More Questions, Including How Do You Pronounce celiac disease?

First of all, I'm not even sure how you say it...can someone relate that to me?

I'm going to go to my dentist today and will talk to him more about my Enamel Defects and the possibility of

it being celiac disease.

Now for my questions:

-Anyone care to guess what my chances of actually having this is? Mild symptoms...severe enamel defects?

-Is an acid problem related to celiac disease? I'm constantly needing antacids and can barely tolerate coffee anymore.

-If you have symptoms like diarrhea which are mild and transient, is this something that can get worse with time. (When I feel well I have difficulty believing I could have celiac disease, I don't feel sick enough)

-If it was really celiac disease, wouldn't I feel sicker? Wouldn't I get sick every time I eat bread etc...?

-I have symptoms where every once in a while, I feel weak and trembly, sometimes diarrhea, almost like I have the flu, but it's something else. It lasts a couple days and then I start to get better. Sort of like a cold, but without the respiratory symptoms... Could this be related?

I have a ton more questions, but let's start with that. Sorry for the rambling... Thanks!

Celiac = see-lee-ack

A good way to remember is silly-yak. Imagine a big goofy mountain yak! :)

I don't know how the Europeans pronounce it though, since they spell it Coeliac or some such with too many vowels.

The "o" has no effect on pronunciation; it is not only silent, but it does not harden the "c" either. It is as af it wasn't there at all. There are a few words in British English like that. Sometimes, "cae" acts the same, as in Caesar. I guess the Brits have a surplus of vowels and are trying to use them up. :o

Good to know--that "o" always throws me a little! :D

many, many, many people do not have many symptoms at all. they're diagnosed because they're feeling a little tired, they're doc runs a blood test, they find out they're anemic, and then the doc randomly decides to screen for celiac because there's no good reason to be anemic. or they have a few too many bowel movements each day, nothing much, and a little rumbling in their intestines, and the doc tests them because he's had a rash of other people come in with the same problem.

this board has a skewed sample of people - symptom wise; people who've had to look really hard to get diagnosed, who've had a lot of trouble. I'm one of the ones with few symptoms. I don't get very sick, I don't have huge problems, I don't have much in the way of secondary issues related to celiac. there are a few others of us on the board. but most of the board is people who had to do a lot of searching to find out what was wrong. those who don't have a lot of symptoms either haven't been diagnosed (like 97% of people with celiac disease, according to recent studies), or haven't don't the searching for months or years to find out what is wrong with them.

we're not doctors, we can't give you odds on celiac in your case. we can say 'yes, you could have it; you should be tested', but we can't give you numbers. we can tell you that MANY people have mild symptoms, MANY people have NO GI symtpoms, many people have intermittent symptoms, and the symptoms you have described can be caused by celiac disease.

it's definitely worth testing. it's definitely worth asking to be tested. I know it's hard to work up the courage to be tested, especially if you're worried that your doctor is just going to look at you like some internet-freak of a hypochondriac. it took me a number of weeks to schedule my appointment. but what matters is getting tested. your doctor is a professional, and is there to treat you - all of you. the worst she can say is no, in which case you can pursue other options (privately paid doctors, naturopathic doctors, trying the gluten-free diet on your own, enterolab, etc.). but this is your body, and your health, you are the decider! :-)

Thanks for that! I had wondered if it was pronounced "co-lay-ick", I'm glad it's not. I suppose it works like orthopaedic and it just looks fancier instead. I would hate to have to learn English as a second language, sheesh! :blink:

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By jamiet06 · Posted

      Hello, I hope I am posting this in the correct space, so apologies if not! After my last two endoscopies (2019 and 2024), I received the following comment in my report: Duodenal biopsy: Duodenal mucosa with mild intra-epithelial lymphocytosis in the presence of normal villous architecture. Comment: Findings are non-specific. They can be seen in coeliac disease, peptic or medication induced injury and H.pylori infection among others. Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended. I didn't have an ulcer and crohns disease was not mentioned to me. For the past few years I have had on and off digestive issues (gas, mild diarrhea, lower abdominal bloating). Just recently I went to my GP and he stated it was probably all related to IBS, however, I forgot to mention this statement from my endoscopy report. Does this sound like it is pointing towards celiacs? I am a 52 year old male. Any advice would be awesome. Thank you

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.
