Dear all

I am new member here and thought I could find some friendly advise or opinion from people that is celiac as me.

I had an operation on my stomach for a bowel obstruction which trigged my celiac disease. I had my operation in 2005 and 2006 had to go twice for blood transfusion to hospital until finally the doctors found it was the gluten problem.

I have been more than one year on gluten free diet which helped me to feel better. However, lately I started to feel tired again and my hair falling down. Can it be perhaps the milk? I still drink milk as the doctor said my problem was only gluten no lactose. Any opinion about it? I will have to face anyhow my doctor with my new blood results during the next days.

Other thing that really scared me was strong acid pain on my stomach which was passed to the lower part of my back

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
