If anyone has ever had elevated Lipase please reply and what did they say, I have had it off and on for years they say celiac disease can cause it, but the thought of Pancreatic Cancer scares me consantly.

What did you figure out with this?  Does anyone else also experience this?  I do.

Deezer,

I did not have elevated Lipase enzymes.

But I did have elevated ALT liver enzymes that got better on a gluten free diet.

To answer your question celiac can cause elevated lipase levels the same way it can elevate liver enzyme levels.

Here is the research on this topic entitled "Unexplained elevated serum pancreatic enzymes: a reason to suspect celiac disease."

Open Original Shared Link

according to the researchers finding's it can occur  in 1 of 4 celiacs.

quoting their conclusion.

CONCLUSIONS:

"We demonstrated a frequency of about 25% of elevated pancreatic enzymes values in celiac disease patients, including subjects without gastrointestinal manifestations and apparently asymptomatic subjects. The finding of elevated serum amylase or lipase level, in the absence of signs of pancreatic disease, would appear to suggest a need to screen for celiac disease".

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

2 Timothy 2: 7  “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things”, this included.

Posterboy by the grace of God,

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?
    • Connie Smitj
      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?
