Anyone else have these annoying, persistent effects when you were just starting to go gluten-free? This has been a problem for a long time, and I thought it was thyroid (I was dx'ed hypo last summer), but it's been pronounced normal now, so is it a celiac thing? I am constantly clearing my throat and using eye drops, but I have no other signs of allergies. Any thoughts on how long it takes to let up??

My throat is a lot better----have to watch the sugar, cause it will cause reflux symptoms. Dry eyes haven't changed---I use prescription eye drops.

I'm not sure what to tell you. My sister and I both lost our voices long before going gluten free. We lost them for nearly an entire summer. Now we have these raspy voices, very similiar to each other, so much so, that when she leaves me a voicemail on my phone, I actually think I am listening to myself at first!!! That happened to us when our boys were in little league, and they are grown men now--we have both been gluten gree for 8 yrs.

As for the dry eye, I have suffered with that for about 2 yrs now. It's been really bad this last winter and spring. Maybe you should check into Sjogrens Disease. Read up on it. Allergies also cause dry eye and dry throat.

OMG...you lost your voice??!! That would kill me!! I sing constantly, and it's the only thing that keeps me from going over the edge most days. (Now Im wondering if that's what's happening to my son. He's nearly 14, so his voice is deepening, but it has a funky raspiness to it...actually, my brother's does, too. Hmm...)

Our kids were in heaven! :lol: They thought it wonderful, no yelling at them! Honest, it lasted all summer.

Now, men tell me it's a very sexy voice! :P

Dairy gives me the constant hurrrumph, makes me feel horrible, causes constipation and I am sure it has contributed to the dry eyes which do seem a bit better since I dropped both dairy and gluten.

I still get some catarrgh even without them both but I hope that will improve as my body finally gets rid of a lot of the crud it has been carting around for the last 50 years!

Nobody says how old they are, but dry eyes can be part of the natural aging process and . . . dare I say it . . . menopause.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
