My GI gave me the same advice       04/01/05 01:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois I also had a normal Endoscopy, but postive antibodies on two tests. He told me people get this all the time and that I should continue to eat wheat products freely without worrying. Then I went to a "specialist" in celiac disease, and she told me the same thing. Another GI doc told me I could try eating GF to see if it helped. I have not eaten gluten now for 17 months. Now I must say, I still have all my symptoms: severe pain, gas, bloating, cramps, and constipation. Before I was GF I had all of these except I had diarrhea instead of constipation! I will continue to eat GF though, because of people like Kandee who believes that my positive antibodies are probably telling me something. I guess all the symptoms are due to IBS. But it is very depressing that none of my symptoms have became less painful or less severe while on this restrictive and expensive GF diet. I was really disappointed. But I think you should try the GF diet. Others have been helped by it. My positive antibodies scare me into eating GF even though I am still very symptomatic. I know this is what Kandee would suggest you do, because that is the advice she gave to me. As well as Ruchie! -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!
