Mine is moderately high. My celiac symptoms are mainly atypical, though. My body is just weird for almost everything!

Mine is very high and also my triglycerides. I cannot take most of the meds for it either. I now use Welchol, fiber, and have had to start drinking a small glass of red wine regularly. This teetotaler is not used to that! At lest the numbers are looking better.

Apparently the celiac disease can cause problems with the liver and the cholesterol does not get handled properly in our bodies. That was the explanation that was given to me by the docs. My family history also has high cholesterol in it.

I am non-Celiac gluten intolerant and have had high cholesterol. When I have taken supplements that benefit my liver (licorice, turmeric, milk thistle, artichoke, bitters) I have improved my cholesterol levels. I was 240 total and my doc wanted me to start on a statin but I didn't like how it made me feel so I started taking supplements for my liver. I was already taking a good amount of fiber (psylliam, flax). 6 weeks after I started taking liver supplements, I got my cholesterol tested again and the total was 200.

I'm curious as to what it is now but have other, more pressing things to spend my health care dollars on so will probably wait until next year when my insurance budget is better.

PS my triglycerides, however, were awesome, under 70 each time.

My cholestrol was 259.................... and my triglycerides where triple what the norm is. My medical docor did put me on Zetia 10 mg daily and now it's down to 200 6 months later.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi everyone. I have a history of GI issues (gas, diarrhoea, pain, fatigue). In 2018 I had a a blood test that returned “weak positive” for Celiac (I don’t have access to this result) and in early 2018 I had an endoscopy. The dr said by appearance he believed it would be Celiac but biopsy said no. 2022 I had another blood test with results: Anti TTG IgA: 27 units (norm 0-20) high IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0) Endomysial antibodies: neg I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and had the same abnormal appearance but negative biopsies. All my dissachrides were low so I was referred on to a dietitian. I am still struggling with all my GI issues but now with nausea, brain fog and weakness/joint pain even following the low disaccharide diet with enzymes. I’m now pondering my previous results and see that all 3 low disaccharides can also be an indicator of Celiac. I’m struggling and so confused and wondering if anyone has any guidance or advice for me? Thank you

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ and unfortunately different celiacs have different trigger levels for gluten, and some celiacs have little or no symptoms at all when exposed to gluten.

      In people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger migraine headaches, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Barilla Gluten Free Pasta makes me sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, but anything is possible. It looks like their product contains Xanthan Gum, is it possible you have issues with Xanthan Gum?  https://www.maninis.com/products/4-cheese-tortelloni/ This article might be helpful:

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      ABP2025, there are no definitive diagnostic tests for NCGS. It is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease despite continuing symptoms from gluten ingestion.
