In the words of my doctor I am a medical mystery. 

For over 3 years now I have had a very large swollen stomach to the point were I look 7 months pregnant. This is takings it's toll on my body and is very draining , physically and emotionally.  I have had two colonoscopies, one endoscopy and two laparoscopies, last laparoscopy was two weeks ago. Does anyone know of someone who had the same issue. I am under gynaecology and gastro clinic and I have no idea what is wrong with me.

i have been tested for IBS, Crohns, Celiac, colitis, food allergies and most recently the biopsies I had taken from me during laparoscopy are being tested also for various other things.

    Could you be sensitive to gluten inspite of not being diagnosed as celiac? It might be worth considering an elimination diet with the help of a dietician or nutritionist.

      Yes you do not have be be celiac to be sensitive to gluten. I would actually classify it as a food allergy. Yes get intouch with a nutritionist that would help.
