I have had high levels of this LDH for years all other blood work is normal so I looked it up searched if this is related to celiac and this was the answer.           Yes, celiac disease can cause high levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the blood. High LDH levels can be an alarm symptom of an acute exacerbation of celiac disease, even when a person is following a gluten-free diet. Other symptoms of an exacerbation include fever and night sweats.   LDH is an enzyme found in almost all body tissues. High LDH levels in the blood can also be caused by other conditions

Are you referring to refractory celiac disease? How can there be an "exacerbation" event of celiac disease while being in a gluten free state? Please include links to references that support your assertions.

It's great that you're staying informed about your health. Elevated LDH levels can indeed have many causes, and while celiac disease can sometimes be linked to high LDH, it’s just one possible factor. Since your other blood work is normal, it's good to keep monitoring it and consult with your doctor to rule out any other potential causes.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
