SIBO test

Hi,

Haven’t posted for a while. I feel a little bit better after my strict diet. Not sure if my iron went up though and not sure how long does it take for ferritin levels to go back to normal. Had SIBO test last week and results are negative for SIBO hydrogen but elevated methane level. Does anyone have the same thing?

SIBO is a common issue, and in your case could definitely be related to your recent celiac disease diagnosis. Hopefully your strict gluten-free diet will help with both your ferritin and SIBO issues, but this can take time. The average time to recover after a CD diagnosis is around two years. It is possible that your SIBO issue may need to be treated with antibiotics, which would likely speed up this process, and hopefully you can discuss this with your doctor.

Here is a quick search for others who have posted about SIBO on Celiac.com:

Thank you:).

I was told that my SIBO is negative but methane level was elevated. My doctor said it might be related to bloating and gas. Anyways after coming back to LA I will discuss it with my doctor. I asked him if I need antibiotic treatments for methane but he hasn’t responded yet. I was also told that my celiac is mild but it’s Marsh 3A I don’t think it should be considered mild, I’m not doctor but I think stage 3 is actual damage. Can I ask what was your Marsh score and how long did it take for you to heal ?

thank you so much

I don't think that is mild either, and it can take a year or more on a 100% gluten-free diet to fully heal. I don't think the Marsh scale was in use when I was diagnosed, but I do know that my gastro said that the damage was visible to the naked eye. I believe it took me closer to 2 years to feel like I had recovered, but I know that I had issues avoiding contamination, especially because I did eat out regularly.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
