I thought maybe you could help me figure ot what is wrong with me......you all are very knowledgeable and your insight might be very helpful.

When i wake up i feel hungover and really tired. I have had upper abdominal tenderness on my right side along my ribcage. have burning eyes a lot of the time and nausea usually just right when i wake up. When my stomach feels real sore i have a really dry mouth. My legs feel weak and stiff off and on, stiff neck and if i overexert myself, my stomach will get really tender (in the area of the liver). My thyroid has gone from 1.3 to 2.16 and i have an elevated liver enzyme of 52 (ALT) and all of the other enzymes are on the upper normal. I do have an H.Pylori infection (Biohealth) and abundant E. Coli. I am worrried if my liver is in danger. My ALT went from 26 to 52 in about 6 months and my liver is always really tender. I eat extremely simple and clean, so gluten is most likely not the problem. Before all of these problems started, even celiac disease, I got really sick where i was vomitting and pooping blood. I went to the hhospital and the bleeding stopped and they said i had the stomach flu. I have never been the same since. My brainfog has improved, but my body feels beat down. Im only 27. The best way i can describe how i feel is toxic. My eyes are always red and irritated, dry mouth, nausea, weak, upper abdominal tenderness (worse on empty stomach), moody. And my adrenals are out of whack. High cortisol in the morning and night, but normal in the day. Cortisol/Dhea ratio 9:1. Please help

Hello Wayne,

I have been reading your posts for a while now, and I feel so bad for you. Alot of what you said, is the way that I feel. Have the Drs ever checked to see if your gallbladder is still functioning? I know that when I was at my sickest, my liver functions were abnormal, and within the following months, it was removed, but....I still didn't feel better. I recently started seeing a ND, who I think has helped me to some degree. I am still loaded with fungal overgrowth and it is doing a number on my entire system.

Have you ever been tested for that? It seems like something toxic is pouring into your system and making you feel like crap...And I know, you're scared and fustrated. I get the weakness in my legs at times, muscles pains, tenderness in my abdomen. Do you have any Dr at this point that you think might be able to test you for foods that you might be allergic to? I hope you get some answers soon, and that you'll be on your way to feeling better. :)

H pylori can do a number to you along with ecoli. Also, when your body is overun by something it gives other things that may have been held in check the opportunity to proliferate.

I really recommend coming over to the OMG I Might Be On To Something thread and posting your story there. Some there have had h pylori and can see if their symtpoms match with yours or not. There are so many variables it could be or it might just be these two things you're dealing with.

Sounds like you need liver support. A good naturopath/holistic doctor or LLMD will be able to suggest what would be best.

I would also recommend muscle testing if you aren't against alternative treatment......in particular one called ART (autonomic response testing). If you are in the west it would be pretty easy to track down someone who does that, I'm guessing your in the SW or south midwest by an earlier picture you had. ART will tell you what your stressors are at this time and also what will be most effective in dealing with and supporting the body while treating it.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
