Chrone's + Celiac


May9

Recommended Posts

May9 Rookie

I have been on the celiac diet for almost 2 years now with the small intestines just now showing small signs of healing. I have been diagnosed with chrone's disease for only a few weeks and was wondering if anybody else has noticed the connection between the two diseases? My surgeon said it is extremely rare for one person to have both problems. If anyone has dealt with this before could you tell me if there are any foods I should stay away from. My gastrointeralologist says there really isn't and so does my dietician. Just trying to get all the information I can as soon as possible.

I know that was my HUGE mistake when I was first diagnosed with celiac. I didn't even try to get information and thought I could go wheat free gluten free on my own. BIG MISTAKE!! Caused a lot of serious damage.

Thanks for any help. I so enjoy reading this site but very rarely do I post here. Reading and just knowing that other people have the same problems I do helps me sooo much just to get through those really bad days when I crave a Dominoes pizza or a peice of KFC chicken. Thanks again.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
