90% celiac symptoms in me last 27 years


Karav Appukuttan

I am 48 years old. Last 10 month in France. 4 months back I had upper body burning, stabbing pain and high blood pressure with difficulty to breath, I rushed to emergency but unfortunately they couldn't identify the problem in me. Just a week back I realized by searching on the net, it might be Celiac Disease caused me by hereditary ( I carry 95% the same symptoms . My mother passed away in her 40's. Celiac Disease symptoms. I could recollect.   Now I am taking a gluten free diet, still my breathing trouble, burning sensation on my upper body remains. Fortunately in the last 12 years, I was taking multivitamins like B6, B12,  zinc, calcium, magnesium, and ginkgo biloba. Past 1 year I haven't taken those vitamins. Everything medication got blocked here. The problem is no one understands what I say about my problems. Now  I don't know what to do.  Can anyone help me?

I know that ginko biloba interacts with a lot of meds but are you sure that's true of B6, B12, zinc, calcium and magnesium? I wasn't aware of those others being a problem. What medications are you on? Do you have good health insurance? Are you a French citizen or do you have private insurance? What resources are available to you? Sounds like you might have other medical problems in addition to possible/probable celiac disease. I would ask your physician to order a blood work to check for celiac antibodies. Unfortunately, the tests will not be accurate if you are already eating gluten free.

I have health insurance. I don't have any lungs,heart, or blood clot problems. It has been checked over here. That's why they said I don't have any problems. It's all about my mind. When I start taking fruits and vegetables sometimes I feel better again, stomach upset , motion with pain, numbness in hands and legs, feeling cold, breathing trouble starts. 

I am an Indian. Two days back I bought magnesium and B12 (oxygen in blood ) When I loose energy trip i take magnesium tablets. Ginko i used for my memory loss. 

I got an appointment with a Gastroenterologist in November here. please go through the below details. Please....

History of hereditary cases
My mother passed away in her 40s. She had almost all of the symptoms, issues and issues as well as the common health issues of my symptoms. That I am noted below for myself. Both of my mother's kidneys damaged 90%, there were still no symptoms of kidney disease in her. She had difficulty breathing in the final stage, breathing with oxygen for a week, coughing up blood, sight goes back and forth after blood transfusion (2 times), blood pale in color, in a week , She died.
She had chronic pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, stomach pain, skin pain, etc. Her tooth completely disappeared when she was 18 or 19, and she was using an artificial tooth.
No one could identify his real problems. All the doctors have ignored or confirmed that any kind of pain and difficulty in the body is that it just doesn't feel real. They couldn't find any cause or problem in it.
Just six months before his death, kidney problems were diagnosed. His blood pressure went up and down. She suffered from chronic pain. She did not have any symptoms similar to kidney failure. Urination was normal, not much swelling in the body, face, or legs. It's a big question in front of me that what was the root cause of his death?
My mother's family members (sister mothers and their children) have stomach issues, neck issues, fatigue-weight gain, missed periods and dental issues, etc., as far as I know.

Due to the malposition of the feet and ankle the pain worsens more in the left leg. My left leg ankle and feet are dislocated.

3. At the age of 38, after a lot of struggle, a rheumatologist reports having fibromyalgia

To me it seems that you have some pretty severe absorption issues that you should discuss with your doctor. It would probably make sense for them to check various vitamin and mineral levels in your blood, and even follow up and do celiac disease antibody tests to make sure you've been 100% gluten-free. If you eat out you should stop doing that for a while and focus on making your diet 100% gluten-free. You should keep a food diary to see if you have additional food intolerance issues.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
