Blood Pressure

This as far as I know is not listed as sympton any where but when I was eating gluten my BP shot up to 140/98 and the docs all wanted to medicate. But everytime I tried the gluten-free diet my BP fell to safe limits. Infact this week the doc measured it at 100/70! I am not taking _any_ meds for it, but my doc is using it as a reason to believe celiac disease is the correct diagnoses.

Anyone else like this? Any good reason for it? Or am I just wierd, again? :)

Hi Vincent. My husbands blood pressure had gotten really low since he's been dx with Celiac (actually it was super low before dx and it's now come up and is now just low). His is normally around 100/58 to 100/60.

I guess he's weird too :lol:

I'm jealous of you 'weird people' :D --My BP started to creep up around 8 years ago. Now, I'm on 2 different meds. for it, the dr. just doubled one of them a month ago. I have to go in on Monday to see if it had an effect. Being gluten-free for over 8 months now has had no effect, for me, on my BP :angry:

Mine used to be really low, like 90/60 and since going gluten-free it has evened out to an average of 124/78. I am thinking that whether it gets higher or lower, if it is BETTER then the gluten-free diet is helping! right? I was really anemic, so I think that is why mine was so low. And I had chest pains a lot, so I have a home BP kit. That is cool that your doc is drawing lines and connecting the dots!

I've had unexplained high blood pressure for years. I had high bp at 20 when I was quite slim. Doctors couldn't explain it....I wasn't ever all that overweight...about 20 lbs max, and I was a very careful healthy eater and strong exerciser...and although I didn't want to take meds, I did agree to try verapamil on one occasion and hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic), and neither of these really helped lower it much. Doctors were very puzzled. I don't know that it has gone down all that much now, but maybe I haven't been gluten free long enough. I keep cheating a bit here and there. :(

I do know that a food allergy reaction will cause bp to spike or bottom out, so I do believe that celiac will do the same thing. Mine used to be quite low, now it is in the normal range. I was so used to the low, that the normal feels weird!

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
