Everytime I eat I get bad stomach bloating, indigestion so bad that I feel like I am going to throw up, headaches and I sometimes have to go #2 really bad about 30 mins after eating and all I want to do is get in bed. Well all I ever want to do is sleep. I usually go to bed at 10 every night, and get up at 7:30. I stay so tired all the time. And I cry alot. Everyone says that I am very sensitive, sometimes just talking to my boss will make me cry. I get really irratated really fast too. Its really becoming a problem because it usually happens with my daughter. Oh and sometimes I feel constapated so I have taken exlax pills and nothing happens. I have told my doctor most of these things and he has given me an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and everything was fine, except I had a cyst on my ovaries, but they said that was nothing to worry about. I just recently started my period two weeks early which is very unusal for me. I asked him about Celiac and he said he doesn't think it could be because I don't have diarria but he drew some blood to check anyways. Does this sound like celiac disease to anyone?

I couldn't tell you whether or not it's celiac - but your symptoms sound identical to mine (besides the ovaries part, being a guy an all).

I went through blood, stool, urine, & breath tests, upper & lower scope, & biopsy. They told me that I had a bacteria overgrowth & gave me an antibiotic and sent me on my way. Now after being on the meds for 45 days - my symptoms have pretty much all came back - tells me that it wasn't a bacteria overgrowth (my prescription doesn't run out until tomorrow evening).

After my test, before my results came back, I went gluten free & started to feel much much better. The antibiotic made me feel a little better yet. Went into gluten again, no immediate problems, but sure enough, a month or so later, I'm almost back to square one - so I restarted my gluten free diet yesterday.

Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did. Find yourself a good doctor (sounds like you need a new one for this problem) with an open mind and an open ear.

Best of Luck to You - please keep me informed

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      That's great news, you can do this.  Let us know how things go and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. Cristiana 😊
