Do I Possibly Have Celiac's Disease?

Hi,

I know nobody here are doctors but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I gave up smoking in January 2013 and shortly after developed what seemed like a urine infection. After five negative tests, I came to believe I had Interstitial Cystiss. My symtoms are frequent urination, slight burning feeling before and after peeing.

Noticed I had a white tongue (which for five months I was told was not Candida) but tested last week as positive for it.

Sleep problems now lasting five months (constant) can fall asleep ok but wake after 4 hours and then can only sleep another hour. I often wake up sweating and seem quite red in the face.

Urgent bowel movements upon waking. Not quite diarrhoea but very loose. 

I have noticed that if I eat bread my stools are more frequent. If I don't for a few days then I still have an urgent need to go in the morning but it is not so loose (sorry for the TMI).

Also need to go more often in the day if I eat bread.

Feel fatigued but this could be lack of sleep.

Also get a burning sensation in my hands and feet.

I never had any problems until I was 44 and gave up smoking.

My vitamin D levels are fine

Not peri menopausal

Thyroid is fine

B12 is good

Been seen by a neurologist and rheumatologist

Does this seem like gluten intolerence to anyone.

The sleep issues are really getting to me

Oh and I have been suffering from anxiety too

It sounds like you should be tested for celiac.  You wouldn't want to continue with these discomforts if you didn't have to.  I hope you will get some definitive answers about the root of your problems that can be managed!

 

Get well  ***

A white tongue usually means you have candida (yeast). Probiotics and yogurt might help with that. I've found that everyone on our Forum has additional medical problems. My naturopath says mine all seem to be connective tissue disorders on top of the celiac. Feel free to PM me any time.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
