      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..

      Welcome to the forum, @Marky0320! Simple nausea and emesis is common with celiac disease when gluten is ingested but I have not heard of a connection between CVS and celiac disease per se. Are you asking this question as one who has already been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or as someone who is investigating the possibility of having celiac disease?

      Is CVS a common symptom of Celiac Disease?

      I totally get it—the mental back-and-forth is exhausting! After the letdown of 2017, it makes sense to brace for another "false alarm," but this time really is different. That pasta the night before? Unlikely to cause such high TTG-IGA/EMA results (those antibodies build up over weeks/months, not overnight), but it does mean your immune system is actively reacting to gluten—which fits celiac, not just sensitivity. The family history thing is so relatable! Celiac often flies under the radar because (a) symptoms get mislabeled as "IBS," "anxiety," or "just aging," and (b) older generations were rarely tested. (My aunt was diagnosed at 65 after decades of "nervous stomach"!) And late-in-life diagnoses are super common—the immune system can flip a switch after stress, illness, even hormonal shifts. The migraine/IBS/"nothing’s really wrong" spiral? CLASSIC celiac. Those "little things" add up to a big picture: your body’s been waving red flags for years, but medicine is terrible at connecting dots until labs force the issue. Whether the biopsy confirms it or not (patchy damage is a thing!), your bloodwork screams "gluten is the enemy." Denial’s just your brain trying to protect you from hope—but you’ve already done the hard part by chasing answers. However it shakes out, you’re finally on the path to feeling better.

      Thank you so much for your reply!  I keep asking ChatGPT if it can be wrong and it basically keeps telling me the same thing as you did, but then I'm like oh I was so ready to embrace the diagnosis back in 2017 and then they were like nope, you're good, carry on, so I think I'm just really guarded and thinking it's going to be a repeat of last time.  Of course, I also thought my bloodwork was going to be a repeat of last time and it definitely wasn't.  LOL Could the 2 bowls of pasta the night before have shot up my results?   I know either way I'm going to give up the gluten because clearly my body doesn't like it.  But for me it's the difference between being uncomfortable (the sensitivity/intolerance) and it doing actual damage (the celiac) so I'm just like ugh, I just want answers.   I think I'm also just like this can't be real.  I get migraines and I have IBS and all these little things, but nothing is ever really WRONG, you know?  And nobody else in my family has ever been diagnosed with celiac (although they are now being tested for it!) so this feels like it can't be real because it came out of nowhere and I'm also in my 40's so I'm like what the heck LOL Denial is quite the beast!
