Hi after been told 10 yrs ago i was not coeliac . Yesterday’s it was 100% confirmed through blood test and previous biopsy that i am . What i wanted to know was do many people have the condition without constant symptoms ? As i the only symptom i have is bouts of nausea ?

I had few to no symptoms, mainly some nausea. Without symptoms it is silent celiac disease.

A very common experience, Treza. I was essentially a silent celiac and only diagnosed because of persistently elevated liver enzymes for 13 years leading up to diagnosis. There is much ignorance and outdated knowledge in the medical community, especially among general practitioners concerning the wide range of presentations and symptoms in celiac disease. But I would consider nausea to be a classic symptom and not silent.

There are many non classic symptoms that are caused by Celiac Disease and misdiagnosed as another disease.  And many symptoms we are led to believe are normal part of aging.  Part of the problem is the misguided belief that wheat is essential to health and god given.

@Treza,

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, many of us only develop more severe symptoms after years of mild symptoms which often get attributed to other factors and overlooked.  

Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you are healing.  Subclinical deficiencies can affect your health.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps improve nausea.  Vitamin D, the eight essential B vitamins, and magnesium levels are often low in newly diagnosed Celiacs.

Hope this helps.
