So right now Im waiting for my blood results but I was wondering what you guys think it could be. So my doctor has tested for almost everything in the book and it has come out negative. When I was little I used to be allergic to everything but then I went to NAET and got "rid" of them. 

 

Heres some of my symptoms:

-Since april I have had on and off constipation ( more of the time constipation then not) and one week diareaha.

-Even though I have had constipation I have lost a significant amount of weight and I eat alot. Also I have stopped exercising do to unhealthy weight and fatigue.

-I have had a lot bloating and constant flatulance and gurgling of the stomach.

-I have had discomfort in my low abdomen but its not really "painful".

-I have been alot more water and im always peeing, but my skin is so so dry. 

-I have had frequent headaches

-Alot of fatigue

- I have got a couple of nose bleeds and I have never had one in my life before this

-I have gotten sick alot

-My sleep has been off

 

I east very healthy with lots of fiber and different food groups. Any ideas???

It's hard to say, but it could be. These are mostly not classic celiac symptoms, but celiac can present in many different ways. It's a good thing you're being tested, hope you get your answers and that you soon will know what is thet matter, so that you can get what ever treetment you need. Good luck to you!

Could be celiac disease, or an intolerance to gluten (my initial symptoms were only thyroiditis and anemia and not the classic celiac disease symptoms).  

 

However, you said you had allergies when you were little.  Bet those allergies (which may have never really went away.....) have come back.  I used to think that my allergies went away during the winter (told my doc this and he laughed).  They didn't really "go away" but my responses did diminish until SPRING!  When pollen counts were high or the wind was blowing dust/mold, my foods reactions came back with a vengeance!

Those sounds like a lot of my symptoms! I was dx with "IBS" (which is an umbrella diagnosis for there is something wrong with your gut but we don't know what :P). With gut symptoms - it really could be anything... from food intolerances to celiac to IBD to too much 'bad' bacteria in your gut. Peeing a lot (or being too thirsty) as well as having very dry skin could be an indication of an endocrine issue as well. Best of luck, I hope you get some answers soon!

also check for diabetes. I have both type 1 diabetes and im celiac... Your symptoms are very familiar and explains the thirst

Greetings!

 

I hope you will get some definitive answers soon.  I did have extreme thirst without having diabetes and have been diagnosed as having celiac.  My symptoms included bloating, brain fog, and extreme fatigue.  My bloating occurred without pain.  I am sensitive to scents and fungi.  These also make me bloat.  I think many of your symptoms could be from a gluten problem, and I hope your testing will be helpful.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
