Does This Sound Like Celiac?

Hi,

Just wondering if my symptoms rings true with any of you as Coeliac. I have autoimmune thyroid problems, so always put some symptoms down to that although being treated - and have recemtly been also diagnosed with Ulcerative proctitis. Anyway:

Tiredness / fatigue

Terrible memory - feel 'stupid', lose words.

Feel low sometimes

Some nausea

Heartburn

Belching and Flatulence

Bloating

Loose and bleeding stools (proctitis)

Gripy tummy

Neropathy in hands, arms, feet

Obesity

Sweating

Periodic unexplained skin rashes

Boils all over scalp

Yellowing of teeth (started about a year AFTER giving up smoking

Some hair loss

Low Iron, Folate and Vit B12

I think that's more or less it. I don't have these symptoms all the time - they come and go. I definitely think I have an issue with wheat, but whether it's Coeliac or not.. I am having a endoscopy on Friday - the doc wanted to rule out Coelic as a cause of the proctitis as I mentioned to him that I read there was a link. I did have some blood tests done years ago which were negative, but the Doc said the tests I had done were uinreliable.

I'm a bit worried about the endoscopy too. Anxious about gagging...

Any thoughts gratefully received! Thanks,

Victoria

Mind you I'm not a doctor, just a random crazy person on the Internet, but every single one of those sound like symptoms of celiac/coeliac disease. Um, here; the non-crazy persons on the Internet:

Thanks for your response. Well - test on Friday, so I guess I'll know for sure then. I definitely know / feel at wheat is a problem, but a diagnosis would be good, as otherwise I think I'll struggle to be wHEAT / gluten free. keep you posted!

Thanks,

Victoria

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/ 
    • trents
      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
