Crohn's Disease?

A friend of the family was just diagnosed with Crohn's. I'm almost positive they didn't do any testing for celiac. She just had a baby a couple of months ago. I'm not sure how long she's had symptoms

I've seen several people on here mention that they have Crohn's as well as celiac, or were misdiagnosed with Crohn's and then found out it was celiac.

On the NIH's fact sheet they say that celiac can be misdiagnosed as Crohns.

Any info / insight?

Hi there,

I knew I had read this a bunch of times so I searchd "Crohn's" in this thread and came up with this:

I hope that helps a bit!

I'm sure it is related, just read back to my posts when I started getting sick again this year ;) ... Thats what the doctors are suspecting, thats what I am suspecting I have ... The docs think Celiac has triggered off Crohn's (but since I dont get my results until the 14th, i dont know if we assume right...)

Well, the symptoms are certainly the same. My dr is convinced I don't have celiac ("passed" the tests) and since I was still having symptoms gluten-free he's testing me for Chrone's and ulcerative colitis.

I figure its worth ruling those things out, but more and more I'm thinking gluten is my issue. I keep waiting for a good time to "test" myself with a slice of pizza or something, but I'm afraid to! LOL

Plus, I'm not sure I've actually made it a whole week truly gluten-free (eating out, etc.) so I'm waiting for a good week or so before I "test" myself...maybe. Then again, maybe I'll just skip the test and stay gluten-free! LOL

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
