Really Quick Question!

Would a GI doctor perform a biopsy even if the blood results came back negative? I mean, is it common. See, I'm trying to ease my mind in some way because my blood results are in but MY DOCTOR ISN'T GETTING BACK TO ME ON THEM! And when I first saw her, she didn't seem like she believe I had celiac disease, but yesterday I had a colonoscopy and EBR and she added (without my knowledge until AFTER I was awake) the biopsies!

So I'm just wondering if from your experiences, a doctor would perform a biopsy even if the blood tests came back negative.

Did you have an endoscopy with the colonoscopy? How did she do the biopsy? Also why didnt she give you your bloodtest results? Have you asked for them?

I don't know how she did them. But I know that I was going in for a colonoscopy and for the upper GI (where they go down your throat) and then when I woke up at the end, she told me she added biopsies to BOTH tests, so upper and lower. But I don't know why she isn't giving me my results on the blood. She seems a little spacey. I asked her yesterday (when I was half awake) and she said that she couldn't recall them at the moment (meaning, she has them, but she forgot about them or something) and to call her in a week or two. Then after I woke up after taking a nap at home, I was like, wait, Quest diagnostics told me they would be in her office in 3 days! She has them and I'm not waiting 2 weeks again! It's already been about two weeks! So I called her yesterday AND this morning and left a message and she hasn't gotten back to me!! I'm so mad! :angry: How hard is it for her to call me back and go over them with me for 15 minutes? And the receptionist told me she can't send them to me unless the doctor has given them to me first, BUT SHE IS IGNORING ME! I am so anxious because I know she has them but she won't give them to me because she just clearly doesn't care enough.

Anyway................I also have a question about gastritis. She told me that my stomach lining was inflamed and red, and that I have gastritis. The doctors seem to ALWAYS be telling me that I have this: could this be a HUGE sign of Celiac Disease????

I'm so depressed right now about all of this. And I still feel like crap from drinking that laxitive on Sunday.........my muscle and joint pains are back and an all over "weird" feeling...............HELP ME! PLEASE?

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
