Anyone have liver problems?

[Bobbie73]

I got an ultrasound result showing something on my liver. Looks like an MRI will follow. Has anyone had liver damage along with celiac?

No, but many many members have liver issues that resolve once gluten free.  Celiac disease is systemic and goes beyond just damaging the small intestine.  

You can confirm this by using the search box located at the top of the forum page. 

Also, MRIs catch lots of little things that normally turn out to be nothing.  But is is prudent to get it checked out.

Some of my liver enzymes are always slightly elevated. Have been since I started having celiac symptoms. They haven't gone up, my GI thinks it's just genetic for me. They call it Gilbert's syndrome. 

They did and ultrasound and found nothing abnormal so not worried. 

People with active celiac reactions may have elevated liver enzymes as well.

The celiacs in my family develop NAFLD over time. Hemochromatosis is also prevalent in my family. I don’t believe it’s connected to Celiac, just another autoimmune response. Docs refused to test my iron despite diagnosed deficiencies. Once I did get an iron test, it showed levels consistent with hemochromatosis. A CT scan showed granulomatous changes in my liver. That’s where I currently stand.

So, yes, anything is possible, however it’s likely a companion autoimmune rather than a Celiac issue. Research your issue so you can be prepared to follow through on your health care. 

Good luck!
