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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
