Any Relationship Between Celiac And Paget's?

I have Celiac disease. It was just diagnosed in this summer (altho I have been sick for 16 years...it has been a blessing to finally figure out what the problem was). I am fairly certain that it comes from my dads side of the family (based on their medical histories), but he will not get tested. His brother, my uncle, was just diganosed with Paget's Disease. Has anyone out there seen any correlation between Celiac and Paget's? I am kind of hoping that if there is, maybe THEN my dad will get tested. Thanks!

I don't know about Padget's Disease, but osteoporosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia and similar issues are quite common.

bumping? Anyone?

I have had a headache since 1999 (everyday, 24/7). I was hoping, after the Celiac diagnosis and 100% gluten-free diet, it would go away. It hasnt. I was wondering if there is a link between Celiac and pagets.

I'm so sorry to hear about your constant headaches. I wish I could take them away. :( Maybe more time free from gluten will eventually do it. Let's hope so.

I am the only one in my family who has tested or who is even interested in being tested. So even though there are others in my family who are likely blessed with gluten sensitivity too, we may never know. Anyway, my father has definite Paget's. I have asked my doctor and he hasn't heard of any connection. But he isn't very well read on the subject of gluten, unfortunately either. There are lots of other bone and cartilage related issues in my family scattered about as well. But I'm sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer.

Personally, I do think there may very well be a connection between Pagets's and gluten issues. Just my opinion.

Thanks! All of my other "issues" have gone away on the gluten-free diet...and I feel SO much better, so I am happy. I keep HOPING that the headaches will go away eventually, but after 6months, I am not so sure. So, I am keeping Pagets in the back of my head (no pun intended) since my uncle has it and Pagets can cause headaches. I am going to see a doc more versed in Celiac in Jan and I will ask if he know of any Celiac/Pagets connections. I will post if he thinks there is. Thanks for your post.

I think you're smart to keep this idea in mind and pay attention to your symptoms. Celiac can explain a lot, but it doesn't explain everything.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism. Since then I've figured out I'm intolerant to gluten and corn and have low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria). I was also diagnosed with halo nevi, rosacea, and chronic dry eyes... I'm planning to get the blood test for Sjogren's antibodies later this month.

Gosh, that is a lot to deal with! Hope you feel better soon!

It is a lot to deal with...

The thing is, I had SO many warning signs. Some of them I thought were just "normal" for me... dandruff, hair loss, feeling cold all the time, constipation, dry skin. Others symptoms (abdominal pain, heartburn, fatigue, depression, joint pain) I chalked up to being pregnant three times in four years and losing one child. Other things doctors knew about... low blood pressure, heavy periods, acne, weight gain, slow heart rate, dry eyes... but nobody put the pieces together! I was only able to do it once I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (a total fluke... I was just looking for a new primary care doctor). Autoimmune disorders seem to be like that. You can be half dead before someone notices. Anyway... now I'm doing a LOT of reading and really paying attention to the signs my body is giving me :) I could have gone months or years without getting these other diagnoses.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not...

      Mucus discharge

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free? Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months...

      Confused with test results

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Tums is an antacid. Calcium (also vitamin D) need it acidic for absorption, so you're not really getting any calcium benefit. Try DGL, it coats rather than counteracts acid. You need acid anyway to digest and get those vitamins. It's usually not too much acid that causes heartburn, it's not enough acid which causes food to rot and ferment in the stomach...

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. 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.

Try DGL, everyone I've gotten to actually try it has had great relief. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IAJW0K

      We usually see mucus in the stool in those with undiagnosed celiac disease and those not adhering to a gluten free diet. However, the mucus could also be coming from lower down in the intestinal track. I would seek a physician consult. You might also check into getting a follow-p endoscopy/biopsy on the small bowel to check for healing progress since going gluten free.
