Thank you Scott, that's really helpful. I'm curious, could you please elaborate on the reactions to foods like soy etc. I have been already diagnosed as lactose intolerant, my Dr said that may improve in time, but my reactions to diary are just a tiny bit of tummy upset. I react to soy also, but it isn't too extreme. I'm wondering if other food intolerances...
I'm really confused trying to track what causes my reactions because it seems that I don't get obvious symptoms for 24-48 hours after ingesting. I will feel some fatigue and allergy type symptoms/head fog for the first 24 hours, but not enough to say definitely glutened. Then I'll get gastro upset (yellow diharrea, stomach pain etc) which lasts for about...
Went to the doctor as I had glutened myself after 6 weeks successfully gluten free, had all of the gastro problems and hives, but worst of all though was the neurological symptoms, which were the reason I originally presented to get tested. Numb face, feeling drugged, slurring speech, weakness. Was told that "there is no way one time being glutened would...
Your symptoms, the unsteadiness, vision problems, memory problems etc etc, I had for about a year getting increasingly worse. I eventually had digestive upset that was like an unending tummy bug which is what I presented to my doctor with after three weeks of it. Celiac damage was marsh 3b. All that intestinal damage with only neurological symptoms for years...
I was only recently diagnosed, biopsy confirmed Marsh 3b. I am 26/F. 140lb
I have been very strictly gluten-free for only two months, I haven't eaten a single thing not prepared by myself (I work in health science and understand CC well).
Symptoms:
D/C , never normal, sometimes fatty, sometimes not
Hives, mostly at night, all over my body
...
Just before beginning my endoscopy the specialist told me he would be taking 4 biopsies (first and second portions of the duodenum), during the procedure he ended up taking 10, including at the bulb. However visually everything is within normal parameters.
I am just really curious as to why the Dr would have suddenly opted to take so many biopsies with...
Hello, I have been diagnosed from blood tests alone (strong ttg and dog) I will be having an endescopy soon to assess damage.
However, in the last year my iron levels have improved, without supplementation. My folate levels have always been stable, slight drop from 24 to 17 but within normal limits (5-45).
BUT despite regular b12 supplementation...
I am booked for an endoscopy in two weeks, and have worsening symptoms that align with celiac disease.
I've attached my blood results again. Just wondering if there is any chance I don't have celiac disease despite these results so far.
DPG: 41 Units (IgG) (0-20) A
Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA): 31 U/mL (0-4) H
Or is even small amounts of gluten enough to show the presence of disease?
So basically I got diagnosed by my doctor based on strong test results after a short stay in hospital, my dr has submitted a celiacs diagnosis as official. I still need a gastroscopy, to assess damage and check for bowel cancer (nbd she said I will get these routinely every 5...
Hello.
I recently got very sick with lots of symptoms noted with celiacs. My Dr said I will need an endescopy to assess damage, but that the blood test I received were highly specific, and she went ahead and diagnosed. I'm just wondering if there is any way this is wrong?
My esr and immature granulocytes were both high too. But iron and b12 were...
