Hi, I have't been tested yet but my older and younger brothers both have Celiacs Disease.

 

Normally I eat alot of skinless chicken and Tilaptia fish. Well about a month ago I had Digournos 5 cheese pizza and had 3 slices. 2 hours after eating it I started to feel sick to my stomach. Then the gurgling started. I went to the bathroom and I started with fire hose diarrhea. Then I started vomiting. This all lasted for 3 hours. Next day I was fine cause I ate fish again. 2 weeks ago i had elbow noodles with sauce and the same thing happened. Well last night I had white rice and a box of sweet and our chicken that I have had severl times over the last 3 years. I was sick again. Only this time the vomiting was worse and i had chills and a slight fever of 99.9 afterward. I was fine by morning. I have constipation a lot and after i go I have cramping.

 

I also have Fibromyalgia, Ostopeenia in back and Oteoporosis in hips, Hashimoto/hypothyroidism, high blood pressure,joint pain, eye floaters and cateracts in both eyes.

How often are you getting the blood tests for Celiac? If you have a " first- degree" relative, you should be tested every few years. And if you aren't following that recommendation - you would want to get tested when you have some symptoms .

You have symptoms & related conditions, so I would say you need to get tested.

You need to continue to eat gluten to help you get accurate tests.

"A gluten challenge is the period of time when gluten is added back into a person’s diet to assist in the diagnosis of celiac disease. Antibodies take time to build into the blood stream before they can be detected through blood analysis. For a gluten challenge we recommend eating 1/2 slice of bread or a cracker each day for the duration of the challenge.

Prior to blood testing we recommend 12 weeks of eating gluten.

Prior to an endoscopic biopsy we recommend 2 weeks of eating gluten.

In the case of a severe reaction to gluten, a medical professional may opt to shorten the 12-week challenge and move immediately to an endoscopic biopsy."

And some info for your doc

Not everyone can make it through the gluten challenge.  Worn your doctor that it could be an impossibility for you, and perhaps he can get you in soon for a biopsy (requires only 2-4 weeks of 1-2 slices of bread per day or equivalent).  He might advise against all testing if it is that bad.

 

You can TRY to test on what you are eating now much chances are that it would be negative. Some people have higher levels of auto-antibodies that don't correlate to gluten consumption. After a long time gluten-free, most celiacs will have negative tests though.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
