B12 defiency + low blood pressure + inflammation in


Lindquist

Recommended Posts

Lindquist Contributor

Hi i wondering what causes inflammation in Duodenum and b12 defiency and low blood pressure? I got a inflammation in Duodenum 2019 and had very low blood pressure. And i got also Iron defiency and b12 defiency. So i eat my b12 metylkobalamin. Can celiac cause this??

 Hi Lindquist.  Yes celiacs can cause those deficiencies, as well as the inflamed Duodeum.  My endoscopy showed "extremely inflamed Duodeum."  When the pathology report came back from the biopsy, taken at the same time, it diagnosed celiac sprue.  I never had blood work done, but I just know that I must be absorbing everything better on the gluten free diet, because I have gained some much needed weight, and feel and look better.  Do you plan to have a blood test for celiacs?  If so, you know to continue eating gluten until the labs are done.  Good luck!

Hi no i can't contain eating gluten i don't  want to be sick in 3-6 month to keep eating that for a blood test.  I will get a test that show if i have the gen to have celiac in adult stage. As my mom had celiac and my grandmother. I think its genetic it must be it's nothing you are born with. This has coming up in adult age for me. What cause b12 defiency ? Is it from celiac or crohns or what?

Hi again Lindquist.  Glad you made the decision to go gluten free now, rather than wait until you had a blood test.  Given your syptoms, and family history, I think you can safely say you have celiacs disease.  Low B 12 is usually caused by poor absorbtion in the small intestines, (celiacs, chrones, surgical alteration,) or poor diet.  Practicing alcoholics get this a lot.  Basically, B 12 is found in animal proteins.  Taking it orally, if there is a poor absorption problem, may not help much.  A lot of people require B 12 injections to get their levels up.  That said, if you have celiacs disease and go on a gluten free diet, you should heal your intestines very soon, and greatly increase your absorbtion of vitamins.  The "good" thing about having celiacs is that there are no medications needed to treat it, and you can go into life long remission simply by staying on a gluten free diet.  May I ask how old you are?  I was 69 years old when diagnosed.  Also, is there a celiac gene specifically for adult onset celiacs?  If so, I have not heard of it.  I am possitive for the celiac gene DQ8.

Hi again i'm 45 years old and i going to order from this site www.dynamiccode.com they sell a gluten gen test it shows you if you have celiac in your gens you dont need to eat gluten to show results. I live in north sweden and the site is in sweden. So going to order that for 495 sek. I hope it show me the right results then i will be glad.

Please realize that not everyone who has the genes for celiac disease will actually get celiac disease.  The majority with the genetic predisposition do NOT get celiac.

RMJ.  It is true that everyone who carries some version of the celiac gene does not get the disease, but everyone who has celiacs does have one or more of the gene's for it, without exception.  Lindquist is from Sweden, and celiacs disease is very prevalent in the Northwest Europe region.  This surprises me that such genes could survive the "survival of the fittest" challenge in a culture that has so long had wheat as it's main food source.  This was the same area that the gene that allows adult humans to digest milk mutated into being.  Fascinating stuff!

To weed out the gene, you have to take those with the gene out of the reproductive pool.  Remember that celiac can be related to 2' infertility. Had one. Can not carry more...there is your next gen.  celiac.

Hi again i can tolerate lactose in adult age and whole life of this mutant gen we have in Sweden from ancestors My doctor say. But i get lactose intolerant when i get gluten in me of mistake. That's why i get problem. I also lose many weight from 130 kilo to 67 kilo. Is this a example of Celiac to have slim arms, slim legs and a stomach looks im pregnant.

I am guessing that those ancient folks carring the celiac genes got to reproductive age, (13!) Before they presented with serious disease.

Yes, that could be an example of a celiac appearance, very thin but with bloating.

For people with celiac disease, gluten harms the villi in the intestine.  The tips of the villi make the enzyme which breaks down lactose.  That is why people with celiac disease can be lactose intolerant until their villi heal.

I am not a medical professional. All of the symptoms you have mentioned can be caused by celiac. I agree that with your family history it is likely celiac. However, the only way to get a definite diagnosis is through the testing.

RMJ,  thanks for that tid bit!  I did not know that was why some celiacs have a temporary intolerance of dairy.

Hi again sometimes my poop stinking alot in toilet. I don't know what causing it if it's lactose or gluten damage. Can Artrofic Gastritis has with celiac to do also? I don't know why i get b12 defiency. Can anyone explain that?

Hi Lindquist!

My understanding is that the reason we get really stinky bowel movements is that the food we are eating doesn't get fully digested. The food then starts to ferment or rot. And what we smell is the rotten food we are passing. 

If I understand what I have read and heard correctly, most of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients we absorb from our food get absorbed in the duodenum and small intestine part of the digestive tract. The finger like villi in this area of the digestive tract increase the surface area which allows people to better absorb the nutrition we all need. 

But, for those of us with celiac, the villi become blunted or damaged by the autoimmune response we have to eating gluten. That decreases the surface area inside our small intestines, and then we can't absorb as much of the things that we need. I am not a medical professional. So, I could be wrong.  If you do have celiac, then my guess is that the damage to your small intestines is probably the root cause of the B12 deficiency. You should probably also check for other deficiencies as well.

I hope this helps!

Hi thanks for your answer. Sometimes i say to people when i have by mistake had get gluten in me by food that people don't know what celiac is. I say it feels that "sometime it feels that something is eating me up from inside" can you people also feel that something is eating you from the inside cause of the pain? I also vomiting too i can not have my glass of water left inside me when i get gluten in me i vomiting. Is that normal?

Getting "glutened" can cause a variety of symptoms. Pain and vomiting are pretty common.

Hi so i can also have defiency of Vitamin D too?? I have not check that up. I know i have b12 defiency of it's caused by Iron defiency i think. Could rapseed oil have gluten ? I ate yesterday bought potato balls and My face flare up to red. And the balls has also dextrose om afraid dextrose is from gluten. Because i had also a very big headache after eating this crap from supermarket.

Wheatwacked Veteran

...and the iron defiency could be from low D. Which could be a result of malabsorbtion from Celiac disease which could be worsened by low D. Vicious circle worth investigaing.  No, to gluten in rapeseed oil or dextrose. Maybe, perhaps, someone grabbed the flour instead of the dextrose in your batch. They are both white powder. More likely there is wheat as a binder in your potato ball ingredient list. Commercial potato pancakes, and many home recipes, have taken to using matzah meal, or wheat flour to enhance binding. I think this started around the time that eggs were branded unhealthy.  Eggs are the best dietary source of choline, which is needed by our liver. Three or four eggs a day (190 gm) is 558 mg fulfills the RDA (450 to 3500 gm/day).

Hi again they say i'm intolerant to yeast in cereals and grain products. Can yeast intolerance have something with celiac in common?

If it is "brewers yeast," it contains gluten from the barley it was grown in.

Hope to get THE big test from imupro.com soon 

Oldturdle Collaborator

I gave Imupro a quick glance online.  It sounds intriguing.  Did you do the 30, 60, or 90 test?  Did you need to go to a lab to have your blood drawn?  Do keep us posted on what results you get!  How long have you been gluten free?  I suppose the celiacs portion of this test would not be reliable if you were not eating gluten at the time of the testing.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
