Has anyone noticed when they were a kid that they had celiac disease or was it older in life? like did it just come out of know where like I was diagnosed via blood test. but I never noticed I was always fatigued but I thought that's what life was for me until swap of gluten free diet and then when near foreign substances my life was just upside down and horrible like what was the symptoms you experienced via nose, mouth and esophagus and gut?

I didn't get diagnosed until I was in my mid-20's, but had severe symptoms for a few years leading up to that point. After I got diagnosed and went gluten-free, some long-term  health issues seemed to also go away, and I had those issues long before my severe symptoms kicked in. For example chronic nasal congestion, strange rashes, blepharitis, and panic attacks. It took me years to realize that the symptoms I had when I was much younger were also related to either undiagnosed celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. I never identified the symptoms as being related, and never thought that going gluten-free would cause them to clear up, but that's what happened.

ok true really . sorry to hear about that ! i was in my late 20s when i had black outs for no reason and just full on panic attacks would always black out and be like what the heck but like just body in shock but now I take fexofenadine and 2 puffs inhaler because it helps the panic attack and open airways and fexo relives symptoms its so good knowing this can save my life ? what symptoms did you notice growing up as like we grow up out growing wheat but then the body shows later on hey .

So you still have panic attacks after going gluten-free? How long ago were you diagnosed?

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
