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.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
