Low Glom Filt Rate And High Phosphorus Serum

I recently got some blood tests back that showed a low Glom Filt Rate (57.2) and a high Phosphorus serum (5.0), which from what I've read are both signs of kidney problems. I had been to a kidney dr. about 3 years ago b/c a reproductive endo that I was seeing (this was way before dx for celiac) thought I might have kidney problems (I urinate excessively during day and night and have more output than input, consistantly - I"ve done 3 collection tests and always the same results). Anyway, does anyone know if these latest blood test readings could just be a result of the celiac (my last biopsy showed my villi were still flat so I"m not healing)? has anyone else ever had something like this? My drs are clueless (thryoid is all over the board - hypo to hyper to hypo) and I have been to so many drs (took 10 before they discovered the celiac) that I don't feel like finding another kidney dr. just to have him turn me away like I"m crazy <_<

Hi. Did you ever get any insight into the nature of your problems? Sounds like there is some similarity to my most recent lab results. Thanks.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."

      What canned tomato sauce is gluten free? I use Hunts diced tomatoes, because they're labeled gluten-free, but none of their other products are labeled. Similar situation with some other brands. How about ricotta? Is that generally safe? Can I just get the store brand? Or do I need to look for a gluten-free label? Thanks for any help.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By trents · Posted

      BadHobit, did you know that 40% of the general population has one or more of the genes that have been associated with the development of celiac disease? But only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, the gene test can legitimately be used to rule out celiac disease but not to confirm it.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By BadHobit · Posted

      An entirely different infection caused the sore throat. My doctor said, "When you suddenly switch from a gluten-free diet to gluten, your immune system weakens." I got better with medication. Once I recovered, I experimented with wheat-free but gluten-contaminated foods such as oats. Within a week, watery blisters appeared on my skin again. So I gave up gluten for good. And hello, I gained weight, and I'm not skinny anymore (in fact, I was a person who lost weight by eating pizza and hamburgers!). My skin, stomach, and intestines are happy. I just think they can find out if I have celiac disease—and I'm ninety percent sure about the gluten part—with a diagnostic gene test. However, I prefer not to visit the hospital due to my excellent health. I'll keep you posted when I have that gene test done and receive the results. Thanks a bunch for your help!
