Celiac Disease And Myathenia Gravis

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago and have been glutenfree since then - I do not feel any better today than I did then - maybe even worse. New symptoms - For the past 2 months I have been having one eye nearly close on me - I have no control of it. It droops for just a minute or two. I do not think this is related to celiac disease - what do you think? I have been looking online and see that many of the symptoms for myathenia gravis fit for me - is there a connection between celiac disease and MG?

Did you only drop gluten, or did you drop other foods also? I'm asking that because I am wondering if, due to the fact you haven't seen any improvement, whether other foods have been preventing your gut from healing.

Many diagnosed with Celiac also find that they have issues with other foods, commonly soy, corn and dairy, but anything can be an antagonist. Have you tried an elimination diet at all?

Myasthenia Gravis is yet another autoimmune disease that can be due to malabsorption and deficiencies within cells in the body. If your gut has not been healing then the malabsorption will only get worse.

Have you tried supplementing with any vitamins or minerals since going gluten-free?

      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal...

      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients.

      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
