Could it be Celiac disease?

Hi everyone! For years I have had digestive problems and I have always try to make modifications in my diet in order to get better. My problems are constipation, sometimes I get very bloated due to it, and my stools definitely don't look healthy the majority of the time. A couple of days I was really bloated and I don't know how I came to the idea of eating less gluten. During two days I didn't eat any gluten at all and I felt really well. Not only my belly wasn't bloated anymore, but my general health improved as well. I wasn't tired all the time, my vision improved (I always have blurred vision with a lot of black spots, the doctor said it was normal, but after one day without gluten almost all of them disappeared).

I also felt more relaxed and my body didn't feel heavy as usual.

Other symptoms that I have are pain in my joints, photophobia, with minimum effort I get tired, mental fog, I have lactose intolerance, and since I got my period I have never had a regular menstruation (I got my first period with 14 and then I lost it and came back once when I was 16 and 18. Now I am almost 21 and I just get my period every 6-7 months.

After the two days without eating gluten I started eating it again and I could feel that I was a little tired again, and my stomach did hurt a little, I got cold sweat and I lost my appetite. But I have been keeping eating it for four days in really big quantities and now my stomach don't and I am not bloated. And I don't feel that bad like I normally did. Yesterday I ate fruit and I felt really bad, but not with bread.  Now I don't know if I was being Paranoid or not. I don't want to go to the doctor and that he tells me everything is normal like all the doctors do.

Could this be Celiac disease? Did some of you experience something similar? Sometimes I feel healthy and other times not.

Hi!  There are over 200 symptoms for celiac disease.  All that you mentioned could be celiac disease, a gluten sensitivity, cancer, SIBO, lupus, whatever!  The only way to know if it is celiac disease or not is to get tested, but you have to be consuming gluten daily or the tests will not work.  Learn more:

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
