The Top Ten Physical Complaints from Celiac Patients

What is "Cryptogenic hypertransaminasemia"? I don't understand what I find on the web. Some kind of liver dysfunction?

WOW! I had major problems with canker sores for 10 years prior to being diagnosed with celiac. As I look back, now for the last 20 years of being gluten free, I have RARELY had a canker sore! I have never heard there was a connection.

I, my daughter and granddaughter have some form of celiac.

Any gluten by accident or choice goes to my joints, especially hips and knees. Add sugar (gmo) and it is early rigor mortis!

This is the best article I have ever read on non-classical celiac disease. Now if only all of the doctors would read it and take heed. I inherited the gene for celiac disease HLA DQ8. I had been eating gluten free for several years when the GI doctor wanted to biopsy. When he did, it came back negative so he concluded I did not have it even though all of my symptoms said I did. He finally did list celiac disease on my diagnosis based on what I told him. The symptoms described in this article are definitely what I have experienced including the anemia beginning at age 4 that did not respond to oral supplementation of iron or diet high in iron and the osteopenia first and then osteoporosis in my later years. Thank you for this fantastic article.

Just adding this to see if anyone else has found this helpful. My daughter was sick passing out for almost two years with stomach pain from celiac. For some reason we don't know why, neither do the doctors but Zophen taken at the beginning of an attack makes the pain

tolerable and shorter duration. Anyone try this?

What exactly is cryptogenic hypertransaminasemia?

I have googled it, and only get medical garbldey gook back, with no idea what it actually is. Mayo Clinic's web site does not recognize this phrase nor the word hypertransaminasemia.

I didn't see joint pain mentioned? I suffered with several of the classic symptoms and had DH. But I also had terrible pain in my hands and feet.... after a year of total gluten free living, the pain was gone. But according to my rheumatologist, pain is common.

It nice to have more info on celiac disease. Sometimes you only get bits and pieces on the disease.

If 52% of people with celiac disease have osteopenia or osteoporosis, I wonder how that compares to the general population?

WOW! I had major problems with canker sores for 10 years prior to being diagnosed with celiac. As I look back, now for the last 20 years of being gluten free, I have RARELY had a canker sore! I have never heard there was a connection.

I still get canker sores from oranges, grapefruit and tomatoes.

Your biopsy was possibly negative because your were eating gluten free for years before the test resulting in a false negative.
