Hello I’ve had gluten sensitivity diagnosed for a few years now, unfortunately I wasn’t smart and I kept eating gluten non stop. Now I believe I’m reaping the effects of this. But I’m curious if anyone else has these symptoms? 
 

it’s hard to use the restroom to poop, it hurts real bad and it results in hemorrhoids. I’ve had 3 hemorrhoids that haven’t gone away for awhile now. Also when I pee, it burns. And my urethra seems to burn usually all the time. I pee constantly. Even when it’s just a drop I feel the need to go at Least 5 times while in bed. 
 

I have bad skin issues but wanted to know if gluten makes them worse? I have eczema and psoriasis. But recently have developed psoriasis on my genitals in the skin folds.

 

just curious if anyone else gets these symptoms. Really need answers here. I have pure o Ocd and these symptoms are driving me insane.

Seems like you have answered your own questions for the most part. I don't think there is anything to do except make a serious commitment to eating gluten free. All of the symptoms you describe could be related directly or indirectly to your gluten sensitivity. Your body is rebelling against your resistance to doing what you should have done years ago and that is eliminate gluten from your diet. Now there is a cascade of things going wrong. Not saying all of your problems are gluten related but this would seem to be the place to start in order to sort things out.

Have you been tested for Celiac Disease?

Have you been checked for diabetes?

Have you been checked for a bladder infection?

I was checked for bladder infection and celiac. I had no infection, and I have gluten sensitivity not celiac. This was 3 years ago. Same symptoms as now.

bigmouthaj,

Having "gluten sensitivity" is comparable to "being a little bit pregnant."  If you keep ingesting gluten, your problems are going to get bigger.

Your "gluten sensitivity" causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  You need to be checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies as part of proper follow up care.

Deficiency in Riboflavin (vitamin B2) can cause that scaly genital rash.

Deficiency of magnesium can cause that constipation.  Vitamin C will help the hemorrhoids.

Deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3) can cause the psoriasis and eczema.  You may also be deficient in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Omega 3's which are needed for skin health.

Deficiency of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 and thiamine (vitamin B1) can cause the urinary urge and the burning.

OCD is a manifestation of B12 deficiency.  You also need tryptophan, folate, thiamine and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to make those feel good neurotransmitters like  serotonin and dopamine.

Please get checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing to correct any deficiencies.  Talk to a nutritionist or dietitian about incorporating nutrition dense foods into your diet.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Hope this helps!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!
