Do I Fit The Celiac Profile?

I am a 23 year old female:

By Blood-

Vitamin D almost undetectable

Deficient in B12, B3 & Pantothenate

Ferritin 26, Red Blood Cells & Hematocrit High

Hypothyroidism

FSH & LH seem to stay the same, never going up or down

IGF-1 Normal

IGFBP3 Normal

By 24 hour Urine-

Low Estrogen

Low Progesterone

Low HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

High DHEA

I also did IgE & IgG4 for Gluten & Gliadin, but did it fasting (I have read you are supposed to eat Gluten to get an accurate result) as my other blood work required fasting. I tested right at the Moderate line for Gluten & Just over for Gliadin. It was done through Meridian Valley if anyone is familiar.

I also have Aquagenic Urticaria. I break out in hives with contact with water. I also break out in hives with friction/stimulation/pressure such as massage.

Might I be Celiac?

12 hours of not eating won't effect the Celiac blood tests. What they mean is you can't be on a gluten free diet. You need to be eating a regular gluten containing diet for the weeks, maybe months, before the test.

Those are not the standard tests for celiac, those are allergy-related tests. You should have the IgA and IgG TTG and DGP tests for celiac.

Besides the allergy test, what about my other labs? Do these labs resemble a Celiac?

The tests that RMJ mentioned are for antibodies -- not allergy testing. There are over 300 symptoms for celiac disease. You could have it. Your labs? Who knows. Lots of people are low in Vitamin D (depends on where you live) and many have low ferritin (e.gg. Heavy periods). Testing for antibodies and then obtaining intestinal biopsies can confirm celiac disease.

The University of Chicago's celiac website is a great place to research symptoms and testing requirements.

Hope this helps.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
