Symptom Of Cd Or Something Else?

When my stomach is completely empty, I get really, painfully bloated. Like, looking pregnant bloated. Is this another symptom of celiac disease? It's really irritating, because being gluten-free has gotten rid of my bloating, except when I'm starving!

Thanks in advance!

Your post struck a cord, I also get bloated when my stomach is empty, wish I could help you but just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

It's even worse if I do exercise and my stoamch is bloated, I just posted about almost the same thing.

I don't think this has anything to do with celiac disease. Eat small meals or snacks more often.

If you let your stomach get too empty you can get sick-that's for pretty much everyone. However, the bloating and all of that are symptoms of celiac...and I know before I was gluten free I found it extremely hard to eat and I would have nausea all the time.

Kaiti, I find it interesting that at your age, you had mostly nausea as a symptom. I am 49 now but had been sick for 20 years or so. The main symptom I had for a long time was nausea and dizziness. I was told it was allergies. It wasen't until 2 years ago, when my symptoms worsened to D (frequent and urgent), anemia, depression, anxiety, wt. loss, tingling, etc. that I was able to get a DX. For so many years I had no idea what was wrong with me. Thank goodness you found out at a relatively young age so you can do what you need to do to be healthy. BTW--I know this is off topic, but are you still looking for recipes for your book? If so, I have one!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
