My ears ring really bad when I'm gutened. Anyone else have this problem? Or is this unrelated? It is rather anoying at times.

Research tinnitus. I have tinnitus and I truly do not think it is related to my celiac's. The ringing has been terrible for the last 4 months and I have not been glutened. The "eye" doctor I work for tells me that in the winter months when we have the heat going, the air inside is too dry and it dries out the mucous membranes in our bodies, giving us ringing in the ears and dry eyes. Not sure if he is correct, but it's possible. I also started taking Celexa about the same time the ringing started getting worse--could be that. I stopped taking my 81mg low dose aspirin and the ringing calmed for a time, yet this week, it has been back with a vegence. I have had tinnitus all my life, yet never like the last few months.

My dad has tinnitus. He has also gone nearly 100% deaf. But his is most likely from to many blows to the head. LOL! Ok all kidding aside, he grew up in a very rough neighborhood in Brooklyn and even if he was looking for it he would end up in fights all the time. He had his head cracked open a couple times and later in his teens started training to be a boxer; which is what he was going to do until his brother told him he would kill him if he dropped out of high school to become a boxer. Hehe!!

So although we don't know 100% the doctors (and us) pretty much speculate that both his tinnitus and hearing loss are from all of that.

Like Deb said, look into the tinnitus. You never know, but I doubt it is celiac related.

I have ringing ears ... it's from my Lyme Disease though, I have never seen it related to celiac.

If what Deb's doctor said is true, I'd bet you're getting dehydrated when you get glutened. I know I get dehydrated very easily when glutened.

I've had it my whole life as near as I can remember. I had no idea until a few years ago when I read something about it and realized I had it. It was just there as far back as I can remember. The sound changes, but gluten doesn't seem to affect it one way or another. I'm so accustsom to the ringing it's background noise to me. I suppose if it ever stopped THAT I would notice.

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
