Anyone here been diagnosed with Celiac disease?

Question

I've had GI issues for years and I'm miserable right now. So sick. Getting tested for celiac and wondering if anyone has it and what symptoms etc lead to your diagnosis?

Answer

I, my mom, and my daughter all have it.  My symptoms were mild (mostly just ibs type issues as well as joint pain) but led to much bigger issues.  Pcos and hypothyroidism.  When I stopped eating gluten, my body totally recovered over the course of a year.  
My daughters symptoms were much more severe.  Constant diarrhea, eczema, anemia, sores around her lips and bottom (she gets dermatitis herpetiformis), her vitamins were at malnourished levels and she wasn’t gaining weight.  From 6 months old to 7 years old she only gained 20 lbs.  Her adenoids were enlarged from the constant immune reaction and her lymph nodes were always swollen.  
My mom just had severe arthritis as well as ibs type issues and eczema.  
If you’re going to get tested, don’t stop eating gluten before that.  If you do, there will be no gluten in your system to show a reaction.  My daughter’s first two tests were negative because they had her off gluten for 2 weeks before doing them so it ended up taking SEVEN years to figure out what was wrong with her.
