptoms sound pretty serious and you could develop anemia or even worse. You need to take care of you body okidok?

Good luck - Keep us posted
