It seems just about anything can be related to celiac disease.  My hemoglobin levels are always just below range due to Thalassemia.  So, you can have more than one type of anemia or blood disorder.  I would not worry if your labs are consistent.  The body has a marvelous way of adapting.  Who knows?  Maybe you were meant to live in the Swiss Alps.    Bet you can ski better than me!  ⛷

Hello Everyone: I had a traumatic fall in 2013 which brought forth Celiac in 2014 and in 2015 I had a colon resection and my whole life changed. Unlike most I gained weight from a size 4 to a 16. In 2017 I had a stroke with 6 clots in my brain and 1 in my leg. Was discovered I have Factor V. Leiden mutation B (r506q), which is a blood thicking disorder.

Having the traumatic fall caused these autoimmune diseases to surface. The celiac disease is the hardest one to deal with because of socializing with friends and family. I feel I am in the way and that to most gulten is a fad. Depression is ever present..

Welcome Vicki!  

I am glad you found us!  We might not ever get to meet in person, but I think you will find us to be a supportive group.  

You have been through a lot!  Is there a specific question that we can address?  

Socializing can be difficult, but not impossible.  I usually order a drink when I go out.  I always bring some food along with me.  Often, I excuse myself to eat a snack packed in my car.  Other times I bring my own food to parties.  My friends are getting used to my new quirky ways.   Instead of meeting for coffee, I am now suggesting a walk.  Most friends are really enjoying it because being together is the goal.

I have had 7 DVTs from age 15-55 and have one right now, it is very discouraging to have this chronic issue, but I don't let it stop me from the work I do.  I've also had some digestive issues over the years and in 2008 went gluten free for a couple of months due to severe intestinal distress, well you know certain foods you eat and grow up with call your name and at that time I was feeling better and I started eating the same old foods again.  So back in Feb. 2018 I had another DVT, after not having one for 24 yrs. it reared it's ugly head again and now in July 2018 the 7th one.  I think we get so used to what we think is normal that we don't always recognize that what we think is normal really isn't normal.  I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with extremely low Vitamin D and Low iron and am anemic to the point that it's not a good situation, so on to the supplements I go, but I'm also on Warfarin and the doctor keeps accusing me of skipping doses, I tell him I'm not and yet at 8mg. can't regulate me for nothing. I'm beginning to think it's a malabsorption issue and that besides the warfarin not absorbing properly neither are the vitamins that I'm so deficient in. I started taking B12 shots and wow I felt so much better and even the muscle aches and pains were reduced because my daily supplements likely were not getting absorbed.   So my son said to me the other day, Mom, do you think there could possibly be some correlation to the DVTs you keep having and your Gluten intolerance.  I said, I have no idea so googled it, WOW, I couldn't believe all the articles and some studies.  So today went shopping and bought a bunch of gluten free products of which I have a love hate relationship with, but at this point my health is critical and I've got to do it. This will be so hard because I buy top quality high end bread and gourmet products that are so darn good and gluten free leaves something to be desired.  I do like some of the gluten free crackers though. I will force myself to get used to it. (suck it up sunshine)  I see my hematologist on Tues. and will address this but I am on to something I'm sure. With this many DVT's over the last 40yrs. I do worry my life will be cut short or I will end up incapacitated and handicapped.  I feel I may be on the road to the right diagnosis, so many previous Genetic tests done to try and find out what my 'problem' is, one doctor said, 'oh you're just a clotter', but offered no options to figure out why. Only by my own investigations and searches have I found some glimmer of hope to discover what the heck is going on.

Hi, I had a clot on my lung 3 years ago, no explanation, I've been diagnosed with celiac disease since early 2010 and have been on a strict diet ever since. Celiac has damaged my nervous system down my left side, not sure if that has anything to do with it, just another weird but not so wonderful spin off from having celiac disease.

About 10 years ago I developed clots in both lungs which led to the discovery that I have a clotting disorder known as Factor 5 Leiden. It's genetic so not connected with my celiac disease, at least not directly. I have a paternal uncle who has Factor 5 as well and another uncle on that side who was diagnosed with celiac disease. Typically, clots in the lungs originate in the lower leg, which was the case in my experience.

Although these articles are older, they are interesting and discuss lung issues and celiac disease:

      Son recently got diagnosed with Celiac disease

      By ShRa · Posted

      My son, 13 had been complaining about the tummy aches since past few days. He lost quite a bit of weight in past few months. We thought it's because he has been playing soccer alot recently and also is not much intereseted in junk these days.  His doctor ordered Celiac panel with a few other bloodwork. Here are the results: TTG Ab,IgA | Normal value: <15.0 u/mL | Value: 104.2 IgA is normal Gliadin DGP Ab IgA is normal His PCP told us that he need to stop eating gluten right away as he has been diagnosed with celiac disease and has been now referred to specialist for further advise. I'm trying to understand gluten free diet and this disease further.  Any guidance on how to proceed now and what to expect would be appreciated

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      First off, I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve been facing, both with your recent celiac concerns and the dermatitis you've been dealing with. It’s clear you’ve put in a lot of effort to figure this out, and it’s frustrating to still have lingering questions. Regarding your TTG-IgA result of 11.6 U/mL, you’re correct that many labs and celiac experts consider values above 10 to be indicative of possible celiac disease. However, interpretation can vary depending on the lab and the individual. It’s worth noting that slightly elevated levels can also sometimes occur with other autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. However, since you already have Hashimoto's and a strong family history of celiac (your daughter’s diagnosis), the most likely explanation is that you also have celiac disease. Here are a few steps you might consider to gain peace of mind: Consult a Gastroenterologist: They have more expertise in celiac diagnostics than a general PCP. They may recommend additional tests like an EMA (endomysial antibody) test or even genetic testing to confirm your predisposition further. Consider a Small Intestinal Biopsy: If there’s uncertainty, a biopsy remains the gold standard for celiac diagnosis. It can provide clarity, especially since your TTG-IgA is borderline. Monitor Symptoms on a Gluten-Free Diet: Since you already have another autoimmune condition and a chronic rash (which could resemble dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin manifestation of celiac disease), some doctors might suggest trying a strict gluten-free diet for a few months under supervision. If you notice a marked improvement, it might be telling. Keep in mind that if you go on a gluten-free diet before an endoscopy/biopsy, you will need to do a gluten challenge and eat lots of gluten daily for at least two weeks before the biopsy. As for your genetic results from 23andMe, having two copies of a celiac-associated gene (HLA-DQ2 or DQ8) does increase your risk of developing celiac disease considerably. However, about 30-40% of the general population carries these genes, and only a small percentage actually develop the disease. The genetic predisposition combined with your elevated TTG-IgA and symptoms could justify further investigation. Lastly, regarding your chronic "dermatitis," it might be worth bringing up the possibility of dermatitis herpetiformis to a dermatologist familiar with celiac disease. This condition is often misdiagnosed as eczema or another dermatitis type and may not respond well to typical creams. A skin biopsy taken near (not on) an affected area can help diagnose it.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By BertoleAmur · Posted

      I’ve been gluten-free for a while too, and I know how frustrating it can be when your body reacts unexpectedly. I haven’t personally experienced what you’re describing with Ozempic, but I did have a situation where I took a break from certain supplements and noticed my body felt a lot better.

      Muscle Twitching

      Two of our moderators @knitty kitty and @Wheatwacked know a lot more about nutrients and may be able to offer some more help, so hopefully they will chime in here.

      Muscle Twitching

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      Hi Scott, thanks for the reply.    I’m currently taking  3000IU vitamin D3 centrum multivitamin  500mg vitamin C 1000mcg B12 naturemade softgel Omega 3 (for dry eyes) My latest labs for vitamins were D - 43.6 (range 30-100) B12 - 406 (range 232-1245) Folate - 11.4 (range >3.0) ferritin - 117 (30-400) magnesium - 2.3 (1.6-2.3) Calcium - 9.9 (8.7-10.2)   I am 29 and really struggling with this emotionally, I was caught by surprise 2.5months ago with this dx and pretty much no symptoms that I really knew of besides low ferritin. When I first met with the GI doctor in July and he ordered the endoscopy/colonoscopy, that was around when the twitching started. I’m unsure if it’s the anxiety of it all (I have been consistently freaking out since the scopes were ordered, losing sleep, obsessively googling etc.) or if it’s celiac related. I’m horrified that I might have something else wrong with me.  Additionally, I’ve been getting some mixed opinions - dietician told me to stop the additional b12 because my multi had b12, but I see online that some people think b12 levels should be well over 500.    Some other things that I’ve experienced since I went gluten free are more “sinus” headaches, facial pressure, some cramping in my left side (could be postural problems I’m dealing with) and dry eyes - my eye doctor has me on some eyes drops that really help and this is a work in progress. And no my mouth isn’t dry too 😅   I’m absolutely beside myself with fear of other AI diseases and have no one I can really turn to (besides online) that has dealt with this. I have no idea what’s in my mind and what is a real symptom anymore because I’m so hyper aware of every sensation in my body! Thank you so much in advance for any input/guidance.
