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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
