Does This Sound Like Celiac Or Ibs?

I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist but it isn't for another month. I've already visited my primary care physician who tested me for a gluten allergy (which came back negative) and said my issues might be related to dairy. I've cut dairy out of my diet and it doesn't seem to be helping.

 

My symptoms started about 6 months ago and I'm frequently bloated and have gas. I also have frequent GI issues with loose/runny stools, which seems to come in waves. I've also been battling fatigue for the past few months. I'm a long distance runner and I'm able to battle the fatigue to keep training but I often feel like I'm going to fall asleep at work or driving home. I'm curious if anyone has similar symptoms to me and was diagnosed with either celiac or IBS.

Many of us were diagnosed with IBS years before we discovered we actually had celiac disease. Just to be clear, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease and not an allergy.

 

Did you have a celiac disease panel completed? 

It should include the following-

Total IgA

tTG IgA and IgG

DGP IgA and IgG

EMA IgA

 

If you haven't had the panel run yet, have your PCP run that while your waiting for your GI appt. Make sure you stay on gluten while you are having ALL of your testing done or you may get a false negative result.

I had fatigue and could fight it in the beginning by being active.  I did tend to feel really sleepy when I sat down.  I have had trouble reading books or anything sitting because of sleepiness.  My major symptoms were brain fog and fatigue.  I also had bloating and was mistaken for pregnant sometimes.  I had big dental problems in spite of brushing.  I got my diagnosis for celiac about 18 months back.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
