Another Celiac Patient Joining The Group! Labs Came Out Positive

:( Hi friends! I was on the forum last week and the week before suspecting Celiac after my doctor I went to see because of getting sick alot with my intestines and he ordered labs and I am scheduled tomorrow for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. He wanted to check for Celiac.

My labs were positive! And he did confirm Celiac Disease. I ordered the grocery shopping guide and am glad I did. It will be very helpful in helping me get well again. I was hoping I wouldn't have to have the other two tests but because of my age and cancer running in my family, he still wants to check me out really good. I got some major damage and have been this way for years never knowing it was Celiac. And have been a very sick female! 27 years I have suffered with this mess and went from doctor to doctor complaining. Now it is official! I have Celiac!

Thank-you so much for helping me! Now I have to learn all about this disease and how to control it by stopping all glutens!

Another thank-you to Lisa for getting me in the forum and telling me all about Celiac! My sister took her son in yesterday because he has been sick for two years now. Poor boy has been vomiting for 3 weeks and gets headaches all the time. Plus he has other things going on. We are just about positive he too has Celiac. Then my mother to is having the same problems. She has been sick for alot longer than me!

Thanks to Lisa for guiding me in the right path! Those labs came in handy and now I am officially a Celiac Patient!

This site really gave me alot of help and I appreciate everybody that took the time to help me!

God bless!

What a relief!! And not that I hope other family members of yours have it, but if they do, you can ALL get healthy together. :) And eat at each others houses without worry. There are blessings along with the curse. May you find them all!

Linda,

Welcome to the Club! ;)

I am so glad you found the right path toward recovery. The theme around here and nationwide is "Celiacs Helping Celiacs", so pay it forward and reach out to others. Your family looks like a great place to start. :)

You have exciting days ahead, full of recovery and good health. I'd be willing to bet you will be seeing improvement in your other issues and your diagnosis of Lupus may be reversed.

Best of health to you and looking forward to seeing you here!

Congrats on your diagnosis. It's a great relief to put a name to your seemingly disjointed problems and finally have an action plan. I was so relieved and grateful. I know you are on an exciting journey to improved health. Have a healthy holiday and New Year!!

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly. A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly. It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease. B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. No...

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly.  A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly.  It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease.  B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted in urine.  Tingling in feet and hands is symptomatic of deficiencies in B vitamins like thiamine, Pyridoxine, and niacin. September 19 2025, "Your daughter needs to be checked for Vitamin B12 deficiency as soon as possible!   The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia can precipitate a B12 deficiency resulting in severe depression.  Please have her checked immediately! The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia (both gas and injected anesthesia) bind irrevocably with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12.  This precipitates a B12 deficiency in people with a low B12 level.  This can happen immediately, within days or weeks or months depending on B12 stores.    I've had medical procedures that required anesthesia and been struck down by deep dark depression and uncontrollable crying immediately, and also within weeks of the exposure.  My doctor put me on antidepressants which only made things worse.  Antidepressants don't correct a vitamin deficiency.   Please have her checked for B12 deficiency as soon as possible!"

      Hi  Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. Not sure if it was Ferritin levels they did. History of haemochromatosis in family , my husband has it and other daughter is a carrier. She still has a few more blood tests to be taken including Vit D levels. Has had deficiency in that last year and had 6 month course as had back pain and tingling in feet and hands. Anyway thank you everyone for all your previous replies and help!!!!

      Ijmartes71 I  son't think you are crazy by any psycoligical s=defination but you are obsessive. you may have considerable brain fog  , a problem that affects celiacs and many other people. . With this obsession you have abd being braun dogged you arw not abke to take any advice people are giving you to help you. To take advice you need to reduce your anxieties abd think more clearly. .Stop taking your herbs for at least one week because some of them will have side ellectsif you take them too long. You can add them back if you don't notice any good changes. Be more careful about being strictly gluten free.
