Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 I have been telling her that this sounds like her, since I've learned a little about it. But this intestinal lymphoma- does this produce tumors in the intestines? My grandmother had tumors in her intestines, but because of her condition (they had caused bleeding, and she was weakened) nothing was done to investigate or get rid of them. She had also had diarrhea and bloating all her life, as well as my aunt. I will push my mother harder. She knows she can't eat much wheat before it causes stomach upset, and she did tell me she'll watch eating wheat more since I expressed my concern. I'm beginning to think my family is rampant with celiac, or some sort of gut issues!
