How many of you had elevated liver enzymes as one of your presenting medical issues before Celiac diagnosis?

My husband has elevated liver enzymes. His weren't elevated before dx or even right after but they were at this last visit. He was dx last August. His doctor tested him for Hepatitis and he had Ultra Sounds and CT Scans to check for other things going on and since everything else was negative he said its from the Celiac and he'll monitor the levels and they should go down once he's healed more.

Count me in on that crazy symptom, too. Have had this off and on for ten years and was tested for hepatitis, and was told it was fatty liver disease common in diabetes, but I don't HAVE diabetes, so the drs. are stumped (of course) :)

my liver enzymes are slightly high...i had them tested when i was being tested for PCOS (which I have)...they had to test me before i could do any kind of fertility treatment...and we have not been able to figure out why they were slightly elevated...celiac had never occured to me...i dont have an "official" diagnosis of celiac...but i do most likely have it...or at least for sure a gluten intolerance...i'll have to bring this up with my GI doc when i see him next.

I kept waking up in the morning with a yellow face and eyes. Also incredibly nauseous. Had bloods tests which revealed I have very high billirubin (liver enzymes). Doctor says that I have Gilbert's Syndrome. Have I? Who knows - these quacks talk a lot of rubbish.

Before diagnosis my liver enzymes were all over the place, some were too high others were too low. My GP sent me to a liver specialist gastroenterologist- who of course checked for everything else first.

Mine were slightly elevated at times. My twin however had his liver deteriorating since birth. We have no way to know if this was celiac related as he passed away at 15, at that time his liver had been totally destroyed. Please be aware that you should not drink or take tylenol if your enzymes are elevated. Especially if you are young and still growing liver damage can be greatly accelerated.

My liver enzymes were elevated too. It was not the case my entire life though, only during a certain period. Went on the diet when first diagnosed (after the whole Hepatitis testing blah blah). Liver was okay after that. Went OFF the diet for a period of 6-8 months and felt absolutely fine but I ran a marathon and I guess that was too much for my body to take and my liver started acting up again and I lost some weight and the color in my face. Started back on the diet in Feb. 06 and have gained a bunch of weight back (ugh), have the color back in my face and I think my enzymes are fine. We shall see, I am donating platelets this weekend and I can ususally tell how my levels are doing by my iron tests during the donation period. I know that isn't a "scientific" way of judging but is a good indication for me.

pturse-

Why did you end up going off the diet?

My liver enzymes were in the very low end of the normal range last time they were tested. Doc said it was perfectly normal, but I started taking herbs to treat sluggish liver, and I feel much better!

I was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome about 10 years ago. My bilirubin was 3x higher than normal.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
