All those symptoms, especially the migraines and tingling in your extremeties. Both are very common symptoms. Many doctors only think of it if you have digestive symptoms, but you're just as likely to have no digestive symptoms at all. The incidence is about 1 in 133, so make sure you rule it out as it is very common and very frequently overlooked.
