My liver enzymes were moderately high for years before Celiac diagnosis but they returned to normal within three or four months of going gluten free. What hasn't returned to normal in the two years since going gluten free is my albumin/total protein. That puzzles me. Makes me wonder if some liver damage was done by all those years of being stressed. Or, maybe its not only the gut that has to heal but the liver also and that may take longer.

Are you pretty sure of your compliance level in being gluten free?

What about other food intolerances and leaky gut syndrome? From what I've been reading on this forum, the leaky gut issue may not ever disappear entirely, even after going gluten free.

Are you on any statin drugs for cholestol or on acetamenophen for pain regularly?

MY ALBUMIN = 4.5 AND TOTAL PROTEIN = 7.O I DON'T THINK ETHER OF THOSE ARE HIGH. DOC DOES NOT THINK ELEVATED ALKALINE PHOSPHASE IS FROM BONE OR LIVER. IF NOT WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS CONDITION ? I'VE BEEN TOTALY COMPLIANT WITH gluten-free DIET. ONLY DRUGS I TAKE ARE PRILOSEC OTC AND CENTRUIM MULTI-VITS, I DID EAT ACETAMENAPHEN LIKE CANDY FOR TENDONITIS BUT QUIT 15 MONTHS AGO.

]I had a very high alk phos for two years before a diagnosis of celiac disease was made. I also have a history of melanoma so my primary doctor thought I might have bone mets. The first oncologist didn't feel it was related to the melanoma and dismissed the whole thing. My primary doctor then blamed it on breast feeding. After I was done breast feeding it was still elevated in the 400 range. I was feeling pretty bad, bone pain, edema in both legs , weight loss and extreme fatigue. I went to a second and more thorough oncologist who did a very very good work up. He said my alk phos was off the wall due to a vit D deficiency and low calcium all due to celiac disease. My bones were working overtime to compensate for my unknown malnutrition. I was also found to have severe osteoporosis. After following a gluten free diet and taking lots of vit D and Calcium in three months time my blood work is almost normal after being off the wall for over two years.

Good luck, I hope my story helps you.

      Skinesa

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
