Celiac symptoms and a&e?

I have been diagnosed celiac for 18 months now, and whenever I've eaten gluten in the past accidently my warning signs are headache, feeling sick and faint. 

 

But for a while now I haven't accidentally ate any gluten. 

 

This past month I've been having the following symptoms : lower abdominal pain, bloating and swelling, lower back pain, irregular bleeding, feeling full after eating a tiny portion and feeling sick. 

 

Most at of these signs are of ovarian cancer, so I went into a&e and the doctor said that it's just my celiac disease. Is this right?

Your doctor could be right.  It could just be celiac disease.  Have you had follow-up testing?  This should be done six months and then every year to see if your antibodies are coming down (or are down).  This will tell you if you really have been avoiding gluten.  No sense guessing.  Get tested and at least rule it out!  Here are some links that back what I have told you:

I've not had any follow up testing, but I do however have bloods monthly and they have come back fine. But if they do specific blood tests checking for antibodies then I could request those. Thank you for the links.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
