ARCHIVED Possible Fructose Malabsorption?
pinkpandapants posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
So I've been trying for what seems like forever to figure out my stomach problems. For the past few months I thought that it might be Celiac, just because of all of my symptoms/problems put together (depression/anxiety, thyroid disease, eczema, stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea), but the blood tests came up negative and the biopsies from my endoscopy came... -
ARCHIVED Need Help After Endoscopy
pinkpandapants replied to pinkpandapants's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I have a TON of symptoms that have made me suspect Celiac - pretty bad digestion issues (including GERD), thyroid disease, eczema and depression/anxiety issues. I had ONE blood test done (TTG IgA) and that came back negative, but then I was referred to a gastroenterologist and she wanted me to get the endoscopy. I haven't tried going gluten-free yet... -
ARCHIVED Need Help After Endoscopy
pinkpandapants posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just had an upper endoscopy yesterday, and they said so far that everything LOOKED normal. They took biopsies of course, and I still have two weeks or so to wait for those results. My question is, could it be Celiac if my stomach, intestines, etc. LOOK normal? Because I know that Celiac causes the villi of the intestines to flatten... doesn't it? Or can... -
I went to my doctor last week because I suspected Celiac disease, and she ordered just one test for me, the TTG IgA one. I got my results today and my levels are at 3.42, where less than 20 is negative. So that's a very obvious negative, and I eat gluten like nobody's business (I love bread, it just doesn't love me)! But I guess that that one test alone...

ARCHIVED Celiac Or Something Else?
pinkpandapants replied to pinkpandapants's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So I went to my new doctor today, and she was awesome! She ordered just one Celiac test for me, the tTG-IgA. Is that one generally pretty accurate? I'm still new to all of this Celiac terminology, haha. My doctor also referred me to an allergist (because I have a whole lot of other food problems going on) and said that we'd figure out what to do gluten-wise... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Or Something Else?
pinkpandapants posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello! I recently have been looking into the possibility of having Celiac disease, and stumbled upon this forum. After lurking for a bit, I thought I'd share my symptoms and see what other people think. I was originally just looking into food intolerance in general, because a LOT of foods disagree with me. I've toyed with the idea that I may be intolerant...
