A hida(Heptato Iminodiacetic Acid) scan or cholescintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging procedure that evaluates the health and function of the gallbladder and tracks the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine.

OP, it's not that uncommon for people with celiac/gluten intolerence to have problems with their gallbladders and liver.

Too true Roda, there is a website that lists 300 associated symtoms and they are both some of them.

true, true Roda. No gall bladder here. Liver enzymes off and liver swelling pre- DX--but back to normal now.

Oh i'm not screaming to get off the diet. I'm sticking to it for at least 3 months regardless of the celiac panel results. It's actually not a bad diet for me any how. I ate WAY too much pasta and breads before. Now I'm still eating gluten free alternatives but i eat them far less often and i eat a LOT more veggies and fruits than I used to which is defiantly good for me.

I'm eating fairly normal now, (still kinda small) but I'm not gaining all the weight back because it's not all starches and carbs like i used to eat.

I am finding some nice alternatives. BTW anyone in DFW Texas area, Aleda's Pizza in Southlake make really nice gluten-free pizza.

@Kareng - I haven't had an actual sit down with the gastro since they took the celiac panel and did the sonograms. Just phone calls from office assistants. I will not be leaving the office, when i do have one, without copies of everything. (I am an annoying and assertive patient)

Good for you! They will probably give you what you want just to get you out of there! ;)

I was just reading your posts, and saw that you were to have testing done in January. I was curious how that turned out for you. My daughter has been in pain for years and we are finally going to see a ped. gastro the end of the month, for the first time. We had already this week started her on the way to gluten free stuff.. but now I'm worried about testing coming back as a false negative. I don't even know what to expect on this upcoming visit really, since it will be our first time there. I just hope they are a good office, because it took me a couple weeks of looking to find a ped. gastro office, and they are at least 50 miles away. :(

HIDA scan shows my gallbladder operates at 100% efficiency... I could have sworn this was gallbladder.

Celiac panel came back negative. my result was IgA <2 U/mL with 0-3 being negative, 4-10 being weak positive, and >10 being positive.

Due to a job loss testing is on hold till i have insurance again.... but as long as I eat mild things tend to stay pretty calm these days and it is less of a pain and more of a mild pressure / annoyance.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By Juliana82 · Posted

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.
