Cross contamination
Scott Adams replied to Soniacordova's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just like how celiac disease symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, so can the reaction to gluten or cross-contamination after or during recovery. Many celiacs have little or no symptoms, but this does not mean that the damage and risk to their health is not going on just because the symptoms are not obvious. In the past people in the no... -
So I assume that her diet is 100% gluten-free now, but am not sure what you mean when you say that she sometimes gets upset and hurts herself. Does she sneak gluten? Please explain.

Blood work- celiac
Scott Adams replied to Cltrimble's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It’s positive, and does it give you the positive range for this result as >250 ? Since you were referred to a gastro I suspect your doctor wants to follow up on this result with a biopsy. Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all tests are finished. -

Gluten sensitivity and Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Scott Adams replied to amine33's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Sure, you may also consider getting a celiac disease blood panel around the same time. If you have DH, you will most likely also have celiac disease. -
Heart Palpitations
Scott Adams replied to Raphael's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I also had gastro issues but at that time I didn't make any connection between the perceived heart issues and those symptoms. Neither did the emergency room doctors. The vertigo heart thing went away after a few weeks on a gluten-free diet, but it took me almost two years to feel back to normal again. -
Heart Palpitations
Scott Adams replied to Raphael's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This was accompanied by vertigo and sometimes panic attacks, thus the "stress" diagnosis. I believe this is why celiacs are often misdiagnoses with mental issues because the symptoms can look similar to certain mental issues. -
Heart Palpitations
Scott Adams replied to Raphael's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Before I finally got diagnosed with celiac disease and was still eating gluten, I went to the emergency room ~3 times with what I thought was a heart attack (in my mid 20's). Of course it wasn't, and when they did EKG's on me all looked fine and they said it was just "stress." Of course that turned out to be wrong, and after I went gluten-free that feeling... -
Have I got gluten intolerance
Scott Adams replied to Knotty 25's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Can you tell us more what you mean by "Had a scan all okay"? Were you screened for celiac disease? If you do want to know for sure and get a blood test for celiac disease this article might be helpful. You need to keep eating gluten daily for 4-6 weeks before testing, and keep eating it until all tests are completed: -
Gluten sensitivity and Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Scott Adams replied to amine33's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Of course we could not actually diagnose you from this image and your post, however, your symptoms and the image are certainly consistent with DH, and to verify it you would need to keep eating gluten daily and go to a dermatologist who knows how to properly test you for it...that is, if you need an official diagnosis to help you stay gluten-free.

How I realized I had Celiac Disease
Scott Adams replied to MrPK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wow, that is quite a story. I'm glad you found our forum and it has helped you, and welcome! So hopefully you mean "gluten" and not just wheat, because gluten in also in rye and barley, and can be a hidden ingredient in many things that you should avoid on this list: -

I've not heard of a fever being a side-effect of a celiac eating gluten, but I don't doubt that you experienced it. It's possible it was coincidental and you had some other thing going on, but it's also possible that your immune system was sent into attack mode and was doing this as part of its response to protect you. It would be interesting to see...
