Question: Hello, a few years ago my mom found out she had celiac's disease and her doc said to have us kids get checked. Well, I did but it came back negative, I think because I had already stopped eating glutens at that point. Anyway, as long as I don't eat glutens, I feel great...no fibro, no IBS, lost weight, no more rashes etc., but now I cannot get full. I always seem to be hungry. I eat well, about 4 to 5 little meals a day or I get hypoglycemic type symptoms. I do eat the Udi's gluten-free bread for filler with at least 1 to 2 of those meals a day. If I have soup, I add rice, etc. I just cannot get full. I've also been experiencing light headedness/white outs, but not true vertigo, nausea and near vomiting but nothing comes up. Anybody have a clue? I don't have insurance so I'm hoping to be able to be helped without having to go in.

Thank you for responding. I get the part about the acid peptic disease but I very rarely take the excedrin. Is the light headedness/whiteouts symptoms of acid peptic disease? I feel like I'm malnourished, shakiness on the inside, and being hungry all the time. I do not have stomach pain...just bouts of hunger all throughout the day, and still feel hungry right after eating. I get plenty of fiber with the GFD...lots of vegy's and fruits...mmmmm, love them, and I do eat the whole grain gluten free bread as well. I eat red meat as well cooked medium to help with the fiber at least once a week. My bowels work fine, and I have not seen any melana or BRB. Like I said, I have a very good diet despite being gluten-free. I do work in the medical field and I know to try antacids, but they have failed me as well. I've been doing the GFD for about 1-1/2 years now. As far as confirming the Dx of CD, I do not have insurance, the blood tests came back negative, so the next step is a colonoscopy and I cannot afford that without insurance so I just stay away from glutens at all costs.

Again, the reason I tried this is because I do not have insurance and do not want to waste time and money to do research to most likely find nothing. It would be worth it, so-to-speak, if something came of it so I can treat or cure, but by the time we figure that out, I would be thousands in debt with medical bills.

Please help...
