Well, I haven't posted in awhile because I have been sick for weeks...till they finally found out that the problem was my Gall Bladder..

It all started over 3 weeks ago with vomiting, diarrhea,Fever, chills and slight abdominal pain...I thought it was a virus and just let it pass...but I never felt right after that...bloating and pain...and then I had a repeat performance just before xmas and ended up in the ER dehydrated...Had an ultrasound the next day and they finally realized I had a huge gall stone and inflammed Gall Bladder...Well that Gall Bladder came out the next morning...I am still hobbling around and very tired...but otherwise...I survived...I am miffed they sent me home and didn't admit me the second time...I was sent home, without the ultrasound, without a diagnosis...in pain, vomiting, and miserable...

HOW COMMON IS GALL BLADDER TROUBLE AND CELIAC DISEASE....I vaguely remember reading something about a connection?

Thanks....

I'm glad they finally realized what it was. Hopefully you will have a quick recovery and be feeling better soon. It does seem quite a few of us do have, or have had, gallbladder issues. I wonder if the fact we don't digest fat prediagnosis has something to do with it. I really don't know though.

Feel better soon.

      Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
