Hello everyone..

My names mandy ..

After a long 14 month sof illness ..misery giving up my home etc..I THINK and hope I am on the right track..

I am doing challenge ready for biopsy as been so ill it all started after I had surgery and loads of antibiotics ..oh and also got made redundant after reporting sexual harrassement..so could be any one of these things that have triggered it..

My main symptoms are gi symptoms when it all started 14 months ago I had massive distention, constipation, diarreah, seizures, really bad deppression, anxiety, low self esteem, heart burn, pains in stomach, thick rash thing at base of my bum crack excuse my explanation!!!! I do suffer from herpes and thought it was that but I dont think it was now I am looking into this whole celiac thing..

Also, today my lip looks like I ve had btox and I have what I thought was a cold sore but does anyone get lots of little blisters on thier lips? I have 4 on my lip and one on my skin below my lip and you dont normally get them there do you??

May be its the stress of the challenge as I feel so ruff all the time and I am going out of my mind stuck in here as never feel up to go anywhere and I ve been signed off work til test got another 2 1/2 weeks yet ..

Oh well at least the sun is shinning ahey ...hope your all getting better..better..or recovering well

Take care everyone

:)Mand

just spreading some thoughts to people:

anyway, anyone who sees this should attempt a "no table salt or iodized salty food diet" for a few weeks. if you have the same lip/mouth area dh/acne then its worth doing. i have also changed my soap from the dial gel which you need the sponge thingy to a bar of white ivory.

if you do this lmk how it works out for you, also kosher salt is okay, so if you do and want to go out to eat bring a little w/ you.

only the best,

thanks about that tip about no salt. I have Dh and my son gets the mouth and lip blisters. So I hope this will make it better for both of us.

I only use dove, is that close enough to white ivory, or shouild i change to that.

not sure about dove, but i was told that as long as its not colored soap then it should be okay and that is what im going by. not exactly the most scientific approach, but it seems to be fine.

anyways, w/ the salt though i do recommend that you avoid iodized salt and anything salty for a few weeks and see how it goes. it can difficult, but just eat more fruit and you'll be fine!

lmk how it goes,

Stick with your Dove. They are safe. It is not the coloring in the soaps and shampoos and such we need to be careful of as 'Vitamin E', may be from wheat or soy, oats, wheat germ oil, and some of the vehicles for fragrances. Most products have a phone number or web site the safest thing to do with everything is to call the number. As a bonus many times the company will offer to send coupons or samples. Makes it doubly worth the call.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
