Got married, had two beautiful healthy children and this past Nov 2014 I stated having IBS symptoms again. During pregnancy and after the first and some of the second I felt awesome. No symptoms. But in Nov I went to the doc, decided it was time for another colonoscopy. Had all the IBS symptoms plus being very anemic. The figured it was celiac disease (nutrients not being absorbed - anemic) turns out that's what it was plus a lovely tumor in my colon. We were shocked!
We figure we got it early considering it wasnt there 6-7 years ago. Funny thing is I went in for a scope and colonoscopy but the week before a blood test was positive for celiac (test done through my GP) My GI said she never got those results till after she did the colonoscopy and if she did receive them before she would have cancelled the colonoscopy since celiac is diagnosed through the stomach (scope). Thank god she did the conlonoscopy bec if she didn't who knows when I would have found the tumor.
Yes, scary! Sad it's usually diagnosed late
