Your symptoms sound eerily similar to mine.

I constantly had stomach issues, was persistently fatigued, suffered from cystic acne, and lost quite a bit of my hair before I was first diagnosed at 17.


Your best bet is to have an intestinal biopsy performed, as this produces the most accurate results. If you're not willing to do that, just try sticking to a gluten-free diet if you feel that it helps keep your symptoms under control.

My advice (and this is not medical advice mind you) is to start eating a gluten-free diet. Eat as much probiotic yogurt as your heart desires as it's easy to digest and will help restore the good bacteria that your immune system has attacked if you really are a Celiac. Start loading up on supplements as well... ideally you should see doctor or specialist who can help set you up with a good supplement program.

Took 3 days off work (plus 2 for the weekend), doctor said mild concussion and did not order a CT scan.
Felt symptom free for two days in late January and late February.
Decided to exercise (skating in January, light cycling in February) and symptoms returned with a bang.

March 15 2012: Medically cleared to return to action! Thank you all for your kind words and support. For those still suffering, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive and healthy
