90% celiac symptoms in me last 27 years

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.

Chronic diarrhea continues about 8 years (1999) after diarrhea or constipation changes vice versa. If I had food at the same time or while eating, I have stomach bloating, pain or upset, the urgency to move on. The amount of stool is higher than the food I have eaten. With the same previous symptoms. Due to this problem, I cannot go anywhere outside.

7. At the age of 26, the doctors rejected my case with no reason and closed the file declared by AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDER.

Now it's been 20 years. Feet of the left leg is dislocated and prevent from making any kind of movements. Chronic pain and inflammation. 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. (Please do a detailed examination on this subject with an orthopedic doctor)

2. At the age of 35 or 36, partial loss of memory and three years under treatment with Ginkgo biloba
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.

      Hello fellow coeliacs and a Happy New Year I'd appreciate some advice. In December I gave up junk food and ate a new healthy diet, which had a lot of gluten-free oats, nuts, oranges in it, and a quite a lot of black coffee, rather than my usual lattes etc.  After a week or so I felt awful bubbling and bloating in the area which I would say is the ascending and transverse colon.  Earlier in the day it might start with stabbing pain, maybe just two or three 'stabs', or a bit of an ache in my pelvis area, and then by the evening replaced with this awful bloated feeling.   I can still fit into all my clothes, there isn't any visible bloating but a feeling of bloating builds from early afternoon onwards.  The pain and bloating has always gone by the morning.  BMs normal.   I went back to my normal diet over Christmas, for a couple of days things improved, but the bubbling and bloating then came back with a vengeance.  I'm having an ultrasound in a couple of weeks to check my pelvic area and if that is clear I suspect may have to have a colonoscopy, but is there anything anyone can recommend to calm this bloating down.  I have been given an additional diagnosis of IBS in the past but it has never been this severe.   I have to confess that I might have had some gluten over Christmas, I ate a lot of Belgium chocolates which were meant to be gluten free but the small print reveals that they were made in a shared facility, so I have probably brought this all on myself!

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified. I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
