Bacteria

My son has not improved enough on the gluten-free diet and his ttg levels are extremely high after 9 months. His Dr. did his biopsy again and took other samples. Today they told me he has a bacteria in his duodenum " we are trying to make heads or tales of this, we will call you when we know more" Has anyone else had this, if so what is it and how is it treated, is it related to Celiac disease?

Thanx for any opinions

You said, 'again' regarding the biopsy - did he have one before? If so, what did it say? I know that people question Dr. Fine (enterolab) but I just watched a video of one of the support groups he spoke at, in my area, and he spoke of bacteria in the duodendum (sp) - it was either a beleived cause of celiac disease or vise versa - but definately, they were related. Let us know.

There was a study a little while back about people not improving on a truely gluten-free diet (so no accidental exposure) often having SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). Perhaps that is the issue here?

It does sound like possible bacterial overgrowth, which anybody can have. Some people take a probiotic like Culturelle and sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics. It's simple to take care of.

Thanx for all of your replies.

kirst4588, you ask if he had a biobsy before. We went through the motions but due to an asthma attack under anesthetia, they had to abort the procedure before getting any samples.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
