Celiac Patient Symptoms When Gluten Is Consumed

Hi, I hope this doesn't seem like a silly question, but I'm waiting to see my GI specialist and I still have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm curious though if one has celiac disease and gluten is consumed do all patients require emergency care or can the symptoms vary?

Based on my previous posts and my symptoms I feel pretty confident I am either celiac on NCGS, but if I consume bread or gluten I don't always have an immediate severe reaction. Sometimes it's brain fog, a headache the following day that last a day or 2, or puffy eyelids the following day. Other times it's severe diarrhea, cramping etc.

Does this make sense?

Makes complete sense.  :) Reactions between celiacs can vary hugely. Some of us have a slow reaction, others feel it quickly, and yet others will not have an obvious reaction until multiple exposures have happened. Some react severely and need days off work whereas others feel nothing or just a bit run down, and some swing between the two extremes.

 

I was an undiagnosed celiac for decades and I never required emergency care except when it kicked off a new life-threatening autoimmune problem. I was able to work and function fine - just without comfort.  LOL

Thanks nvsmom, I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything!

It really is a weird disease! When something as harmless as a donut can cause migraines, arthritis, cognitive problems and stomach issues - it really does make it hard to get a full understanding of what is going on!

 

Best wishes.  :)

These types of considerations sound familiar to me, for sure.  My response has also been changing  as I transition gluten free.

      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.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
