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.

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".
