Celiac Disease
Posted: 07-30-07 04:27am

Hi. I have itchy skin rash, seizures, muscle cramps, I've lost some weight lately, I have constant diarrhea ... Does this look like celiac disease ? I think it is. My mom has it and she has the same symptoms. What do u think?

I can't say with any certainty that what you describe is Celiac disease. However, the fact that you have afirst degree relative who has it, greatly increases your chances of having it as well. Preliminary testing is simple and relatively inexpensive. Perhaps you could speak with your doctor about the possibility and your symptoms?

It sounds like there are a few posibilities, I have celiac deseas and I have had many things like this, there is a $300 dollar test that can be done to know for sure, but It also seem like you have alot of the symptoms of lupus. It doesnt sound exactly like chrones desease but you do seem to have a few symptoms. those are my three guesses, I cant think of anything else that has that exact cluster of symptoms.... Also if the rash is a butterfly rash or one that is on your face that along with the seizures is a big indication of lupus, so I would ask your doctor about those.
