Do I Have Celiac Disease

I'm 18, and have had severe debilitating apathy for as long as I can remember. I have no motivation to leave my room, and I left college because even though I wanted to be able to do it, I was too apathetic to do any of the work. I have quite a bit of acne on my back, which I guess is suggestive of celiac disease. I've tried basically every medication to try to get rid of my apathy, and none of them worked very well. I was wondering if anyone with celiac disease in this forum feels or has felt incredibly apathetic. I've been looking for answers for years to figure out why I feel no pleasure and have no motivation even to play video games.

If a person is having a problem with gluten, it very much can affect their mood. I would suggest going off glutens for at least 2 months as an experiemnt fo yourself to see if it improves your apathy. No harm done to experiment.

You should see your dr. That is a symptom of depression which certainly can be apart of celiac symptoms. Make sure your see your dr before trying gluten-free since testing usually requires that you are eating gluten.

I had the same problem. You should see a doctor.

And did the symptoms of apathy resolve after a gluten free diet was initiated? And I have seen a doctor (psychiatrist), where I got my medications from. I don't have any symptoms of celiac, I just would hate to leave it out as a possibility because no one knows what is going on with me.

It sounds like you are really searching for answers. So you do care about something.., that's good! There are so many possible causes of apathy. Do you have other things going on? Any physical symptoms? Hard things you are dealing with (or avoiding) in life? Lots of people are finding connections between gut health and mood. You might find it interesting to read about GAPS, the Gut And Psychology Syndrome.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
