I finished all my treatment in November of 2010 and I have been having ongoing diestion problems similar to gluten intolerance.. I have had a blood test showing that it is unlikely that I have gluten intolerance so now I am at a loss as to why I continue to get stomach cramps and diorea and constipation after I eat gluten and fatty oily foods... I can't seem to pinpoint particular foods that set me off. Does anyone else have this same problem???
What a lovely profile pic. I have suffered tummy problems since puberty. I am now nearly 55 so it is a lifetime. I had all the tests a long time ago and it showed IBS. However if I eliminate gluten and lactose from my diet I have a much better quality of life. It makes for an interesting diet and is really hard when I am away from home. My two daughters also suffer from the same complaint. One daughter has been diagnosed with Coelic disease so it is highly likely that I am as well (but it has never shown up on tests). I can't blame the treatment but chemo does some funny things to our bodies. When you next visit your GP it might be worth asking to have some tests done. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful to your case. XLeonie
