90% celiac symptoms in me last 27 years

I am 48 years old. Last 10 month in France. 4 months back I had upper body burning, stabbing pain and high blood pressure with difficulty to breath, I rushed to emergency but unfortunately they couldn't identify the problem in me. Just a week back I realized by searching on the net, it might be Celiac Disease caused me by hereditary ( I carry 95% the same symptoms . My mother passed away in her 40's. Celiac Disease symptoms. I could recollect.   Now I am taking a gluten free diet, still my breathing trouble, burning sensation on my upper body remains. Fortunately in the last 12 years, I was taking multivitamins like B6, B12,  zinc, calcium, magnesium, and ginkgo biloba. Past 1 year I haven't taken those vitamins. Everything medication got blocked here. The problem is no one understands what I say about my problems. Now  I don't know what to do.  Can anyone help me?

I know that ginko biloba interacts with a lot of meds but are you sure that's true of B6, B12, zinc, calcium and magnesium? I wasn't aware of those others being a problem. What medications are you on? Do you have good health insurance? Are you a French citizen or do you have private insurance? What resources are available to you? Sounds like you might have other medical problems in addition to possible/probable celiac disease. I would ask your physician to order a blood work to check for celiac antibodies. Unfortunately, the tests will not be accurate if you are already eating gluten free.

I have health insurance. I don't have any lungs,heart, or blood clot problems. It has been checked over here. That's why they said I don't have any problems. It's all about my mind. When I start taking fruits and vegetables sometimes I feel better again, stomach upset , motion with pain, numbness in hands and legs, feeling cold, breathing trouble starts. 

I am an Indian. Two days back I bought magnesium and B12 (oxygen in blood ) When I loose energy trip i take magnesium tablets. Ginko i used for my memory loss. 

I got an appointment with a Gastroenterologist in November here. please go through the below details. Please....

History of hereditary cases
My mother passed away in her 40s. She had almost all of the symptoms, issues and issues as well as the common health issues of my symptoms. That I am noted below for myself. Both of my mother's kidneys damaged 90%, there were still no symptoms of kidney disease in her. She had difficulty breathing in the final stage, breathing with oxygen for a week, coughing up blood, sight goes back and forth after blood transfusion (2 times), blood pale in color, in a week , She died.
She had chronic pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, stomach pain, skin pain, etc. Her tooth completely disappeared when she was 18 or 19, and she was using an artificial tooth.
No one could identify his real problems. All the doctors have ignored or confirmed that any kind of pain and difficulty in the body is that it just doesn't feel real. They couldn't find any cause or problem in it.
Just six months before his death, kidney problems were diagnosed. His blood pressure went up and down. She suffered from chronic pain. She did not have any symptoms similar to kidney failure. Urination was normal, not much swelling in the body, face, or legs. It's a big question in front of me that what was the root cause of his death?
My mother's family members (sister mothers and their children) have stomach issues, neck issues, fatigue-weight gain, missed periods and dental issues, etc., as far as I know.

2. Sleep disorder: - lack of deep sleep (delta stage). The night is full of dreams, scary, scared, crying, talking, whispering, wild animals and the action like climbing, jumping, running, flying and all the dreams seeing the repetition and the chase related to one or the other dreams. Until now.

Chronic diarrhea continues about 8 years (1999) after diarrhea or constipation changes vice versa. If I had food at the same time or while eating, I have stomach bloating, pain or upset, the urgency to move on. The amount of stool is higher than the food I have eaten. With the same previous symptoms. Due to this problem, I cannot go anywhere outside.

7. At the age of 26, the doctors rejected my case with no reason and closed the file declared by AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDER.

Now it's been 20 years. Feet of the left leg is dislocated and prevent from making any kind of movements. Chronic pain and inflammation. Due to the malposition of the feet and ankle the pain worsens more in the left leg. My left leg ankle and feet are dislocated. (Please do a detailed examination on this subject with an orthopedic doctor)

9. At the age of 32, until I was 46 (since I arrived in France, it's over), I was doing Ayurvedic treatment for back pain, inflammation and swelling. Herbal medicine & Hot oil massages frequently, physiotherapy, hot water bath and steam bath

2. At the age of 35 or 36, partial loss of memory and three years under treatment with Ginkgo biloba
3. At the age of 38, after a lot of struggle, a rheumatologist reports having fibromyalgia

To me it seems that you have some pretty severe absorption issues that you should discuss with your doctor. It would probably make sense for them to check various vitamin and mineral levels in your blood, and even follow up and do celiac disease antibody tests to make sure you've been 100% gluten-free. If you eat out you should stop doing that for a while and focus on making your diet 100% gluten-free. You should keep a food diary to see if you have additional food intolerance issues.

      My POINT trents, was actually related to food more than inhalers causing your issue. My POINT is that even though gluten free food is supposed to not cause a reaction it does and can in some people so think about what you're eating...premade foods labeled gluten free like breads, pastry, cookies....whatever you're consuming....may be causing the reaction. I can't eat any gluten free breads from stores & certain pasta is a no too...others are OK. You may want to eliminate certain foods and see if your problem clears up.  2. Check with the inhaler manufacturer to ensure it's gluten free. Other than those two points if it continues a throat scope by an ENT may be needed to rule out other things.

      Thanks Christina.  The Granola products I tried were marked Gluten Free so supposed to be suitable.  I've had many tests done but no results yet but I get the results in next day or so.   I may well have these issues due to deficiencies. Just wanted to get some anecdotal feedback about the issue before I see the GE specialist   If and wwhenI get an answer, I'll post it her. Cheers!! Carmel

      Hi @Farralley and welcome to the form I have had soreness, ulcers and also find my tongue and inside my mouth is very sensitive and blisters easily (blood blisters) if I bite something sharp.  Ulcers were a big issue twice before I was diagnosed, the doctors didn't put two and two together and think of coeliac disease, but I had two episodes where I had so many, even eating toast and marmalade made me think I was chewing glass. In your case, what you are describing could well be due to a reaction to cross contamination, or perhaps even a sensitivity to oats?  Are you consuming gluten free oats - i.e. certified pure oats, free from contamination?  You will probably know that coeliacs cannot eat standard oats, they have to be oats that are grown and processed separately from gluten containing grains, and certified as such.  But even then, a small percentage of coeliacs cannot tolerate pure oats, in the short term while they are recovering, or even in the longer term, unfortunately.  It took me eight years before I stopped reacting to even pure oats and now eat them with no issues, but for some a reaction to the protein avenin in oats can be either a temporary or long term issue. Another issue is you may be short of iron or B12 and other B vitamins, which can leave your mouth sore and prone to ulcers.  Have you had these levels tested recently?  If the burning continues, I'd definitely ask your doctors to do another blood test. Lastly - you may have burning mouth syndrome, do have a look into that, which could just be a temporary reaction to something - food, a new toothpaste, reflux? For now, in your shoes I'd probably keep an eye on any recurrences and perhaps keep a food diary to see if there is a pattern.  Have the blood test to check for deficiencies, and try to eat soft, bland food for a few days to help recovery along. Hope this helps, Cristiana

      Hi all I was diagnosed wuth Coeliac Disease about 9 months ago after my GP was investigating chronic anaemia. I had an endoscopy and 'total atrophy of the villa' was observed. I have recently had test to check fir other nutrient deficiencies. The test resilts will be shared with me soon during a visit to the Gastro Entrologist.  My concern is a sore mouth lining. I'm not certain but thought that consumption of a gluten free Granola which contained freeze dried berries seems to coincide with the soreness.. it's taken weeks and a range of over-the-counter remedied to reduce the soreness.  I've also been casting around for a remedy and a genuine cause. Perhaps foolishly I  purchased another similar product ( no frozen berries) and my mouth has become a lot sorer almost immediately.  No doubt my doctor will have some ideas. Just wondering if  1. Others had mouth soreness 2. Others had difficulty with gluten-free Granola-like cereal. TThans in advance. Farralley     .

      In the time leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing, attempt to consume at least 10g of gluten daily, about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. Concerning the two antibody tests I suggested, the "total IGA" is not a test per se to detect celiac disease but to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the test scores for individual IGA tests will be artificially low and can generate false negatives. The TTG-IGA test is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease, and considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing, but it is not the only one. Ideally, others would be ordered but cost containment in medicine being what it is, physicians seldom order a "full celiac panel" at the outset. Here is an overview of the tests that can be run:
