New here, as well as to Celiac. I've been gluten free for 2 months now and find that when I encounter gluten now that I've been clean my reactions are much worse! I had fries out last night and they were coated with wheat flour (had to call today and have them check). I have been having stomach cramps all day, double over take your breath away cramps and nasea. Has anyone ever tried Bentyl for these types of symptoms? I took it years ago when I was dx ed as IBS....Ouch, what can I do? Need to get back in the game asap!

Thanks

You can try it, but I was given Bentyl last week during my flare up and it made the pain so much worse I almost went to the ER. It says on the package insert that it is not to be taken by people with chronic inflammation. They weren't kidding!

I was on Bentyl for about two days. Made me zombi-like, I was nauseated, threw-up dirrahea, ended up in hospital for 6 days for dehydration. this was before my diagnosis of Celiac after the Dr.s ran more tests.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @Jesmar! The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes were the original halotypes identified with the potential to develop celiac disease. Since then, other genes have been discovered that apparently afford a predisposition to celiac disease. As is always the case, these new discoveries are not yet common knowledge and not yet widely dispersed in the medical community. It is not genetically as black and white as we once thought.

      14 year old with Celiac & EOE still suffering...

      @Nacina, I would add a B Complex to all that and extra thiamine B 1 and magnesium glycinate, and high dose Vitamin D to get his level up faster.   We need the B vitamins to repair our body and for energy to function.  Thiamine B 1 is especially important for athletes.  Thiamine works with magnesium.  Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies can cause constipation.  All eight essential B vitamins work together.  Due to poor absorption in celiac disease, supplementing with B vitamins boosts our ability to absorb them.  Here's some reading material that is helpful... An open-label, randomized, 10 weeks prospective study on the efficacy of vitamin D (daily low dose and weekly high dose) in vitamin D deficient patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6618212/ Micronutrients Dietary Supplementation Advices for Celiac Patients on Long-Term Gluten-Free Diet with Good Compliance: A Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6681258/ The Effects of Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide on Physiological Adaption and Exercise Performance Improvement https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6073388/ The Effect of a High-Dose Vitamin B Multivitamin Supplement on the Relationship between Brain Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: A Randomized Control Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316433/ B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9662251/ Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition: A Narrative Review of the Biochemical and Clinical Evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019700/ A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10542023/ Effects of thiamine supplementation on exercise-induced fatigue https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8815395/ The effects of endurance training and thiamine supplementation on anti-fatigue during exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241913/ Hope this helps!

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Jesmar · Posted

      Hi all.  I am an 18 year old male. Recently I had anti ttg-igA tested and it came back as 9.1 IU/ml (weak positive) (increased from previous test which was 5.6iU/mL) . What does this mean please? I am booked for an endoscopy however, i am negative for both HLA DQ2 and DQ8. I have a family history of coeliac.

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.
