Thanks. I never would have dreamed this would take so much research! -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them. -

Fibrin glue
Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten? I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer. Thanks, Tammie -

https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event.

@knitty kitty Hi there, All my other bloods were within normal limits, though my iron has always been just a couple from being below range. Physio thought I had Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she sent a letter to my doctor but doctor said i don't have it. I've only had stomach issues for 1.5 years. About 4 years ago I lost a tonne of weight (I did...

Nutritional deficiencies caused by undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease can cause symptoms like you describe. Malabsorption of nutrients is caused by damage to the intestinal lining which makes absorbing essential nutrients difficult. We need to absorb sufficient vitamins and minerals from our diet everyday to make sure our body functions properly. Different vitamins and minerals can be stored for different amounts of time, but usually one of the first to become insufficient is Thiamin Vitamin B 1. Every cell in our bodies uses Thiamin as an energy source to do cell functions, especially the brain. Our brain just sitting and thinking uses as much thiamine as muscles do running a marathon. Emotional trauma and physical trauma can each precipitate thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders can manifest as sudden weight loss (without trying to lose weight), OR sudden weight gain. Pins and needles (paresthesia, neuropathy), muscle aches and cramps, forgetfulness and brain fog, insomnia, frequent urination, constipation and/or diarrhea, and abdominal pain are all symptoms of deficiencies in Thiamine and other B vitamins. Gastrointestinal BeriBeri is caused by Thiamin deficiency with the symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain. Doctors are not well educated in nutritional deficiencies, so deficiency symptoms are often brushed aside and ignored or attributed to other things. Blood tests are not accurate measures of thiamine or other B vitamin deficiencies. The best way to determine a thiamine deficiency is to take thiamine and look for improvement of symptoms. Symptoms should improve within hours or days. Doctors can administer thiamine intravenously for faster results, but over-the-counter Benfothiamine (an active form of thiamine) works just as well. Thiamine is not harmful to be administered because thiamin is water soluble, meaning excess is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is nontoxic even in high doses. Thiamine helps with PTSD and C-PTSD. PTSD happens after one traumatic event or series of events. C-PTSD happens after being chronically traumatized, day after day, frequently starting in childhood. An example of Chronic PTSD would be a child being told their stomach aches were faked to get out of going to school because the child was really just lazy, when in reality the child has undiagnosed active Celiac Disease and diverticulitis. My blog on this site has more information on my journey and thiamine deficiency. Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about correcting nutritional deficiencies that accrue in Celiac Disease. Ask about Gastrointestinal BeriBeri. -

https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event. As I said, I would visit with your doctor over this and I would ask to get that checked again in the near future after your back pain and cold have been resolved for a time.
