My symptoms-does this sound like celiac?

So, I am diagnosed with ADHD and have been since I was a child. I’ve always had UTI issues and constipation issues but doctors could never give me an answer as to why. I was also diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis two years ago but am skeptical of the diagnosis because I have yet to get any relief from it (on my scalp) 
 

I also experience the following:

-cold hands and feet/turn purple 

-easy to bruise

- fatigue

- loose stools/stools that stick to the toilet? 
- swelling of fingers and pain in finger joints

- light headed when standing up

- my routine blood test from 6 months ago detected high bilirubin levels—stayed high for another few months and returned to normal, so my doctor never sent me for further testing

- I get these tiny painful bumps on my fingers from time to time. They are just barely there but they sting when pressed on

Have you ever asked your doctor to do a celiac disease blood panel? Your symptoms could certainly be caused by issues with gluten, so it would be worth getting tested. Note that you need to be eating gluten daily for 4-6 weeks before any tests, so you may not want to go gluten-free until all tests are completed.

Here is more info on the blood tests:

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
