Are There Symptoms To Expect When Withdrawing From Gluten?

I recently had a celiac panel ran on my daughter. She has always had a swollen belly (more recently with stomach pain), small butt, recurrent ear infections resulting in tubes, reactive airway (which I thought she had outgrown) bouts of croup strep, pnumonia, removal of tonsils and adenoids. I learned that I had issues with gluten, not diagnosed celiac but ulcerative colitis. I removed gluten from my diet and expiereinced relief in multiple ways. I recently brought my daughter in to see a allergist because she was constantly clearing her throat...always complaining it was itchy. With that and the afore mentioned symptoms I asked him eot run a celiac panel.

---------------------------------------------

IgG 10.2

IgA 0.8

TTG IgA 0.6

Endomysial IGA Negative

Total Serum IgA 72

Results may support a diagnosis of celiac disease, but are not specific. IgG serological marker for celiac disease detected. AGA IgG elevations with IgA deficiency indicates that celiac disease is probable. AGA IgG elevations with normal total IgA occur in normal individuals as well as other GI conditions. HLA typing may be helpful. (Prometheus)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Can anybody help me understand what these results mean??? Allergist said that this meant nothing not to worry. I removed gluten from her diet anyway. Her belly shrank and mood greatly improved, no more upset tummy. She has had a ear infection and the throat clearing seems to have increased since gluten removal. Allergist said it was asthma and put her on pulmicort and albuterol in nebulizer, cingulair, zyrtec (BTW scratch test showed only a dust mite allergy...he said if had to scale on 1 to 4 would maybe a 1.)

I don't know what to do???Is the increase in throat clearing a detox type reaction?? After a week on nebulizer and etc I vaguely notice an improvement. I am scared that this is not asthma and I am over medicating. Or if a detox reaction is meds helping somthing that will just take time. I have read how gluten can affect lungs and also how new tissue replaces old tissue with diet improvement. Is this a rebuilding??

I am scared that I am not getting the right help here!!

IgG 10.2 (Low Under 10)

IgA 0.8 (Low Under 5)

TTG IgA 0.6 (Low Under 4)

Endomysial IGA Negative

Total Serum IgA 72 (Low 41 High 395)

Results may support a diagnosis of celiac disease, but are not specific. IgG serological marker for celiac disease detected.

Brought my daughter to a new doctor and he said she definetly does not have asthma. He even supported the Gluten Free Diet...said that they are learning more and more about this disease that they were unaware of in the past. I have discontinued nebulizer, continued with gluten free diet. I also added Natural calm (magnesium...I read that celiacs can cause magnesium defieciency), acidophilis, and multivitamin to the mix (all gluten free) and her cough seems to be decreasing. I do believe that is is a tic. I was in 3rd grade when I believe I first showed signs of gluten intolerance. By sixth grade I myself had a few tics (grew out of them). My daughter is just turning 4 tommorow and I believe her symptoms started around 1...Coincidence????

Any further comments about results above would still be appreciated!!!

I haven't seen any in my daughters but in my 3 yr old within the last 2 months how much she is getting bad cold that go to her chest for 2 weeks then go away for 1 week and come back. She is also on pulmicort and albuterol in a neb.

Maybe the throat clearing is alot of mucus from the asthma or post nasal drip my older daughter has this and caused her to cough ALOT she is now on nasonex and barely coughs now. I would ask about trying that, it won't hurt.

I hope everything gets better soon.

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
