Well, Could It Be Celiac?

Had a busy day today. First had recreational therapy. Then saw a speech and language therapist for an issue which I have with eaating. She noticed hardly any problems when observing me during meal time, but did say I have slight oromotor issues. We're going to see whether it helps if I sit alone or on a separate table - my fellow patients are

I was tested for Celiac and Cushings recently--both of which I do not have. I'm thankful, though, because I could not live without gluten. I mean, I just love pizza and pie too much.

Did they not do a fibromyalgia tender points test on you? While they have to rule out everything else before a fibro. diagnosis, it sounds like you've been through a lot of testing already, so I'm surprised a lot has been overlooked where fibro. is concerned. It is one of the several autoimmune diseases I deal with, and the all-over pain is a big red flag.

Whatever the cause of it all, I am very sorry you're dealing with it.

Thanks for your comment. They did not do that fibro test. In fact, I've not had any tests relevant for my all over pain. Oh well, that is, I think they tested my thyroid about a year ago, but not sure. The thing I got lots of tests for is my fatigue, which I hope will resolve with B12 shots. I heard IBS is part of fibro too, right? Now of course eveyrthing else, including Celiac, has to be ruled out before they diagnose that, but just in case.

IBS can be a part of fibro., but so can Crohn's. Usually it is IBS though.
