About this blog

I was diagnosed with celiac 2 months ago, so this is all new to me. My GI doctor put me on a steroid (Budesonide) to help “jump start” the healing process. In the meantime my GYN drew lab and my ferritin level is 5!  The GYN said to start an iron supplement, but when I told the GI doctor about my ferritin level he just dismissed it and said to just give the steroid time. So I don’t know if I should start the iron regardless of what the GI doctor said?  I feel extremely fatigued, losing hair etc. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless Leg Syndrome

I’ve had restless legs for years but the last several months they have been a lot worse in the evening despite prescription medication. Is there a relationship between RLS and Celiac?  Any suggestions would be appreciated before they drive me crazy. Lol

Delaminated Gliadin IGG positive

Deamidated Gliadin IGG elevated

I had a positive biopsy 6 months ago and I have been gluten free since then. My doctor just checked my deamidated Gliadin IGA and IGG for the first time to see how my body is responding to the diet (still having GI issues). My IGA was 1.0 (normal <15) but my IGG was 18.1 (normal <15).  With one value on the low end and one elevated does this mean I am still getting gluten? Unfortunately he didn’t do these tests when diagnosed by biopsy  so I don’t know what my values were at that time
