Throat soreness, swollen tonsils and pain ny left rib cage

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone can relate to my symptoms. I was diagnosed with Celiac 3 months ago but since have accidently eaten gluten. I have had a sore throat and swollen tonsil for what like seems forever. I am so tired constantly and sit at work falling asleep.

Is this due to the disease and because I haven't ben 100% gluten-free?

I have had more bloods today, which all came back fine apart from Celiac 3 months ago, but I am so anxious I have something more serious wrong :(

Hi Hannah,

Your symptoms could be related to celiac disease, or something else.  One way to find out is to stay strictly gluten-free and see if they go away.

I'm guessing you got the usual doctor's advice to go gluten-free.  The truth is it is much more involved than just saying that.  You need to spend some time learning what gluten is and where it hides in foods.  And how to avoid cross-contamination too.  These are things people tend to learn in the first 6 months of the gluten-free diet.

 Getting better goes faster if you eliminate all gluten from your diet.  That is easiest if you stop eating out at restaurants. And also stop eating processed foods.  Simple, whole foods are your friend when healing.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors hi! I’m feeling a lot better. Twitching has gotten better…I never really found an explanation for the twitching other than anxiety and/or some sort of deficiency (b12/iron/magnesium/D). These are just guesses, though. My levels were always “low-normal” and I recently got 2 more iron infusions because my ferritin dropped despite the gluten-free diet.    as for the other symptoms, I definitely am inclined to blame the gluten “detox” period and honestly anxiety around the entire ordeal. It’s a huge thing to deal with mentally, and I didn’t have symptoms that I knew of prior to being diagnosed so it really threw me into a spiral.    I supplement daily, multivitamin, 6000 D, B12 sublingual, B complex, C, omega 3, magnesium.    Be patient and kind with yourself. A lot of these forums, while helpful, point you to every possible horrible diagnosis.

      Hello. How are you feeling? Did you find out the cause? I have the same symptoms, but I'm still going through the diagnostic process for celiac disease.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.  His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.
