Nash (nonalcoholic Steatohepatis) & Celiac


Gerri

Recommended Posts

Hi I new here,

I have been diagnosed with NASH, and I have been following a gluten free diet. I asked my gastro, if there was a connection with NASH and Celiac disease. I really didn't get a answer. I have many stomach problems, Ankylosing Spondylitis gene (HLA B27+), leaky gut, acid reflux, constipation, small bowel crohns, diabetes, many allergies, small amount fluid around heart, mild COPD, asthma, lactose intolerant and the list goes on.

When I started watching the gluten I ate, my bowels movements were lot softer. My severe obstructed sleep apnea, became controlled.

I am wondering if I should go back and ask my doctor to test me for Celiac disease.

I haven't had time to research an article that states a link directly to NASH, but there is a direct link to diabetes.

Many Celiacs have test results with elevated liver enzymes. There is a link to auto-immune liver disease. (I don't know the name, but my daughter's ped. gastro. warned me about it. It could be NASH for all I know.)

You have enough reseasons to be tested for Celiac, but you would have to eat gluten. If you feel better on a gluten free diet, do you really want to start eating gluten for testing?

I had elevated liver enzymes before I went gluten free and then after going gluten free they went back down. However, that was about 3 1/2 years ago and then last fall I was having blood work done and they were slightly elevated again. I was working around gluten, but still had a gluten free diet and I am no longer working around gluten. I was wondering if anyone experienced the same thing and more about liver disease (I do not drink alcohol or do any of the other causes of liver disease). Any input is appreciated! Also, how long should I wait to be retested?

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
