Yep. Severe symptoms started, um, about 3 years ago. Through sheer ineptitude on the part of my doctor(s) it took 4 months to find someone competent who would give me the required blood tests (in the meantime I suffered thru 3 CT scans, an upper GI scan, an ultrasound, and numerous blood tests for everything from H. Pylori to liver cancer). An upper endo confirmed after the endomysial antibody blood test.
My small intestine was dumping so much poorly-digested food into my large intestine that I now have a "sensitive stomach" in addition to having to keep a gluten-free diet. It's mostly under control but when I get stressed out it's a complete nightmare.
