Celiac disease or leaky gut syndrome

Hi my name is Alison. I had a celiac panel done a year ago and it was negative but I still have leaky gut syndrom.  My iron level is down and I have a low Tsh or they say sensitive. I have a lot of cramping, gas, and bloating. I have no idea what to do as doctors in ontario will not help u. I am 45-46 years old. I also have acid reflux and asthma and I am currently doing immunotherapy for dust mites. I never truly feel good and I am tired alot. I thought if I eat healthier I would loose weight but it is not coming off. I even find that fruits and vegetables are causing alot of diahrea as well what is causing this. Is it the natural sugar in the fruit or something all together.

Hi Alison and welcome :)

Few questions:

Did you have the full celiac blood panel?

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA
Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG
Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA
Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA
Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG
Total Serum IgA

Sometime only one or 2 of these markers are tested. If you have your results you could post them. Also were you eating gluten at the time and for weeks before? There's some more info and links on testing here and the forum faq here

Even with a negative test, gluten could still be the problem. I had all your symptoms, tested negative but am gluten free for life based on my reaction to the gluten challenge during testing. Have you heard of non celiac gluten sensitivity? If you've finished with diagnosis, then why not give the gluten free diet a try and see if it helps?

Hope this of help. Best of luck!

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is...

      Eating gluten before blood test

      Welcome to the forum, @Dema! The current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" leading up to the day of testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks. I hope this helps you in your decision. This information represents more recently updated guidelines...

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is cooked on the same grill with stuff that has wheat. Also remember that the absence of noticeable uncomfortable reactions doesn't necessarily equate to no damage happening to the small bowel lining.

      I am actively dealing with a ray of issues, my skin, eyes and digestive even though not eating wheat.Menopuase has activated so much right now, considering its getting worse with my health. I have learned so much thanks to this website.I wasn't properly told of my celiac disease which was confirmed by colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1994 the same year I gave birth to my first son, my tolerance level was horrible. After being diagnosed and staying away from wheat continued problems. My chiropractor at the time in 2007 had my blood work sent off and turns out I have more food allergies. I told my primary of my celiac disease in 2000 and continued to see that doctor up until May if this year 2025 considering my celiac disease was ignored, disregarded and what Im currently going through and been through. I assumed my celiac disease was " registered " at the time in 1994 just as pregnancy and other ailments are reported. I was shocked to learn that its not a mandated reportable disease not documented by the state from hospitals which I for one think it should be considering all the medical gaslighting im dealing with which is causing depression. Im told not worry about other, well I am and its NOT right.It needs to be documented so others don't suffer and go through this nightmare. Im seriously ready to go down to the mayors office and make some noise. Thoughts?
