A Little Nervous About All This...


NemesisChick

My daughter and I are both being tested for this disease. I am 42 and she is 21. We first heard of this disease last week while visiting with the GI doctor. Our labs were drawn 2 days ago and we are waiting for the results. We have our colonoscopy/endoscopy tests scheduled for next Wednesday. So far none of the labs are back except our Folate, and it's pretty low. The Chem 14 for me was fine.

Our symptoms are similar: diarrhea x many years, polyarthritis, reflux, abdominal distension, and something like cold sores often at the crease of our mouths. My daughter has had Orthostatic Hypotension since she was 14, along with this whole mess.

I know this is wierd, but if this is the answer, then it is a blessing. She is always in pain and looks so unhealthy and is on so many medications. Does anyone else out there have any experience with Orthostatic Hypotension and this disease? Because this is a symptom, MAYBE she can stop all these medications, and feel much better....

I hadn't heard of Orthostatic Hypotension, but I just looked it up on Wikipedia and the symptoms sound very much like the same symptoms I have had with celiac disease:

Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, blurred or dimmed vision (possibly to the point of momentary blindness), generalized (or extremity) numbness/tingling and fainting. They are consequences of insufficient blood pressure and cerebral perfusion (blood supply).

Though I would feel this just while sitting at my desk at work. I also have gotten cold sores at the crease of my mouth and sores on the inside of my mouth. I haven't gotten the ones on the outside though in a long time! I wish you both luck on finding out what the problem is. I know what you mean about just wanting to find the answer. It's not that you want it to be celiac, you just want to be able to feel healthy again!

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
