Any coeliacs with no symptoms?

Hi all, new here!

 

I went to docs recently for blood tests for something unrelated and when the results came back they said they think I have coeliacs disease and an under active thyroid.

A work friend of my partners is a coeliac and always says she has violent d+v almost immediately if she ever accidentally eats any gluten. I, on the other hand, a nearly 30 and have always eaten whatever I liked and have no ill effects. Is it possible to be a coeliac but not have any symptoms?

I've now got to wait till the end of next month to see a specialist who will then decide if they're doing a biopsy to confirm I believe.

After the initial chat with the doctor about my blood results, and him explaining all the horrible things gluten/coeliacs was doing to my body it then feels really weird knowingly eating the stuff until the test, but I don't want to cut stuff out and then have a false test result.

Anyone know of any sufferers who don't outwardly appear to be suffering?! I'm hoping the result will come back negative but the doc was quite sure from my blood result

Welcome!

No, some celiacs do not display any symptoms, but there are about 300 symptoms if celiac disease and you might have a few (little things that you have ignored).  This link takes you to the University of Chicago's celiac website.  It confirms what I said.

Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete!

I just had anemia when I was diagnosed.  No tummy issues at all!

Yazzoo, cyclinglady is correct. There are "silent celiacs" who have no symptoms at all. But there's a good chance you have symptoms & just don't realize it as cyclinglady said. Happens all the time.

The good news is....... You won't have to live without Hobnobs!!! I did a quick Google & found gluten free recipes. Here are just a few:

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.
