Celiac Symptoms / Blood Test

I've been suspecting that I am Celiac for a while. I got a blood test about 2 years ago and it didn't confirm it and I got another today (waiting on results). I have heard that the blood test is not enough though, that I need the endoscopy...

anyways, my symptoms/suspicions are as follows:

My father was Celiac 

I have persistent anxiety/panic attacks/sleeplessness/occasional depressive episodes

Feet/hands are super cold all the time, pins & needles all the time...

Fatigue, headaches and brain fog very often

Very frequent constipation and occasional bloating concentrated in the stomach

Very infrequent periods, sometimes will go without for months on end...

Irritable

Should I wait for the blood results to get an endoscopy or should I do it either way?

Welcome!  

It might be prudent to make sure you had the complete celiac blood test panel instead of just the screening TTG:

Autoimmune disorder symptoms can overlap, so trying to make a diagnosis based your your symptoms is not possible.

You might be right about asking for an endoscopy.  It is a decision that only you and your doctor can make.  Keep us posted.  ?

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
