Pre diagnosis symptoms

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I am currently waiting on my biopsy results but holy moly has life been rough lately. About 6 months ago my life turned upside down! Headaches rapid heart rate feeling like I’m looking through a cloud to anxiety and being afraid to drive/be in public to gas bloating burping and frequent stools much softer than normal. I guess I’m looking for similarities between any of you? Did it seem to come out of nowhere? Hind site I’ve had some GI issues all my life. But this extreme life altering state has been the last 6 months. It’s miserable! Has anyone else had this rapid heart beat and had a normal hemoglobin? My ferritin is low normal. But my bilirubin is always elevated and some excess fat around my liver (I’m a 26 year old NON alcoholic). Can anyone relate while I wait in this anxious mess?

Welcome!  

Celiac disease has so many symptoms (over 200) and the ones you described could very well fit celiac disease.  Did you get a celiac blood screening test prior to your biopsy?  If your GI (or Dermatologist if you have Dermatitis Herpetaformis) went directly to biopsies, ask for the screening now before going gluten free as many things can destroy intestinal villi.  

Anxiety and liver issues are very common in celiac disease and can resolve on the gluten free diet.  But a fatty liver can be attributed to a diet high in carbs/sugar.

Keep us posted of your results.  If celiac disease is ruled out, you many have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  Trialing the gluten-free diet can resolve this too.  

 I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, 

I'm waiting for a diagnosis too so can't really comment on the coeliac side but I have low iron, ferritin and folate but my hemoglobin is "normal" but was on the bottom of the normal range last time, Anyway yes my heart rate has increased as I started to feel worse.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
