I Am New To This...


Lori

Recommended Posts

Lori Newbie

I have been dealing with what I thought were just food allergies for 3 yrs.. I have not yet gotten the actual diagnosis back from my Doctor regarding my blood exam. After having been told that I was likely a Celiac candidate and after reading alot of info, I have come to a fairly firm conclusion that I have this.. Is there anyone who would msg me back and have time to talk about the symptoms and other aspects of this illness?

My symptoms are:

Bloating after eating wheat or gluten or even dairy, Nausea almost all the time like I am pregnant, (but Im' not), I have severe constipation most of the time, I have specks of white on my toe nails, and I bruise esaily and they don't go away for quite a long time, I am also tired all the time and feel like I am never rested.. I just quit my job as a n Aesthetician because I could not keep up with everything due to the aching of my body and the regular responsibilities of 3 children. I am not sure about so many aspects of how this is affecting my life. I have always been very health conscious and I am in good shape for the most part but I am looking for some more info about this. Thankl you so much and i look forward to hearing back on this post. L :)

Lori, I would be happy to. I also have three children and my symptoms were similar to yours. You can either email me directly (usinf the email link below) or post more specific questions here. There is just too much info to just jump in without a starting point. :blink:

Hope to here from you soon.

God bless,

Mariann :)

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.

      Someone said this could be due to my hemorrhoids. On March 17, 2024 my ferritin level was 23.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA.  What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test?  Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.
