Pre diagnosis symptoms

[Ajulian]

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I am currently waiting on my biopsy results but holy moly has life been rough lately. About 6 months ago my life turned upside down! Headaches rapid heart rate feeling like I’m looking through a cloud to anxiety and being afraid to drive/be in public to gas bloating burping and frequent stools much softer than normal. I guess I’m looking for similarities between any of you? Did it seem to come out of nowhere? Hind site I’ve had some GI issues all my life. But this extreme life altering state has been the last 6 months. It’s miserable! Has anyone else had this rapid heart beat and had a normal hemoglobin? My ferritin is low normal. But my bilirubin is always elevated and some excess fat around my liver (I’m a 26 year old NON alcoholic). Can anyone relate while I wait in this anxious mess?

Welcome!  

Celiac disease has so many symptoms (over 200) and the ones you described could very well fit celiac disease.  Did you get a celiac blood screening test prior to your biopsy?  If your GI (or Dermatologist if you have Dermatitis Herpetaformis) went directly to biopsies, ask for the screening now before going gluten free as many things can destroy intestinal villi.  

Anxiety and liver issues are very common in celiac disease and can resolve on the gluten free diet.  But a fatty liver can be attributed to a diet high in carbs/sugar.

Keep us posted of your results.  If celiac disease is ruled out, you many have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  Trialing the gluten-free diet can resolve this too.  

 I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, 

I'm waiting for a diagnosis too so can't really comment on the coeliac side but I have low iron, ferritin and folate but my hemoglobin is "normal" but was on the bottom of the normal range last time, Anyway yes my heart rate has increased as I started to feel worse.
