Chron's Related To Celiac?

I was diagnosed with Celiac in Nov. 2010. I still have a lot of bloating and gas and wonder if I might have Chron's as well. When the Dr does an endosocopy for Celiac (I had one) can they also detect Chron's at the same time? I don't really want to be diagnosed with another intestinal issue, but I wonder if I have something else besides Celiac. The last few days I feel so gassy...like there's pressure in my upper abdomen and it can't escape. It's awful.

Does anyone here have Chron's? I just researched some info and it sounds like Chron's is very similar to Celiac.

They can go hand in hand together.

The pressure in your upper abdomen and gassy feeling could also be a stomach ulcer...hmm.

THey don't just do an endo for crohn's, they do things like colonoscopy, barium tests, xrays etc etc.

The two diseases share a common gene. However, I'm wondering if you might simply be sensitive to another food, such as dairy or soy. Many celiacs can't eat one or the other (or both). For me, soy makes me feel bloated and gassy, and then I end up having diarrhea.

Have you tried eliminating other foods yet?

Lately I feel like everything makes me gassy! I think soy and dairy sometimes makes me gassy. EVERYTHING makes me gassy. I think I should just drink water and eat rice. lol

This was my thought also. If you have an intolerance your issue may not show up quickly but appear a up to a week later. So if you are eating something you have an intolerance to a couple times a week it could make you feel ill constantly because you are still reacting when you add in another dose of it.

You may want to go with a very clean, unprocessed diet and eliminate both for a bit and then if problems resolve add each back in one at a time for at least a week and then see if the problem returns.

Hello,

The doctors could detect Crohn's disease if it is in the area of the endoscopy. However, Crohn's disease can happen anywhere along the digestive track. My brother has Crohn's disease so they did a colonoscopy at the same time as the endoscopy to check and make sure there was nothing else going on in addition to the Ceilac. I have GERD symptoms that are like what you describe. I didn't know that it was GERD before going to the doctor as I had never thought about something like that.

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: 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:

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
