Symptoms. Celiac?

I'm very new to this and only 17, lately I have been sick and it has been suggested by someone I know with Celiac to get tested for it. I am not completely convinced, but I definitely have almost all the associated symptoms of Celiac disease; the problem is the symptoms are so vague, they could be anything. I feel like the vagueness of symptoms is an issue for a number of people in considering Celiac disease or gluten intolerance as something they might have, so I hope by listing my symptoms and experiences with this as I find out what is wrong with me (doctor appointment tomorrow guessing blood tests to follow) it might be useful to others pre-diagnosis, whether these symptoms eventuate to Celiac disease or some other problem.

SYMPTOMS

(bear in mind I am currently studying year 12 which is my final and very stressful year, and am also finding stress through my parents divorce, stress is definitely a huge impactor on my symptoms)

- swelling of my left eyelids and bloodshot eye, swells to size of large golf ball, very uncomfortable.

- very gassy, constantly belching and hiccuping, stomach making all sorts of weird noises and constant stomach discomfort

- exhaustion and fatigue, often I just cry and cry and cry for no reason and spend most of my spare time sleeping

- I have a naturally small waist yet lately my stomach varies from flat to very swollen

- general aches and pains associated with most health problems - headaches, ear aches, joint pain

- bleeding gums when I brush my teeth or eat apples, and mouth ulcers quite regularly

- horrible sick feeling, like I have the worst flu of my life but no actual symptoms

- the feeling like something horrible is radiating from my stomach to my entire body like a poison

- constant uncontrollable eating, even when I feel like I couldn't fit in a sip of water, I still manage to continue eating and end up physically ill, never feel like food gives me

any energy or anything it just feels like empty weight

- no energy ever!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so if you're still reading I know some of these symptoms aren't t all Celiac symptoms, but that's my overall picture of health. I guess I'm hoping from this I might hear from people who have experienced similar things and what they have found, and I too will update this with news I receive as to what's wrong with me because I am determined to fix this I cannot keep living like this.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      One of the manifestations of celiac disease that some people experience is a rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis. It has little pustules in the center of the bumps. There is no other know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis other than celiac disease. If properly biopsied during an outbreak, dermatitis herpetiformis can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Not ever dermatologist knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis. But dermatitis herpetiformis is generally very itchy. Concerning the diarrhea and the sulfur burps, it certainly is possible the cause is something besides celiac disease or in addition to celiac disease. Many other health problems are known to be associated with celiac disease. I encourage you to look into MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance, SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth), H. pylori and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). And as I said earlier, there is always the possibility/probability that you are still getting gluten in your diet in unexpected ways.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply. Yep, the doctor made a mistake there for sure, but when my other doctor called she said I would wait for the referral to doctor for the gastro it can take months, and so long she thought it would be a good idea to stay gluten free.    I am really concerned about my problems tough and I don’t know if I am eating something with gluten to upset my stomach with the sulphur burps and dihareaa. I have also taken stool samples that I am going to leave on Friday this week and that’s another thing that I am worry about, if it shows something else. I mean, if am ”gluten free” why do I have problems with the stomach still? As I understand, the problem with dihareaa and other problems is when you get gluten in you by mistake for example?    I have this rashes to, going to try to upload them here.  Here is the link to the pictures of the rashes, it’s not itchy.      https://postimg.cc/gallery/p2N8kT7

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.
