Does any diagnosed Celiac out there in the message board also have "irritable bowel syndrome" that sort of goes along with the celiac?

...?? Wondering...

A large number of us were mis-diagnosed with this. :angry: IBS is a diagnosis that basically stands for "I BE Stumped" it's given when doctors can not find a cause for problems.... Perhaps because they don't look for food intolerances, whoops maybe it should stand for "I Be Stupid" :lol:

I would have answered this differently a few months ago, but I have been having major IBS stuff again and now that I have had an endoscopy and colonoscopy while in the midst of having uncomfortable IBS and they've seen nothing, not even inflammation, I really don't know. I have eliminated many foods from my diet and don't believe any of the remaining foods are problems for me. I have been living under stress the last few months, and this has been when this IBS has been affecting me.

Because of other mood symptoms, my docs are thinking of re-diagnosing me as bipolar which I am not excited about at all. But having done research I see many correlations with IBS, fibromyalgia, and bipolar that would all explain what is going on with me. If I can find a way out of this without meds I'll be happiest. But right now I am trying to feel better and it seems no matter how strict my diet, what foods I cut out, I am still destined to have IBS. I have been on ativan for the past couple of weeks and the IBS has been fairly non-existent.

Anyway, I think there are multiple reasons these things happen to us.

I have both celiac and IBS; however, my doctor told me that my IBS was induced by having celiac disease.

Basically, I have an irritable bowel when I have gluten or dairy.

IBS = Multiple food allergies and the pain that comes with

Multiple food allergies = Leaky gut

Every coeliac, on the sick phase, have a leaky gut, have multiple food allergies...so i guess we could say have IBS to.

I agree, I think this is what my doctor was trying to tell me. Eating gluten causes the intestines to be super sensitive to food, which is an irritated bowel.

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.
