Celiac After Gastric Bypass

I had Gastric Bypass about 2 years ago this February, one month after the initial surgery I had an adhesion form and had to have emergency surgery to remove the adhesion. One month after that I had to have my gal bladder taken out due to stones.

About a year after the Gastric Bypass I started having problems with bloating, gas and other issues. It kept getting worse and I thought it was meat that was causing my problems. Decided to do a deep investigation and found a site that described my symptoms to a tee...

When I asked my surgeon about my problem he said that is one of the side effects of the surgery and it only happens to a small percentage.

Getting desperate because I could not go anywhere without total embarrassment, I started investigating and found a site that explained all my problems to a tee..

Come to find out my Brother-in-law has this too.

I have been on a Wheat/Gluten free diet for about 2 weeks and it has made a remarkable change.

Does anyone else know of someone that the onset was caused by the Gastric Bypass.

I am going to notify my surgeon and hopefully help others that are going through what I have been thru...

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
