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.
