So i thought celiac disease usally gives you D but almost always i seem to be constipated, never remember reading this as as symptom, When i was sick with the flue about a month ago i had really bad D that continued for over 2 weeks until they moved me back onto reguler foods, i continued to eat and continued to eat, was having better movements but malaboshion was obviuse * food was coming back out htat i ate but not D* then i went out to eat and had a club sandwich with batterd cross hatch frys the next day the blood stools started. After about 4 days of these my doctor finally saw me and said i may have IBS but to also do some research into celiac disease and eat as if i had it, thats when i joined this site. After following the diet for about 2 days the blood went away and i started to be reguler again * and started to feel great :)* then last week i had D for one day and my symptoms started to come back the D went away but now im all plugged up, i dont really feel like i need to go but i know i should since i have only gone once today and never really yesterday. Can celiac make you plugged or am i eating something wrong or maybe its not celiac that is really causing my symptoms i dont know. Not to worried about it just looking for some opinions on my corked bum

As many questions as you've had, you should be getting to the top of the learning curve fast. Yes C can be a symptom of celiac disease. That's what I have now, but i did start off with the classic D of celiac disease. (floating, frothy, pale and oh so very very stinky). Certain foods bind me - cheese, rice and bananas. But I can usually counter that with dried apricots, raisins and pears. Lots of water. Whenever things don't go as needed, I use Citucel - it's gluten-free and was recommended to my by my gi. I know the dosage seems excessive, but I start out with one dose at night, then again in the a.m. if things still aren't going, and keep it up until things do move along. Since I've upped my fruit intake, I haven't had to resort to good ole Milk of Mag. That's a sure fire unstopper!

You can absolutely have C. I did. The "Old Paradigm" of Celiac says D only, but now we know that paradigm was wrong. You can have one or the other or alternate between.

Lister--I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bananas are constipating for a lot of people. That's why when kids (or anyone) gets D, they're told to eat bananas. How about an apple or some other fruit that you like?

i was staying away from other fruits because of acidic content, my stomic still gets upset really easaly and bananans are cheap. Oh well i guess just rice chips today for me then, as the only food i have is some rice chips bananas and some pork and potatoes but i cant cook the pork or potatoes because i cant get a email back from ajax about there soap

im not really eating too many bananas either, i had 1 that one day and 2 yesterday unless thats alot?

A little good news for you here--according to the CSA Gluten Free Product Guide, Ajax dish liquids--all variants--are gluten-free! Now you can make yourself a good meal! :) Cause you're not getting enough protein ;)

I think I am the queen of C, I pretty much never get D so when I do I know something really is not right with my system.

What works for me with the C is drinking hot water with lemon juice from about 1/2 a lemon. Also eating watermelon often does the trick.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
