Abstract

We report a patient with late-onset celiac disease and neurological manifestations including myopathy, polyneuropathy, and ataxia.

Laboratory investigations showed anti-gliadin antibodies and severe vitamin E deficiency.

Muscle biopsy revealed inflammatory infiltrates and rimmed vacuoles, similar to those found in inclusion-body myositis.

A gluten-free diet and vitamin E supplementation reversed both the clinical neurological manifestations and the abnormalities in the muscle biopsy.

Anti-gliadin antibodies were no longer present.

This case illustrates the spectrum of neurological complications of celiac disease and documents the occurrence of reversible pathology resembling inclusion-body myopathy in the muscle. Muscle Nerve 2004

He accepted my Enterolab results, and based on that, my history and dietary response, diagnosed me. He was recommended by the local CSA of America support group.

Doesn't think she's God. Considers the doctor patient relationship a team. Wants to hear what you have to say. Never made me feel like I was a hypochondriac.

Dr. Vallero, MD GI

Roseville and Carmichael, CA

Didn't make me feel like a hypochondriac. Didn't seem too sold on the celiac thing, but completely open and not confrontational or critical at all. I had the biopsy done, but more to check and make sure there wasn't anything more scary causing my symptoms. At my followup appt, he said that he had other patients who had negative biopsies but positive dietary response and to keep doing what I was doing. He said that I figured it out on my own.

Yinka Davies, MD Pediatric GI

Roseville, CA and Downtown Sacramento, CA

I had already put Jenny gluten-free for over a month when we had our appt. Told her the whole story and that I put her gluten-free because of Enterolab testing and how much better Jenny was doing. She was very interested and seemed to enjoy hearing about Jenny's before and after. All she said about the biopsy was that she was just asking because it was the gold standard, and <I didn't want to have the biopsy for Jenny did I?> I told her no. She said great. So all we're doing is blood work twice a year to make sure she's not developing any other related issues.

.....................

I've been very, very lucky with finding great MDs. I know how rare that is on this board. I really don't think that our GP's would have ever brought celiac/gluten intolerance up on their own, but when I brought it up, they went down that path right along with me.

I also cannot say enough good things about my GI doc.

I went in complaining of severe bloating after eating - I didn't even know what celiac disease was.

Because I am a T1 diabetic he suspected diabetic gastroparesis and did an upper endoscopy to see if my stomach was dumping it's food. Well while he was in there he decided to do a biopsy of my intestine- I did not know he was doing this. Well low and behold gastro was ruled out and the "most abnormal biopsy I've ever seen" confirmed the Celiac dx.

For those in MA/NH - Ayer is located in the Northern Central part of the state.

Dr. Alwyn Koil (NM Pediatrics) & Dr. Thomas Rothfeld (Presbyterian)

both of Albuquerque, NM

both general pediatricians and WONDERFUL doctors - very nice. Dr. Koil not totally sold on Enterolab because he's not familiar with them, but is very supportive and interested.

Dr. Jay Jacobi (SW Medical)

General practitioner - also of Albuquerque

I haven't had occasion to tell him about my family going gluten-free yet, but I fully expect him to be supportive when I do.

I wanted to add Dr. Jeffrey Fahl with the University of New Mexico. I haven't seen him myself, but we work for the same Univeristy and he is a VERY nice guy.

***ARIZONA***

Dr. Shimamoto, SanTan Allergy and Asthma, Mesa (or Gilbert?), Arizona -- This is the single best doctor I have ever known! All 3 of our kids are being treated by him. He is the most down-to-earth, easy-going, yet extremely knowledgeable person you'd ever meet. My kids love going to him and the 35 minute drive to his office is so worth it. I would probably drive 2 hours to go to this guy if I had to...just can't say enough. It took 7 months and 4 doctors to make even a slight dent in my youngest son's issues. I had more answers in my first visit with this doctor than I did with all the rest put together.

Dr. Nancy Yokois, Pediatric GI, Scottsdale, AZ -- We've only been to her once. She was patient, extremely thorough, answered all our questions, very knowledgeable of celiac and eosinophilic disorders. No one can compare to Dr. Shimamoto, but she does come in a close second and I would highly recommend. She came highly recommended to us by several different people and it's easy to see why once you meet her.

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
