Do Symptoms Come And Go?

My DS's GI has ruled out Celiac disease(however, we see him on Monday and I'm going to probe him for more answers). He is still having minor syptoms after 3 weeks straight of D and stomach pain. He still has major stomach pain, but the D has disappeared even to the point of constipation. He also is now having major headaches with a heat feeling inside his entire body! He is on Nulev for D and stomach pain. He is having such extreme symptoms, I just don't know what to think...

Like I said, if the dr. doesn't give us more definate answers on Monday, I'm going to try the gluten-free diet and forget the medical dr. It won't hurt anything.

My question to the forum is...

Can you have symptoms that go away and start again? Or change over time?

Has anyone have a hot feeling inside their whole body and headaches?

Absolutely! I started having stomcah issues at the age of 1-1/2 or 2 years of age. My sysmptoms came and went for years, I never knew when I would get sick. I was finally diagnosed at 13 years of age due to the symptoms being a daily occurence.

I was always a D sufferer but some people get C, or both C and D. I put out tremendous amounts of heat when I eat gluten. I also suffered from migraines rather frequently prior to going gluten-free.

Yes, except for the ataxia all my symptoms were 'come and go' for many years. A lot of damage was done in those years.

I was 30 before the D became a daily occurance and my intermittant joint pains became a daily agony. I did not show up in blood tests and no one told me anything about the diet other than I should be glad I did not have to be on it, yea right. Oh yea, and the children who are both honor students with never a grade below a B and usually A's in college, just didn't want to go to school, oh and they were depressed so have a pill. Whoops, got off on a bit of a rant there.

I am so glad to hear you will be doing the diet no matter what the tests outcome. It is the best way to find those of us who are not lucky enough to show positive. Only 6 months before I was diagnosed by an allergist (MD) my DD told me the family would understand if I killed myself. That allergist saved both my and my families life, without him and the dietary elimination and challenge (not the weeks that GI want, he had me stop as soon as my D came back). If only we had known when my children were little. It would have saved them so much pain and for my DD permanent disfigurement and my DS permanent severe growth stunting.

Thank you for your support. I would hate the fact that I listened to an MD and didn't stop the gluten, and my child develop cancer or such because I didn't do the diet. I'm taking a gut(no pun intend) feeling on this and doing the gluten free diet. I also am due for my appt., so I think I'm going to ask for bloodwork as well. I had C when I was younger. So bad that I would miss family gatherings and would be depressed forever about that. I'm thinking I have celiac disease as well as maybe my DD. She has severe excema, mood swings galore, and bloated. Like I said above, it won't hurt anyone if we all went gluten free.

You have definitely earned the right to rant. I feel bad for the medical community's ignorance of celiac disease then and still now. At least ONE doctor of yours could figure it out. I am so sorry.

If we were 100% symptomatic 100% of the time.....it'd be a lot easier to figure out and I guess we'd all be diagnosed by the time we were out of diapers. So the answer to familyfirst's question is YES.

I'm new here and just began eating gluten-free 8 days ago after suspecting a wheat problem for many years, but not realizing I needed to give up all glutens in order to avoid the problem. I'm learning now, and have just had the most productive week I've had at work in years - literally.

Anyway, the reason I'm replying to this topic is because when I read that someone said they have had stomach problems since childhood, a lightbulb went on for me. I had a peptic ulcer when I was 5 1/2, and I've always wondered why. I think at the time, the doctor said I was born with a weak stomach lining or something. I'm 43 now, so that was a long time ago. But I was wondering if that ulcer was related to this. Has anyone else had ulcers, especially at a young age?

I don't think everyone has the same symptoms either. I know I don't have the abdominal pain most have, though I do go from D to C and back again, have nice smelly stools, and have have the remains of red pimples on my back and sides (and I haven't even heard of DH until I began researching celiac disease on the net).

I'm in a venting mood, so forgive me if I'm grousing a bit much.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
