[size="4"][/size] I'm new to this and I don't know where to turn so I found this site. I have been having gastro intestinal problems since November of 07. This came about shortly after I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis. It is an auto immune disease of the thyroid.
Well after going to my Gastro Doc he recommended that I have a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy which I did. No tumors or pollups. There was however, inflammation in the small intestine and colon. They took bi-opsies of small intestine, colon and stomach and showed inflammation. Every time I eat I feel horrible shortly after. Terrible pains in the lower righ quadrant that sometimes radiate around my back where your kidneys are. I also have terrible fatigue and muscle cramps and joint pain.
I went to the doctors yesterday for blood tests for Celiac Sprue but won't know for a few days if that is what it is. I just can't believe that eating gluten can make you feel that awful. I haven't been the same since this all started. I can't work feeling like this. It's almost unbearable at times. Just feels like my guts are rotting from the inside out. I also had a CT Scan of my abdomen and pelvis and they said everything looked fine there.
I'm just asking you guys to see if you think that this could be Celiac's seeing all the tests I have had done and that it is an auto immune disorder just like my thyroid problem.
