Pancreatitis

I was just recently diagnosed with Celiacs almost three weeks ago. As of yet, we cannot find any genetic history in our family. However, we did read some literature that said pancreatitis was common with Celiacs. My uncle almost died from this over the summer. Does anyone else have pancreatitis. I was also wondering if there is anyone with Turner's Syndrome with no genetic history of Celiacs with it, as I have Turner's as well. Just wondering.

Turner's syndrome has to do with one of your x-chromosomes. Celiac disease is thought to be on a different chrom (if it was on x, or x-assoc, more males than females would likely have it). Someone correct me, but I think celiac disease is assoc with chrom 6 or 16 (I think there is a 6 in there somewhere). Anyway, I hope it helps.

Forgot to mention too - I hadn't heard about the pancreatitis assoc, although I would not be suprised, however, I know it is assoc with gall bladder issues too. Both of those organs are involved with digestion and processing various items, so if something is wrong with the dig. tract, it would easily follow that assoc organs would experience trouble.

I did some research on the connection between pancreatitis and celiac disease:

I was getting really concerned that I wasn't getting better after like 11 months on the diet, so I started doing a lot of research on other possible problems that I could have. Turns out I just needed longer to get better. I am fine now, unless I get glutened.

i don't have pancreatitis, but a woman in my local support group does. it can be very difficult to get rid of. and yes, there can be a link between it and celiac.

Oh... my...!!!

I had NO idea there was a link. I had pancreatitis 2 months before I was diagnosed celiac disease. I almost died. It was the most painful experience of my LIFE. I always thought it might have triggered my celiac disease. Maybe it was the other way around....?

This is VERY interesting to me. Anyone else had pancreatitis?

I know what chromosomes are affected by Turner's. My brother-in-law was tested for Celiacs in the spring and my sister says she saw some research saying there was a link between Celiacs and Turners, as in there is a high prevalance of Turner's girls and women having Celiacs. I do not recall seeing this in any of the lists of medical conditions common with Turners, but I was just wondering.

Thanks for the feedback on the pacreatitis. I have a co worker who also has Celiacs and she gave me Lifeline, from the Celiac Sprue Association, and there were two articles on the connection...in England, anyone with pancreatitis is automatically tested for Celiacs. Outside of Turner's, my uncle having Celiacs as well is the only link I can find. Thanks again for the input!

Hi again - didn't mean to offend by mentioning Turner's was an issue related to your x-chrom.

I am reading "Dangerous Grains" and they mention that people with Turner's should be tested for celiac disease. I am only half way through the book, and so far, they haven't elaborated any more then just that statement.

My dad died from pancreatitis. He was always ill every night after eating and only 56 when he died. I wonder if he was an undiagnosed celiac? Guess I'll never know.

Just joined. I had acute pancreatitis in 2001, then chronic all these years. Lots of doctors and tests and procedures. Told it was idiopathic (unknown origin). I never believed it was really pancreatitis. Had gall bladder out a long time ago. Recently read a book, Perricone Prescription. The initial two-week eating plan sounded sensible to me. Easy to do since I enjoy broccoli, spinach, sardines, apples, etc. Only eating organic fresh foods, nothing processed. Lo and behold, no more abdominal pain. None. For Thanksgiving, ate bread and pie. Pain. Tried pasta, more pain. Fortunately, organic food is nearby, and it's just me, so no temptation in the house. No doctor ever mentioned celiac but friends did. It's great to be pain free!

I'm curious about something. celiac disease and wheat intolerance has been showing up on my mother's side of the family for the last 8 years. She has recently been daignosed with pancreatic cancer and I was wondering if there was a possible connection. I know diet isn't going to turn this around but I wondered if it might help.

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.

      The test result will never be shown as zero because the most negative the result can be reported as is less than the lowest amount the test can detect.  For example, you might see <2. What is the normal range for your daughter’s test?  Antibodies can hang around in the body for a while. Even if her result is not yet in the normal range, going from more than 100 to 9 in a few months is great! Good job, mom.

      My daughter has been gluten-free about 4 months. Prior, her tTG was over 100 (test maxed at 100). Her liver, iron, vit d are all normal again and she has grown 2 inches and gained 4.5 pounds in just 4 months! It's amazing. But her tTG is still at 9. Is that normal or should it be zero? Is she still getting gluten? We are SO strict. We don't eat out.  She was previously having tummy pain still. I cut oats completely 3 weeks ago and that is gone.  Can gluten-free oats raise tTG? Would I know based on symptoms? I was going to try her on oats again now that she doesn't say her tummy hurts anymore.  Also, our house is gluten free apart from one loaf of bread my husband uses. He makes sandwiches on a plate then puts it in the dishwasher. Yesterday when my celiac kids weren't home, my youngest and I ate "real" pasta. I was SO careful. All pans went in the dishwasher, I didn't spill any, I cleaned the sink I drained it in. Today my girl has her dermatitis herpetiformis rash back and had a huge hour long meltdown then fell asleep. Just like before diagnosis. Is it that hard to avoid cross contamination? Will one crumb off the plate or me cooking pasta when she's not home get her?  Again, we do not eat out, she's not in school yet, and she doesn't eat anything I don't give her.
