Is there any link between Celiac, Chrone's and Irritable Bowel? My daughter's grandma (dad's side) has Chrone's and had a colostomy about 2 1/2 years ago. Her uncle (again...dad's side) has ulcerative colitis. Both grandma and uncle also have irritable bowel. After reading everything that I have so far, I am completely convinced that my fiance has celiac as well! Do you think the whole family is cursed with problems and do you think that my daughter has a higher chance of developing Chrone's? We are not 100% sure that she has Celiac, but will know better after tomorrow. Blood test was positive, endoscopy in the morning! I know that Celiac is genetic, but no one on her dad's side has every been diagnosed with it, but they have had other problems. Thanks for the help!!!

Yes,I have heard of people having celiac and chrones + having celiac and IBS. So m,any times with further investigation people will find their IBS is actually celiac disease. If she is found to be celiac and goes gluten free she will get much better and probably would not develop chrons. wish you much luck with your daughters testing!! Living gluten free is so rewarding with better health, I advise it even without a definite diagnosis if a trial of at least a month shows health improvement. :):) evie

Hi Gail and welcome. :) A positive blood test is positive. No false positives, only false negatives are possible. The medical community is clueless with this disease for the most part. It sounds like your fiance's relatives have been given the same old labels many of us have had, they probably have celiac or gluten intolerance. I would get to a health food store, get some gluten free cereals and rice pasta and coupled with fresh fruits and veggies and meats, your little one will be feeling so good and healthier than most other kids her age. Get a gluten-free cookbook (there are many check out the recipes/cooking section on here for recommendations) and pm nini for the "newbie survival kit" that she has graciously put together for people who are new to this. There are plenty of gluten free substitutions and you will find it gets much easier over time. She is little and will adapt better than older children do. Take care and keep us posted :)

I believe my son has IBS on top of the Celiac. Now that he is gluten free he is much better but about once a month he goes into a cycle where he becomes constipated again and complains that his stomach and "butt" hurt. At first I was worried about accidental glutening but it can't be because it is on a monthly cycle and unfortunately for my family, I don't change anything in our diet (very boring cook). So there is no reason for him to be contaminated once a month and not every week if it were something in his diet. His stomach also acts up when he is nervous or scared. We had a Chuck E Cheese B-Day party last weekend. As soon as he saw the character come out in costume, that was it. He was sick in the bathroom with his stomach the rest of the time. This happens any time we go some where knew where he is not comfortable.

      So sorry to hear you are going through this!   What OTC med did you take?

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
