Any coeliacs with no symptoms?

Hi all, new here!

 

I went to docs recently for blood tests for something unrelated and when the results came back they said they think I have coeliacs disease and an under active thyroid.

A work friend of my partners is a coeliac and always says she has violent d+v almost immediately if she ever accidentally eats any gluten. I, on the other hand, a nearly 30 and have always eaten whatever I liked and have no ill effects. Is it possible to be a coeliac but not have any symptoms?

I've now got to wait till the end of next month to see a specialist who will then decide if they're doing a biopsy to confirm I believe.

After the initial chat with the doctor about my blood results, and him explaining all the horrible things gluten/coeliacs was doing to my body it then feels really weird knowingly eating the stuff until the test, but I don't want to cut stuff out and then have a false test result.

Anyone know of any sufferers who don't outwardly appear to be suffering?! I'm hoping the result will come back negative but the doc was quite sure from my blood result

Welcome!

No, some celiacs do not display any symptoms, but there are about 300 symptoms if celiac disease and you might have a few (little things that you have ignored).  This link takes you to the University of Chicago's celiac website.  It confirms what I said.

Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete!

I just had anemia when I was diagnosed.  No tummy issues at all!

Yazzoo, cyclinglady is correct. There are "silent celiacs" who have no symptoms at all. But there's a good chance you have symptoms & just don't realize it as cyclinglady said. Happens all the time.

The good news is....... You won't have to live without Hobnobs!!! I did a quick Google & found gluten free recipes. Here are just a few:

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
