Symtoms, Look Familiar?

Almost all of these symptoms either improved greatly OR dissappeared completely on a gluten free diet in our family. Heart palpitations, constipation, diahhrea, gas, bloating, sore painful intestines, osteoporosis, skin rashes, itching(dermatitis hepetaformis) irritability, depression,mind fog, chronic fatigue, acid reflux, hiatal hyrnea, hair loss, fibromyalgia,lactose intolerance, anxiety attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficate disorder, short stature, failure to thrive, eczema, sebboriah or psoriasis, easy bruising, joint pain, swelling, early menopause, irregular menstrual cycles, tooth enamel problem and decay, weight gain or loss, vomiting, intense cravings, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, RLS(restless leg syndrome, muscle cramps,vision changes, tingling in hands while sleeping, itchy ear canals. As time goes on we keep finding symptoms that have dissapeared. We all went through a period of being angry, remember you are not alone, and the proof of that is this site and all the people here that understand what you are going through. It can only get better now that you know.

I am just starting a gluten free diet- 2 weeks so far and am feeling somewhat better. I am wondering how long your family was on the diet before making this much improvement??

Did you go milk free as well or did you use a lactose free milk ?

Thanks

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.
