- Heatherisle replied to Heatherisle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms37Blood results
She is waiting to get bloods done to check for various things including bone profile. As far as I know she does a lot of cooking from scratch, lots of veg, chicken. She’s never been a fan of processed foods like cold ham but does like bacon and will also buy gluten free sausages. Shares a flat with her friend who is aware of her coeliac. As far as I’m awa... -

@Heatherisle, Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? A combination of Thiamine Hydrochloride (or Benfotiamine) and B12 and Pyridoxine B6 relieves pain as well as over-the-counter pain relievers. What sort of food does she eat on the GFD? Many gluten free processed foods? -

Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result
Your doctor is incorrect! Your positive DQB1*02 is all you need to develop Celiac disease. Just having one copy is sufficient to develop Celiac.

- Scott Adams replied to Mihai's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease9Pain in the right side of abdomen
I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period. The upc... -

Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet
Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

She’s never been a fan of processed foods like cold ham but does like bacon and will also buy gluten free sausages. Shares a flat with her friend who is aware of her coeliac. As far as I’m aware they’re very careful about cross contamination but I know it’s possible it happens from time to time -

Your doctor is incorrect! Your positive DQB1*02 is all you need to develop Celiac disease. Just having one copy is sufficient to develop Celiac. Reference: Carrier frequency of HLA-DQB1*02 allele in patients affected with celiac disease: A systematic review assessing the potential rationale of a targeted allelic genotyping as a first-line screening "...importantly, a comparable risk of celiac disease development was present in individuals carrying a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02 alleles, no matter the paired HLA-DQA1 alleles." And... "If we could consider a mass screening looking for the carrier status of HLA-DQB1*02 only, we may identify 95% of celiac disease predisposed patients and, concomitantly, rule out (with no more than a 5% error) the lifetime risk of disease in 60%-70% of the general population: These non-predisposed individuals should never receive the serological screening, unless any consistent clinical symptoms appear at some point of the existence without any other explanation." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7109277/ Classical celiac disease is more frequent with a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02: A systematic review with meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6375622/ Also, the Malabsorption of Celiac can cause low B vitamins (and minerals) that are related to poor oral health.

I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period. The upcoming dietitian visit is a great step, since hidden gluten exposure or nutritional gaps can sometimes contribute to ongoing symptoms. That said, if the pain is persistent, worsening, or feels similar to her prior cyst symptoms, it’s reasonable to mention that to her doctor for peace of mind. It’s not uncommon for multiple things to overlap, so checking both GI and gynecologic angles can help rule things out and reduce anxiety while her body continues healing. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. -
