Celiac With Constipation

I meet with my gastro doctor soon to discuss some blood test results I got back that may point towards Celiacs Disease. I am hoping to get sent in for a liver biopsy. I have been researching a lot about the disease and I have a lot of the symptoms. But one symptom I am questioning is diarreah. I do get bouts of diarreah but not as bad as I get chronic constipation with cramping. If I don't have severe diarreah is that a sign that perhaps I don't have Celiacs? I am often nauseas after meals with gas pain, but constantly have to take miralax,fiber supplements and even use suppositories to help with constipation problems. I want to be sure I have all the information I can before discussing all of this with my doctor. Thanks for any input.

Constipation is a common symptom, although not as common as diarrhea.

I did not suffer from diarrhea, but constipation and was diagnosed in December at the age of 32. God bless and hope you get answers!

You can have constipation with celiac disease.

Many of us have thyroid problems too, which can be a cause of constipation.

Its a common symptoms for sure, not sure why you would want a liver biopsy if the results are pointing towards Celiac?

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
