I don't think your a freek! When we were kids (and there were alot of us) my brother would choke and weez in his sleep, I could hear him from the other bedroom. As we were close in age opposed to the other kids (13 mos.) I would go into the room and slap him awake. My dad has this also, my poor mother to this day has to go sleep in their motorhome, which they have parked on the property, just so she can sleep! I don't know how common it is to have both, but I do know sleep apena is common. Hey, total change of subject, but how did the meeting go out at kaiser saturday, I'm going to the next one for sure.

I remember coming home from college, and wherever my father was sleeping that night, the whole house shook.

The meeting was okay. Weird tho. They seemed to see celiac disease as some kind of burdon, I view it as "FINALLY, I know what it is! YAY!". Maybe I'm weird. And they talked about how big this transition is, it hasn't been that hard for me. Maybe I'm weird. Next month they r gonna have a guest speaker. C u there!

Two years ago when I started visiting doctors nonstop, I even went as far as to get tested for sleep apnea. I had no other explanation for how tired I always was.

Well... I was tested negative, no sleep apnea. Only one small apnea all night... but the doctor did say it is something that will likely develop, in like, 20 years or something.

Hope that helps. :)

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
