@jenniber, Your brother can get a genetic test to look for Celiac genes. You don't need to eat gluten for a genetic test. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is associated with Celiac Disease.

Ditto to what the others have said. All the evidence suggest you have celiac disease. But @Lizie, why are you asking this question at this point in time? There are some implicit questions raised by what you have told us so far. 1. Were you given a diagnosis of celiac disease back in the fall of 2023? 2. If you were given a diagnosis of celiac... -

Terrible Neurological Symptoms
@Tobo, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? Do you currently take a multivitamin or other vitamins or supplements? Amitriptyline is one of the medications I was prescribed. Amitriptyline is one of the drugs that can cause thiamine insufficiency by blocking thiamine uptake and preventing thiamine from entering cells. Fatigue...

@jenniber, Your brother can get a genetic test to look for Celiac genes. You don't need to eat gluten for a genetic test. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is associated with Celiac Disease. Thiamine B1 insufficiency is frequently found Diabetes. I have Diabetes and Celiac myself. Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is helpful to ensure our bodies get the nutrients needed to heal and repair damage from gluten, as well as deal with Diabetes. I take Benfotiamine, A form of thiamine Vitamin B 1, that has been shown to promote intestinal healing, and improves Diabetes. Thiamine, Niacin B 3, Pyridoxine B 6, and the other essential vitamins will help your body make digestive enzymes such as Sucrase and Lactase in the stomach, pancreas and digestive system.

There are some implicit questions raised by what you have told us so far. 1. Were you given a diagnosis of celiac disease back in the fall of 2023? 2. If you were given a diagnosis of celiac disease back then, did you undertake a strict gluten free diet or did you just ignore the diagnosis? 3. Are you asymptomatic? When you consume gluten, do you not have reactions? Is this why you question whether or not you actually have celiac disease?

Amitriptyline is one of the drugs that can cause thiamine insufficiency by blocking thiamine uptake and preventing thiamine from entering cells. Fatigue, drowsiness, are symptoms of thiamine insufficiency. Thiamine is Vitamin B1, one of the essential vitamins our bodies need every day.
