I Think I Have Celiac.....

My doc tested me 2 weeks ago for Chrone's Disease to rule it out but he feels I have Celiac. since my daughter found out she has it 3 yrs. ago. I have done alot of reading on this and even went gluten/wheat free for a week to see if I noticed a difference. I did!!! I wasnt starving an hour after I ate and my abdomin pain seem to lessen and I didnt look like a mini balloon. BUT.... I noticed I was very tired all the time!!! Is this a reaction to the diet? I have ordered a "home Celiac test" that I have found online, because I am impatient and cant wait for my doc appt. next week. I have noticed a big difference going back to the regular eating. Does anyone else have problems being tired on the Celiac diet? Is there something to help?

Alot of celiacs feel tired & worn out......good days -bad days-ups & downs.thin one hour & a size bigger in a matter of minutes. Yep that's our world!!!!!! It does get better and the diet is not a bad diet, once the reality sets in............

glad you feel better on the diet.... good luck

fyi - i'd be wary of a "home celiac test". I can't imagine any way that would actually work -- unless it something you're sending to a lab afterwards...

In your new gluten-free diet were you making sure you were eating a well balanced diet too? Enough protein? Fatigue and flu-like exhaustion are common symptoms of autoimmune diseases, although I don't know if/why going gluten-free would cause those symptoms to peak.

Where online did you find a "home celiac kit" and what on earth is it? :blink:

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
