Celiac And Ibs

Does anyone here have celiac and IBS?  Is IBS caused by the damage from celiac.  It's impossible to eat both a gluten free and IBS diet since that IBS diet is based on so many things that celiacs can not eat.  SO do we just eat gluten free and suffer the effects of eating IBS trigger foods?  I have constant lower gut pain, gas and cramping, it's sore to the touch and very tender.  It feels bruised inside.  These are the symptoms that led to my celiac diagnosis but I am continuing to have problems with my gut.  

Anyone else?

'ibs' is what they told me i had when they didn't know what was wrong with me.  also 'you must have colitis' - which neither was true.  i have other food sensitivities that i figured out using a food journal.  every person is different.  maybe try that?  i kept track of EVERYTHING i ate, every ingredient, and used a scale from 1-7 with 4 being 'eh' lolz - that way i can be picky - i'll have this but skip the peppers, etc.  i also have a reaction to soy that mimics a gluten reaction.

Thanks, I am going to have to start writing it all down so I can notice a pattern.  I have a gluten type reaction to corn which really complicates things.  Corn is in everything.  I was first diagnosed with IBS and when my liver enzymes were elevated then finally I got them to listen to me and then I was diagnosed with celiac.  

I'm going to dig out a notebook and start writing everything down.

 

Thanks.

I got the IBS diagnosis about 30 years before the celiac diagnosis.  It was an incorrect diagnosis.  Being gluten-free cleared up the IBS symptoms.

I agree ! I had IBS for years (couple of decades) before getting sick with a bad virus that wouldn't let me keep anything in for a week. After that I could not tolerate gluten at all (took a while to figure out). Anyway, 5 months after being gluten-free my doc tested me for celiac and of course it was negative....but I am very sensitive to gluten.

 

I have 'fixed my IBS' but eliminating gluten completely - and avoiding dairy 99% of the time and soy as well.

I am sensitive to very low levels of gluten.  I avoid dairy but I do need to be more careful with corn.  

The gi said that I had celiac and " a touch of ibs"  I guess I just need to be patient, more diligent and give it more time.  

Thanks!

Good on Not me! ha ha.

 

The gastro doctor I saw at the start of may said I don't have Celiac, I have IBS without ever scoping me.

I don't know what IBS means anymore.

I BS U ha ha.

 

GFreeMO, I rarely eat process foods because it's so hard to know what ingredient in that box of junk causes a problem.

I eat mostly produce and meat.

Exceptions would be the bread for my gluten challenge and cheeze and jam.

So if you eat eggs and you find it makes you sick then you can keep track of it.

I'm having less pain since I stopped eating tomatoes so I'm suspicious of them.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
