Gluten Intolerant (But Having New Symptoms?)

Hi,

I am gluten intolerant, and since following a gluten free diet much of my problem symptoms had cleared up.

I had a blood test last year for celiac disease, but got a negative result. I'm not sure about the accuracy however, as I wasn't prepared and had already started my gluten free diet. I was tested for thyroid as well, also negative result.

I have eaten some meals with wheat now and then as a treat (yes, I'm bad) and only reacted occasionally with my usual symtoms (sore stomach, cough, tired)which made me think I'm not severe enough to be celiac. But recently my reaction has changed, and I'm being strict from now on.

Firstly, I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced this symptom; enlarged lymph glands in the neck? I hope I haven't got some other thing. I can only make a possible connection to intolerance through a curry I ate that day, as I did not have a virus. I experienced a racing heart at for a short time at night, a painless bubble feeling under my right rib cage, and my limbs felt fatigued. After a week, these symptoms and swelling disappeared.

Just a few days ago however, I accidentally got glutened, and once again the same symptoms came about. I can feel one of the lymph glands in my neck has swollen up again, with all the symptoms.

I'll probably go to the doctor again. Just wandering if there is any connection whatsoever?

You really do need to see a doctor. This is not something you want to ignore. There are all sorts of reasons for swollen lymph glands but you need to have a professional figure out the reason for you.

You should get things checked out with your doctor to be on the safe side. I did have constantly swollen lymph nodes pregluten free and they took a very long time to go down. Doctors checked me for all the really bad things they could be but always ended up saying it was from my 'atopic dermatis' which was actually DH. Since there are some really serious things that can cause swollen lymph glands do get it checked out unless they have resolved completely.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.
