Time to Get Better

Hi,

I recently went through a 7.5 week trial of no gluten suggested by my midwife after she found out about my hives, strange face rash, new allergies, skipped periods, difficulty losing weight etc. By the end I was running faster at the gym and my unexplained anxiety went down. I tried gluten for a week and by the seventh day I had a very angry bloated belly after eating anything. My face rash had also returned, fatigue, canker sore, explosive d... It's been 4 weeks now completely gluten free. How long did it take you to start feeling better? The withdrawal symptoms (achy muscles, headaches, overwhelming fatigue) are gone but I'm still needing a nap nearly every day, have bathroom issues in the morning... Is there anything you did to feel better faster? After this trial I'm 100% convinced I have gluten intolerance if not celiac. I just want to feel like myself again.

Hi,

Eat meats, veggies, nuts and eggs.  Skip all the processed foods and also dairy and oats for a few months at least.  It can take 18 months to a couple years to heal from celiac damage.  The simpler your diet is at the beginning the easier it is to identify troublesome foods.  It is also good to cut way down or eliminate sugar, and carbs for a few months.

      False tTG3 Test?

      @SB04, Have you been checked for B12 deficiency? A deficiency in Vitamin B12 will cause hives and also raise the tTg 3 IgG level, even in people without Celiac Disease. You can have B12 deficiency without having Celiac Disease. All eight B vitamins work together. Do not supplement just a single B vitamin. Best wishes.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      I've just had 24 hr ECG monitoring but I am convinced the problem with my heart arythma is due to Histamine intolerance. I was making and loving L reuteri yogurt, supposed to get rid of sibo, I was also having, on a daily basis, kefir, sauerkraut and loads of spinach plus Avacado. Bananas and cheese have long been off my list of safe foods as...

      False tTG3 Test?

      The problem with a a multiple screening test like this is that it is likely to generate at least one result that is outside the normal range in a healthy person leading to futile investigations. The pathogenesis of dermatitis herpetiformis makes it unlikely that someone would have raised IgA-tTG3 but not raised IgA-tTG2. Suspected dermatitis herpetiformis...

      @Yaya, Vitamin supplements should be stopped eight to twelve weeks before testing blood levels. If vitamin supplements are not stopped, the tests will reflect the vitamins in circulation in the blood stream from the supplements, and blood levels may appear within "normal" limits. Blood tests do not reflect the amount of vitamins stored inside cells...

I queried this many times with my doctor as to whether the B12 was active and being absorbed or whether it was just in my bloodstream. They dismissed this idea. And of course I still take them. Thank you so much, what a revelation and really quite understandable,  I am about due for my annual full blood test so maybe I will just stop taking them?

      I've just had 24 hr ECG monitoring but I am convinced the problem with my heart arythma  is due to Histamine intolerance. I was making and loving L reuteri yogurt, supposed to get rid of sibo, I was also having, on a daily basis, kefir, sauerkraut and loads of spinach plus Avacado. Bananas and cheese have long  been off my list of safe foods as I was having a sort of allergic reaction after eating them and my accupuncturist said I had a heart arrythma.  After the yogurt fest mentioned above, I had a racing heart rate and think I must have had far too many Histamine producing foods. Apparently celiacs have too much histamine in their system anyway and I was, on a daily basis, eating very high histamine foods. I have cut them out of my diet and now eat only low histamine foods and I take quercin so the heart rate has slowed and the thudding I was getting at 4am has gone so I think I am right. The only symptom I  had for celiac disease (3yrs since diagnosed)  was acid reflux and the only thing that stopped the chest pain it gave me was the PPi Rinitidine  an H2 antagonist, to reduce stomach acid, (which high histamine causes) because it nuetralised the histamine!!  I told my doctor this and  he agreed with me and was delightfully shocked by my research,  (btw what would we celiacs do without google?) so I took a Famotadine, amore up to date H2 ppi for a couple of nights and then reduced my histamine intake, now awaiting results re the  ECG..............I seem to have lost my ability to spell, sorry...............

The pathogenesis of dermatitis herpetiformis makes it unlikely that someone would have raised IgA-tTG3 but not raised IgA-tTG2. Suspected dermatitis herpetiformis should be referred to a specialist for diagnosis. dermatitis herpetiformis causes a specific rash and symptoms - not merely hives. https://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-gb/3000326
