Celiac On The Brain?

I had the funniest dream last night. I dreamt that I got my enterolab test results back, but they were very confusing, and I didn't know what to do, so I posted them right away for ya'll to comment. They were Gliadin 4; ttg 10; and malapsorbtion 449 (!). I'll get the results in another week or two. We'll see if I'm clairvoyant :) but I really hope not, because those results would be hard to interpret.

One thought I had, in my dream, was, Well, I guess it's not celiac, but...I'm sure gonna miss that discussion forum!

Aren't dreams like that crazy? You can't stop thinking about them. I get that sort of thing sometimes.

Let's hope that your results won't be as confusing as that!

I also am waiting for results from Enterolab for my son. We've been trying to get a diagnosis of some sort for six months now. All three of my children got food poisoning in April and haven't been the same since. I feel like my husband and I have been doing all the research and have gotten no help! We also asked them to test for H Pylori because those symptoms seem like they could match as well. It's so frustrating!!! I found out my first doctor ran the wrong test when my son was eating gluten. Now, my new doctor wants to run the right test, but he's already been off gluten for a month. Neither of them know what they're doing!! Why is the entire medical community not knowledgeable on this disease. Do you all think that Enterolab is reliable? Do you think I should discuss results with my medical doctor, or will they not take it seriously? Please reply, I'm going crazy!!

Medical docs probably won't take them seriously even though Dr. Fine has excellent credentials. I was very happy with their service.

I think it depends on the doctor. I was a bit skeptical of the tests, but I asked them some questions and I think they're very reliable. The medical explanation makes sense--IgA is produced in the gut, especially this one, so it makes more sense to test it in the stool than the blood. The assay uses the same substrate as the blood tests use, so it's tried-and-true. There is no known source for cross-reactivity with the substrate in the stool. So, I don't think there's anything to argue with. Plus Dr. Fine's CV is excellent. He also has major NIH grants for testing his method.

If you go to your Dr. with enterolab results, I would make sure to print some of these things and take them along.

      Diabetes like symptoms and more

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
