Raised Alkaline Phosphatase

[PghBOB]

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE RAISED ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE? I'VE HAD BLOOD TESTS MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS ALWAYS HAVE ELEVATED ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE [128]. I,VE BEEN TESTED FOR HEPATITIS AND HAD AN ULTASOUND OF MY LIVER, ALL OK. I'VE BEEN gluten-free FOR 9 MONTHS AND STILL FEEL NO BETTER. DOC THINKS I HAVE IBS ALONG WITH celiac disease

Hi. My husband had elevated liver enzymes at his last doctors appt. This was the first time his were elevated and I'm not sure which ones were eleveated. There are like 3 of them ALT, AST, and Alkaline Phospahtes. He goes back to the doctor in March to have them rechecked and I'm going to request a copy of the reports. I posted a thread about this a few weeks ago and several people posted with the same results and some links to research on Celiac and Liver Disease. My husband also had the negative Hepatitis test, and he's had an abdominal CT, and 2 Abdominal U/S in the past 6 months with a normal liver. I'm sorry you have these problems but it is always a little comforting to hear others dealing with it, hopefully it's all part of the road to recovery. You mentioned you weren't any better. Have you seen no improvement at all in the past 9 months? Shane (my hubbie) has been gluten-free for about 5 months and we have definately seen improvements although he is no where near better. Hope your feeling better soon.

I've had problems with elevated liver enzymes for the past 12 years on and off. It must be something with the fat metabolism. It has been ok for a couple of years now since I have been eating lower fat. Now with the gluten free diet, I am not sure how it will affect things. I have had milk thistle recommended to me, but am not sure about the dosages. Take care and I hope your husband's health improves soon.
