Hi. My husband had elevated liver enzymes at his last doctors appt. This was the first time his were elevated and I'm not sure which ones were eleveated. There are like 3 of them ALT, AST, and Alkaline Phospahtes. He goes back to the doctor in March to have them rechecked and I'm going to request a copy of the reports. I posted a thread about this a few weeks ago and several people posted with the same results and some links to research on Celiac and Liver Disease. My husband also had the negative Hepatitis test, and he's had an abdominal CT, and 2 Abdominal U/S in the past 6 months with a normal liver. I'm sorry you have these problems but it is always a little comforting to hear others dealing with it, hopefully it's all part of the road to recovery. You mentioned you weren't any better. Have you seen no improvement at all in the past 9 months? Shane (my hubbie) has been gluten-free for about 5 months and we have definately seen improvements although he is no where near better. Hope your feeling better soon.

I've had problems with elevated liver enzymes for the past 12 years on and off. It must be something with the fat metabolism. It has been ok for a couple of years now since I have been eating lower fat. Now with the gluten free diet, I am not sure how it will affect things. I have had milk thistle recommended to me, but am not sure about the dosages. Take care and I hope your husband's health improves soon.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      Best apps for people with celiac

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It took me 2-3 years to feel like my gut recovered, and then I still had gluten ataxia issues for well over a decade.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
