Hi, this illness seems to be going under the radar. I had gastro stomach bug 4 years ago and never been right since. started with ibs, then 16months ago i started to loose weight. Bloating, constipation, tierd and sleeping soon as id eaten...had blood/urnine/ultra sound scans of abdominal ect ect to no avail. then started having endoscopies/colonoscopies and finaly diagnosed coeliac disease. In the mean time whilst all these tests was happening, i was eating little meals and anything from 15mins upto 4 hours i would burp and bring non digested food up. If i drank water, tea, coffee ect the same happens. I have stook to my strict gluten/wheat/barley ect ect coeliac diet and still being sick everyday, 3 or 4 times a day due to trying to get tiny bits of food down me or nutrient drinks. I sleep alot and feel generaly groggy which you would. My blood levels are fine, no problems with iron levels ect so this problem is a real puzzler.. Im 5ft 11 and was 13stone last year, now 9 stone 4 so im very thin and pale, aswel as depressed. being a coeliac is one thing but not being able to eat is another. I would just like to say that blood tests do not show coeliac disease up. I was tested 3 times for the disease and in the end, a biopsy found out i had coeliac so if in doubt, have an endoscopy. Not plesant but very assuring and accurate. If you eat and feel very tierd after aswel as bloating and constipation, i would say defo check it out. As for the being sick daily, its really getting me and my family down. Any help is a great bonus. Im pushing my consultant in 2 weeks time so i will post back with results. Another camera down and vice versa is in order along with berian meal and us abdominal scan. Good look with it all of you. ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **
