Frustrated - Not Getting Well/questions About Enterolab

Hi there-

I got my enterolab results and it said I have a celiac gene and gluten intolerance gene, positive antibodym(18), and moderate malabsorption score (771) SO I believe I have Celiac's Disease because I haven't felt good my whole life.

I also have hashimoto's thyroid disease - so between the two I am still very, very fatigued, constipated, and irritable and depressed. My new doc is putting me on a new thyroid med to get that working better, but it has been almost 3 months gluten-free and 3 weeks dairy free. I am no better! Nothing and I'm frustrated. I read all of these people getting better so much quicker! Is it celiac or thyroid? Both? Ugh!

This was missed because I have fatigue, depression, irritability, and constipation so they were focusing on thyroid.

My new doc says the enterolab results don't necessarily mean I have celiac's, but when I got the results I was RELIEVED because I finally had an answer to this lifelong struggle. Now I'm not so sure and it is taking so long to get well. Any thoughts?

Okay I'm 3 months into it also. My doctor's have doubted that my enterolab results are true about me having Celiac Disease, but I am sticking with it - just gluten free/dairy free for 6 months...then I will look into eliminating the others...like soy, rice, or corn products...

I would recommend waiting it out. The majority of people I have met took around 1 year to heal.

Thanks for the encouragement. It is good to hear that I'm not alone - waiting for health! Hopefully others will respond with how long this takes.

      Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this, I am new to the forum though hopeful my research is relevant to someone reading this. I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist currently conducting research on Coeliac Disease at the University of Surrey and my research has been approved by an NHS committee allowing me to advertise online. My research is a doctoral thesis involving a 3-session online cognitive behavioral therapy group intervention, developed by myself and a current patient with Refractory Coeliac Disease, designed to reduce anxiety in those diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac type 1 and 2. This intervention will include evidence based support to reduce anxiety for a form...
