Do I Possibly Have Celiac's Disease?

Hi,

I know nobody here are doctors but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I gave up smoking in January 2013 and shortly after developed what seemed like a urine infection. After five negative tests, I came to believe I had Interstitial Cystiss. My symtoms are frequent urination, slight burning feeling before and after peeing.

Noticed I had a white tongue (which for five months I was told was not Candida) but tested last week as positive for it.

Sleep problems now lasting five months (constant) can fall asleep ok but wake after 4 hours and then can only sleep another hour. I often wake up sweating and seem quite red in the face.

Urgent bowel movements upon waking. Not quite diarrhoea but very loose. 

I have noticed that if I eat bread my stools are more frequent. If I don't for a few days then I still have an urgent need to go in the morning but it is not so loose (sorry for the TMI).

Also need to go more often in the day if I eat bread.

Feel fatigued but this could be lack of sleep.

Also get a burning sensation in my hands and feet.

I never had any problems until I was 44 and gave up smoking.

My vitamin D levels are fine

Not peri menopausal

Thyroid is fine

B12 is good

Been seen by a neurologist and rheumatologist

Does this seem like gluten intolerence to anyone.

The sleep issues are really getting to me

Oh and I have been suffering from anxiety too

It sounds like you should be tested for celiac.  You wouldn't want to continue with these discomforts if you didn't have to.  I hope you will get some definitive answers about the root of your problems that can be managed!

 

Get well  ***

A white tongue usually means you have candida (yeast). Probiotics and yogurt might help with that. I've found that everyone on our Forum has additional medical problems. My naturopath says mine all seem to be connective tissue disorders on top of the celiac. Feel free to PM me any time.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
