I will definitely check into that creatine stuff.  I tend to even before dx tried to live very natural I do not like frankenfood or frankenthings in my body. 

Hi Serielda,

 

Since you are vegan, you might want to check out creatine supplements.  You may find you thinker thing works better with a creatine supplement.  But I believe it will also improve with more time on the gluten-free diet.  As your gut heals and can absorb nutrients better, your body will be able to heal better.

 

@athomp,  Thanks for the info about gums affecting you.  I hadn't heard anyone say they affected brain fog before. :)

I concur that drinking lots of water helps, but would add to get more sleep than normal.

IrishHeart, thank you for the info. That was an interesting article on where creating comes from.

Good deal Serielda.  Creatine is a natural body chemical that our livers make.  But I figure it is ok to take a little of the burden off the liver.  And since celiacs are often in bad shape absorption wise, it also frees up those amino acids to be used for something else besides making creatine.  Elevated liver enzymes can occur in untreated celiacs due to cell death in the gut.  That isn't a big problem as it tends to resolve with healing.  But it doesn't hurt to make things easier for the liver IMHO.

 

Good article Irish! :)

I thought it was very interesting as it pertains to the vegan aspect...but do consider the caveat at the bottom where she mentions it may affect

glucose levels. I suspect it is wise to be careful with how much you supplement?

 

take care!  :)

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
