Hey Other Sufferers! Diagnosis tomorrow


AlexanotlikeAmazon

Recommended Posts

AlexanotlikeAmazon Newbie

Hey there everyone! 
So I finally have my diagnosis TOMORROW! I’m 22 years old and feel like I’ve been dealing with this for 4 years now, but within the last year everything has got progressively worse. I guess I should’ve asked some of these questions months ago. But hey here we are...

Anyway, I had the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy done about two weeks ago, with stool samples, and biopsies. 

My question is: Has anyone who is diagnosed, experience these specific symptoms.

when I wake up I feel as if I’m hypoglycemic, my body is tingly, cold sweats (no matter how I dress myself when going to sleep) and then the urgency to go release a bowel movement (usually extremely oily, Diarrhea, or thin stringy) 

Also I feel as if my joints and bones are popping out of place a lot more frequently and a lot more painfully then they ever had ( this was a hard one to pin point because I use to dance competitively and so my joints naturally crack and pop in and out of place) 

I have ALLLL of the other symptoms that all lead to Celiacs, but I truly just want to know if anyone else had the same morning routine/experience. 
 

(if anyone is wondering my back story, I’ve always been a fit young girl, never had health problems, ate pretty good, except for the occasional gatherings, and parties. I recently got diagnosed with Endometriosis last November as that was something else I had suspected I had FOR YEARS. I’m glad I finally went to the Gastroenterologist but geez this celiacs seems like no freakin joke, if it ends up being the answer)

The oily stools and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms. It sounds like you may have other medical issues as well. It is common for celiacs to develop other autoimmune diseases.

That’s what I’ve been told/researched and found! Also, definitely will be checking after the diagnosis to make sure there aren’t any other underlying issues.

Did you get any blood tests done? Normally you would have a blood screening before doing the endoscopy. If so, please share the results. If not, you should ask your doctor to do this before you go gluten-free.

Hi there, my doctor had asked for the stool and blood samples the day of my first appointment, She had said that we’d go over ALL of the results from the tests to the endoscopy/colonoscopy and biopsies on the follow up. Unfortunately they rescheduled my follow up without me knowing. So I won’t be able to give an update till tomorrow.

Good luck, please let us know how things turn out!

      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.
