hi people, help me solve this riddle? i have ended up with pain all under my belly button and it’s because my sister cooked curry the other day for dinner! i went to see my doctor because the pain was awful. the doctor told me something interesting though, my notes say i still have i.b.s but the hospital say coeliac disease. what on earth? i thought you couldn’t have both, or can you? please help, my doctors have mucked and messed me around something chronic, will i ever get the truth?
hello Sam…yes you can have both or even Gluten intolerance as I do. Many people with ibs have one or the other.
They can’t say you have celiacs disease unless they test you for it. But yes,you can have both.. bet i miss spelled celiacs.
It is possible to have both celiac and IBS.
thanks to the kind people who have responded, a colonoscopy and biopsies have confirmed coeliac disease alright. i didn’t know you could have both. i will be speaking to my doctor on friday and dietitian next week. i just want to know what i can and can’t eat. i am bored of food! my diet is bland boring and rubbish!
