- Captain173 replied to Captain173's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms4Confused with test results
Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels. I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific. -
- gailc replied to Yenni's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease28Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?
I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff. Symptom is like bronchitis. I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac. the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold. I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating. -

Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees. The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped. Also... -

3 year old gluten intolerance?
If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes. She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family. Do get her tested as sooon as you can. You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease. Children recover more quickly than adults. It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going... -

3 year old gluten intolerance?
Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing...

Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees. The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped. Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog. Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline. It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day. I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to 44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible. In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial. Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest. Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this. Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses. Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday. -

If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes. She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family. Do get her tested as sooon as you can. You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease. Children recover more quickly than adults. It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free. Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before. Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1. Our bodies do better at 3:1. Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free. We declined and lived to regret it. I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better. -

Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing a doctor. Bring videos of her behaviors if you can. Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge. This is an important time in her developement. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats. Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition. There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child. Get her healthy, then worry about validation later. Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems. Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only. Not true. There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics. Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
