Celiac diagnosis

Hello,

I had surgery to remove the bladder 3 months ago, and when I turned 40 days of surgery began to feel thoracic pain. The doctor requested the tests IgG gliadin antibody, IgA, IgG endomysial all positivized. It is possible that these antibodies suffer change immediately after surgery gallbladder but non-celiac patient is? As if my body was to rebalance after surgery?

It appears that surgery is one thing that can trigger Celiac disease.

 

Just want to add - once you have Celiac , you always have Celiac.  It isn't an "imbalance" and can't be reversed.  The only current treatment for Celiac disease is a gluten free diet.

Hi Viviane,

No, the antibodies to gliaden are learned by the immune system.  They won't be forgotten by the immune system ever.  The antibodies to gliaden are specific to the protein gliaden that is part of wheat protein.  Once learned, the learning never goes away.

Usually the doctor will do an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease damage to the gut lining (villi).  The endoscopy is usually after a positive antibody test, which you had already it sounds like.  You shouldn't stop eating gluten until the endoscopy is completed and test results are received.  If you stop eating gluten too soon, the test results can be faulty.

Several people have reported having their gall bladders removed before being diagnosed with celiac disease.  Gallbladder problems and celiac disease seem to go together for some people.

Welcome to the forum! :)

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
