i was wondering if anyone would be willing to start a list of disorders and issues related to celiac?

my dd was dx'd about 3 months ago, figuring she inherited it from somewhere i have been tested(everything was negative but i am gluten-free anyway to support my dd, and it has helped with my "IBS" and fatigue, no surprise there right!), my husband is going next, but i am trying to convince him to go gluten-free after the test anyway just to see if it clears up some of his issues. he's tough to convince tho.

some of his issues include: sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, irritability, extreme fatigue to the point of disrupting his everyday life, chronic severe allergies.

anyway, i thought if i could show him that some of his problems may be helped or cleared with the diet it might convince him thank you very much in advance~K

You can start here:

https://www.celiac.com/categories/Celiac-Di...-and-Disorders/

But there are so many related symptoms, the way I see it, Celiac can cause virtually any systemic disorder. That is, anything not caused by a bacterium or virus. It just depends on what parts of the intestine get damaged, and to what degree. All your husband's symptoms can be from Celiac, which may or may not be what either of you want to hear.

rice guy,

thx so much for that link! im going to take some more time to read through everything later when i'm not chasing my 4 year old around the house! lol as far as that being what either of us wants to hear...im totally on board if that ends up being his diagnoses, even if its not i am still urging him to try the diet, he's coming around very slowly. he says he's tired of being miserable and that if the gluten-free diet is a pretty good bet as far as helping him feel better than he just might try it. it will be nice to have the info to put right in front of him! thx again!

Here are two more lists, broken into "Definitely Associated w/ celiac disease" & "Probably Assoc".

Since I've had a few off the Probable list, I'd move those to the Definite list if I could.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
