Lactose Intolerance Tes

I had the lactose breath test today and it was strongly positive with methane production. I feel like I did on gluten. Out of it, sick, sore side, hypoglycemic. Do you think this an indication of the intestinal damage? I am waiting for Enterolab testing and blood genetic testing with total A (he couldn't do more because I am gluten-free and don't want to go back to that gluten feeling again). Great doctor. Didn't want me to go back on gluten either and will accept positive genetic profile as a positive test. Boy am I glad I found you all. Thanks!

It's hard to say that it could be a sign of intestinal damage - plenty of people naturally can't digest lactose as an adult. (Actually, in the world as a whole, it's more common to be lactose intolerant as an adult than be able to tolerate it.) You can always try again in a few months (maybe four or five?) and see how it goes then.

Here is a question for you. The gp did reticulin, anti-glaindin, and tissue transglutaminase, but on day 21 gluten-free. My asthma specalist thinks with the lactose test positive and the blood work negative (day 21 not long enough to change tests) I must be negative for gluten intolerance. But would you think it could just be lactose if you stopped having: constipation, bleeding, pain, hypoglycemia, circles under your eyes, burping, congestion deep in chest, voice loss, circular bruising...? I wait anxiously for the gene testing. What do you think about it only being lactose? Thank you!!

I don't know about all that coming from just lactose intolerance, but - depending on how fast you heal and how long you had been gluten-free and how much antibodies you produce and how the labs read the tests - 21 days gluten-free might have been long enough for you to end up testing negative. You might try to find out what your actual values were.

It's said that for a test to come back positive you need to be on gluten. That could very well be enough time that went by without gluten to make it come back negative. Lactose intolerance can come with celiac due to damage to the villi so I would not rule out celiac quite yet if I were you.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By trents · Posted

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
