Not Many Symptoms

Do any of you have celiac without many symptoms? I had positive tgg iga and igg and am awaiting an endoscopy. I have bloating, fatigue, but that's really about it. I'm wondering if my biopsy will even show anything since i don't have many symptoms. Thanks

You might be lucky and caught it before it flattens you.

Actually the number of symptoms doesn't seem to correlate with positive biopsies. Many people never knew they had Celiac at all due to having no symptoms but their biopsy came up positive. There is something called Silent Celiac where no symptoms are felt subjectively by the person with Celiac, yet they have the damage consistent with Celiac.

Other people have all kinds of symptoms and yet they test negative...go figure.

Sometimes, after you have been on a gluten free diet for awhile, then accidentally eat the stuff, you have so many symptoms, you wondered how it is that the rest of the world managed to convince you that feeling "this lousy" is "normal."

Thanks for your input. Maybe i do feel symptoms sometimes and i just don't relate them to gluten. This afternoon i felt like just crap. So tired, headache, foggy. And i did have a bunch of wheat thins with lunch so maybe it was related.

I never had GI symptoms except for the three days before I went to the doctor. I was waking up in the middle of the night with terrible abdominal pains, but other than that - nothing. Battled with anemia, syncope, and acid reflux for a while, but I never knew it had anything to do with the Celiac until after I was diagnosed. I was able to basically eat anything with no apparent issues and had no idea that my insides were being torn up. HOWEVER, now that I'm gluten free, I've become pretty sensitive to gluten and got terribly sick after eating gluten free gummy bears that were made in a facility that also processed wheat....go figure - NOW I have issues! :)

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods.

      Dawn, are you diligent with the gluten free diet? When were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I am on Otzela for my psoriasis an psoriasis arthritis.  They tried pretizon and I got sick on it. ( the doctor at urgent care). Need to see my doctor but he seems puzzled by me. My celiac disease is unresponsive and my numbers are off the chart.  ( 2nd testing went higher but Mayo said they might never go down because I have it so bad) Came back home considering going back to Mayo.

      Hi I have celiac disease and the dermatitis herpetiformis rash Also other autommune diseases.  I have had bad side effects to all the vaccines I have had and now my Doctor wants me to have the pneumonia vaccine.  I am concerned because of some of the bad side effects I have had in the past example Hep B after shot couldn't  move arm for several months.  Flu shot and COVID was sick right after shot. Told not to get anymore. My lung is inflamed and have a cough I can't seem to get rid of. Very concerned 😟.
