Your husbands problem is almost certainly a yeast infection, the gas & distended belly are classic as are the headaches & negative test results. i didn
I am not sure what the exacts of his scope tests were. I know that the Dr. just said that everything was normal except that he had the hernia. I have been reading up on the Celiac disease and a lot of sounds like him, and his dad. His dad died about 7 years ago but he was an alcoholic so all of the Drs. pretty much passed all of his problems toward that. My son was just diagnosed with short stature and considering that Celiac disease is hereditary and this is one of the common symptoms in children I am pretty concerned and eager to get this checked out. Another thing is that he has migraine headaches about 2-3 times per week that do not respond to treament.
Any other ideas if Celiac is not the problem??? We really appreciate all of the help here.
When they did the endoscopy did they check for a gliadin antibody? That would indicate possible Celiac Sprue and/or parasites.
Nanci,
Thank you so much for the input!! We went for more blood work today and will ask the DR. about this when we get the results next week. I am so glad that somebody has responded, we were feeling very frustrated and now I feel things could possibly turn around. By the way how old is your son in law and how long were his symptoms present?

Has he been tested for Celiac Disease. My son in law was finally dianosed a few months ago. His symptoms sounds exactly like those of your husband. It's a hard disease to diagnose and he finally had it confirmed during a biopsy via a scope. His doctor happen to suspect it, that's why he found it.
In essence, my son in law is allergic to gulten based foods. He changed his diet and is now symptom free.
Do a check on Celiac Disease to see if it clicks with what your hubby is dealing wtih.
