Sorry I'm still learning how to use this. I never saw if my message took. I have tested positive for celiac, one of my counts was 56 & a normal count is 30. The other two tests were ok. I still wonder if I actually have this. I don't throw up after eating gluten or run to the bathroom. I anything it is the reverse effect. My systoms are pain in my upper right side. I guess I was just seeing if anyone else that has celiac has had these systoms. I also wonder about what you can and can't eat. I have a million questions. unsure.gif unsure.gif I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Lucy

Hello

I know how confused one gets with this...Did you have your gallbladder checked out? I too did not have typical symptons usually the opposite... I do know that I have been dx"d with all kinds of illness' but when I stopped eating wheat & gluten I became much better. Not perfect but better.I was told I did not have Celiac's and to continue to eat anyway I cared too..I decided that I felt better off of the wheat & gluten. When I seen another Doc he agreed I should not to a wheat eater , he then proceeded to tell me how bad it is for us and that his family has no problems with eating it but they said it is bad stuff and none of his family eats it.He said they are much better off without it. 'I know this isn't much of an answe but do you feel any better being off of it? Some people never have ant outward symptons and to me that's the scary part...

If your blood tests came back positive and you are having abdominal pain and any gastro sysmptoms, you can probably assume you have it. You need to be 100% off gluten - not even a crumb. I have had all kinds of symptoms, most of them not what the older doctors call "classic."

As far as I know, celiac does not cause vomiting. Not everyone gets diarrhea from it, probably half of us get constipation. Pain in your upper right side about half an hour after eating could be gallbladder problems. Since your tests came back positive, you will be healthier eating glutenfree all of the time, not just when you experience symptoms.

I had pain in my upper right side, and all the way down my right side. It was a burning, aching pain that gradually got worse and worse. Doctors also suspected gall bladder, appendix, etc. But when they did the endoscopy, it came back looking like celiac.

And today, if I have a speck of gluten, the area on my right is where it will ache for a few hours.

Celiac is one of those diseases that does not have one simple diagnostic test. It may be difficult to diagnose (sort of like multiple sclerosis, etc.) But if the symptoms fit, and the blood tests fit, and the endosocopy fits, then wear it.

Hope this helps

I definitely have vomiting with Celiac's. Actually, the first sign to me that I've gotten glutened is extreme nausea and then vomiting. Yuck!

Celiac can cause vomiting, especially in children.

Celiac can also cause constipation, even though most complain of the "D".

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
