Celiac And Porphyrins

If you have Celiac Disease and you eat gluten will that elevate your porphyrin levels? I just got diagnosed with celiacs and just got lab results back. The lady who called me was just a receptionist and knew nothing about medical so she couldn't answer any questions. I don't go to the doctor for eight more days and I am really freaked out. She said my porphyrin levels are elevated. So I was wondering if Celiac causes this? Or if it's more likely that I have porphyria. I am scared. Any help?

Could you define porphyrins for us? Then it might be easier to answer and help. :)

Porphyrins are complex molecules in the body that combine with iron to produce heme, which is responsible for giving blood its red color and combines with globin to form hemoglobin. Besides delivering oxygen through the body

Can you call your doctor's office back and ask to talk to a nurse? Tell them your freaked out and what your concerns are. I think a call back to a nurse might set your mind at ease.

      Cross-contamination?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi All, I am on gluten free diet almost 1,5 year now and i have question regarding cross contamination.  If you are cross contaminated or unintentionally glutened for example  1-3 day with small stupid things like for instances you drank tea which does not have gluten free sticker) does this mean you will get almost instantly marsh 3b VA or any kind villious atrophy? Thanks!

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By Dr. Elizabeth · Posted

      Got so sick from the English muffins as well. I have had no problem with any of the gluten-free products at Trader Joe’s since I was diagnosed with celiac a couple years ago so I was so surprised when I got so sick on the muffins. It had to be the gluten in the muffins because there was nothing else to blame it on.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.
