Question About Celiac

I have a question here. Is it possible for some days to feel just fine and then other days to feel horrible? Some days I feel awful, but other days I feel just fine. I am not sure if I have celiac yet, but I did go to the Doctors and got blood work done and am having an endoscopy in 2 weeks. I do pretty much have all the symptoms. In a way I hope I have it, so I can finally figure out what is wrong with me. I have been dealing with this way to long. Thanks.

I really can not answer you question but you are not alone! I have had the blood test and the endoscopy, my blood test came back with only 1 antibody positive and the biopsy came back negative. My dr said the I do not have celiac. But like you I too have many of the symptoms, I think that either I am gluten intolerant or I am just now devloping celiac. I have for many years had trouble with my stomach on and off, I would have a few months when I would have problems then they would go away for a few months. Now it seems that everytime I eat now I get bloated and just feel bad, but that did not start until after I went to the dr to try to find out what was going on with me. So I think that I am just going to start the gluten free diet and see how it goes. I too was hoping that the test would come back positive so atleast then I would know what it was and what to do about it. Sorry I can not answer your question but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and it was good for me to see your post so I now know that I am not alone either! I hope they can find what is wrong with you so you can start feeling better.

unfortunately, plain ol' gluten intolerance doesn't show up on a blood test. But that doesn't mean that you couldn't benefit from a gluten free diet anyway. Celiac disease is the advanced stage of gluten intolerance, and by the time you actually test positive for Celiac disease, the damage is done. Some damage is potentially irreversible. So my advice would be, even if you have a negative test result, just try going gluten free for a few weeks. If you feel better, it is likely you have gluten intolerance, and the only way to avoid Celiac disease is to not consume gluten.

      Fibrin glue

      By trents · Posted

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them.

      Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten?  I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer.  Thanks, Tammie

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event. As I said, I would visit with your doctor over this and I would ask to get that checked again in the near future after your back pain and cold have been resolved for a time.

      @knitty kitty Hi there, All my other bloods were within normal limits, though my iron has always been just a couple from being below range. Physio thought I had Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she sent a letter to my doctor but doctor said i don't have it. I've only had stomach issues for 1.5 years. About 4 years ago I lost a tonne of weight (I did go through a really traumatic experience at that time which I got c-ptsd from) then 2.5 years ago I put all the weight back on plus 14kg and all within 6 weeks. I went up 3 clothing sizes. Bloat up like I'm  months pregnant. Pins and needles, aching joints and muscles, major forgetfulness and brain fog. Only get about 5 hrs sleep, urinate every hour day or night. Nausea and bad belly pain and rashes. No diarrhea though. It all just seemed to come out of no where. It's crazy and I'm getting no answers. Biopsy getting done it 2 days.

      @Travel Celiac, Doing a happy dance with you!!!  You're doing very well!!!  Kudos for being a rescuer!  Hip Hip Hooray! Yes, strenuous exercise can raise your IgA, as can viral infections like the common cold or Covid.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9574171/ Do discuss with your doctor the nutritional deficiencies that frequently occur in Celiac Disease and on the gluten free diet.  Deficiencies in zinc, iron, the B vitamins, Vitamin C and Vitamin D can all affect your ability to fight off viruses and repair stressed muscles.
